Clients seeking to explore Japan in a quieter manner, outside of peak seasons should consider the underrated Autumn time to immerse themselves amongst the colours of nature that come to life across the country.
Australian-owned and operated rail specialist, Railway Adventures, has released an exclusive 16-day guaranteed departure “Japan By Rail- Highlights Of Honshu For The Colours Of Autumn”.
Marketing manager, Liane Carey, encourages agents to look outside the typical popular snow and spring seasons for their clients and to consider the stunning and colourful Autumn time and reminds all Australian agents of the 5% commission receivable on any Railway Adventures product.
