Simon explores garden-inspired travel at MIFGS and shares how you can experience Japan’s landscapes up close.

• Gardens connect cultures across the world, and events like MIFGS showcase international influences, inspiring gardeners to explore beyond their own backyard.
• Wendy Wu Tours specialises in immersive travel experiences, offering fully inclusive tours that cover flights, accommodation, meals, sightseeing and more.
• Their Japan tours are particularly popular, with a wide range of departures including cherry blossom seasons and garden-focused itineraries.
• The “Japan in Colour” tour is an 18-day experience hosted by Simon, featuring iconic destinations alongside visits to some of Japan’s most spectacular gardens and cultural highlights.
• Experiences go beyond sightseeing, including activities like fruit picking, traditional crafts and encounters with unique wildlife such as snow monkeys.
• Simon highlights the value of travelling to truly experience gardens in their cultural context, rather than just seeing them at exhibitions.
