Overview of Karate Tour
Our Karate 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 Karate 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.
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 Karate Tour a 19 day extravaganza!
