The perfect time to visit, or re-visit, this unique land as we celebrate the re-opening of the country and the Tokyo Japan Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and take in the cultural highlights of this wonderful land! Whether you are a returned missionary who served in Japan but haven’t been back since, haven’t had time to enjoy the unique sites of Japan while there for business, or always wanted to go but never had a good reason or the right group of friends to travel with – Mormon Heritage Association has been excitedly preparing for this day and we know that you will want to join us for this trip of a lifetime to the Land of the Rising Sun, JAPAN!
Our tour will arrive in perfect Spring time to witness the famous Japanese cherry blossoms in “mankai” (full bloom). You’ll be in excellent hands as the tour will be led by Richard Scott, veteran MHA tour guide and a returned missionary from Japan who has been doing business in Japan and throughout Asia for more than 35 years, supported by local licensed English/Japanese-speaking guides.
The Tokyo Japan Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was dedicated by President Spencer W. Kimball in October 1980 as the 18th operating temple in the church and the first temple in Asia. President Kimball called the dedication of the Tokyo Temple “the most significant and important event in the history of Asia.” In October 2017, the Tokyo Temple was closed for extensive renovations. Almost five years later, delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the temple’s renovation is complete and the temple was re-dedicated this past July by President Eyring and now, just since October 2022, Japan is finally open for visa-free tourism.
Participating in temple ordinances in this beautifully renovated House of the Lord will be a highlight you do not want to miss! In addition to an opportunity to visit and attend the temple, you’ll have SIX site-filled days enjoying the unique wonders of Japan’s rich history, architecture, culture, and food (don’t worry, there is plenty of delicious food to please every palate…it’s not all raw fish!).
Available spots for this tour will be limited to a single bus and will go on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t delay!
