CARNIVAL JOURNEYS

Each year, for only a short period of time, Japan and South Korea enter their most beautiful season, when nature transforms into brilliant shades of red, gold, and orange. From the romantic pathways of Nami Island, to the ancient temples of Kyoto, and the majestic scenery of Mount Fuji, this journey takes guests beyond famous landmarks and offers a complete autumn experience in East Asia. This itinerary is designed to bring guests to Japan at the most beautiful time of the fall foliage season, especially around the Mount Fuji area and Lake Kawaguchi.

This pilgrimage invites guests to walk through the sacred landscapes of the Holy Land, where Scripture, prayer, and history come alive. From Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea, Bethlehem, Mount Zion, and Jerusalem, each stop offers a meaningful opportunity to encounter the places connected to the life, ministry, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through daily private Mass, visits to holy sites, shared prayer, and guided reflection, this journey is designed not only as travel, but as a spiritual return to the roots of faith. It is a pilgrimage of remembrance, renewal, and grace for those who wish to deepen their relationship with God while walking through the land of the Bible.
