Start Planning

If any colors can represent Japan, then pink might be one of them.

Capture the spring cherry blossoms from south to north, blush to rouge. Then put on a carnation kimono, which matches the Fushimi Inari Shrine and Kiyomizu-Dera Temple, or the bright peach yukata, usually worn at a summer festival such as the famous Daimonji festival in Kyoto.

As for the sushi topped with pale pink flesh like tuna, salmon, and roe, Osaka's gourmet cuisine will never disappoint. Also, the iconic Mount Fuji, always turns into a flamingo hue at sunrise.

Start the Japan tour with this lovely soft color to experience the best of Japan.
