Collette sees surge in California travellers heading to Japan

Pawtucket, RI (April 10, 2023) – With Japan now back open to travellers, Collette, North America’s longest-running tour operator, has seen California travellers flocking to the Land of the Rising Sun. “They’re all selling well. Japan’s come back after recently opening up again,” said Dan Sullivan Jr., Chief Executive Officer at Collette. Both the “Japan: Past & Present” and “Cultural Treasures of Japan” tours have been a hit with travellers from the Golden State.

Travellers who embark on Collette’s “Japan: Past & Present” tour are able to enjoy many unique experiences like spending a day with female Ama pearl divers, spending a night at a working Buddhist Temple at Mount Koya, and hearing a first-hand account from an A-Bomb survivor at the Peace Park & Museum in Hiroshima.
