Our Cherry Blossom Tour includes (all with official match tickets) Ireland v Samoa plus the two Tokyo based quarter-finals.
Over 11 days you will travel across stunning Japan using the famous Bullet trains as well as our executive coaches. Location highlights include Tokyo, Fukuoka and Nagasaki. A number of excursions (ancient shrines, monuments, museums etc) with our bilingual guides are included within the Cherry Blossom Tour package price. The language barrier should not be underestimated and our bilingual guides will help you to truly connect with the Japanese people and their culture.
We have also included a number of sociable lunches / dinners throughout the tour.
RTI Ambassador, Donal Lenihan, will accompany you on tour with other Rugby Legends to be announced over the coming months.
If you think that Ireland will progress to the semi-finals (we do!) then simply add our semi-finals Bolt On tour (see below) and make the Cherry Blossom Tour a 19 day extravaganza!
Finally, you will be invited to our Rugby World Cup 2019 Information Evening that will take place in Dublin, November 2018. Details will be forwarded to you closer to the time.
