Join Senior Jewelry Center Director Jonathan Wahl and Japanese jeweler and artist Sayumi Yokouchi for a carefully curated journey into Japan’s deeper layers — where art, craft, history, and food are inseparable from place and time.

This journey is designed for travelers who have already seen the world — and are now seeking depth rather than novelty. It offers space, silence, and encounters that cannot be replicated elsewhere — Japan revealed slowly. Tracing a path from Tokyo’s refined energy through Kyoto’s cultural core and Nara’s spiritual origins to Kanazawa, the city of living craft, this journey is thoughtfully designed for travelers who value meaning over spectacle.
