Bluegrass and Country Music in Japan? You bet! Join us in March 2025 for a ten day adventure from Tokyo to Kumamoto.

Hello there/ Konnichiwa!     In 2013, I went to Japan with my brother Tom to explore the bluegrass and country music scene which we’d heard was pretty vibrant. We made friends from Tokyo to Kumamoto, picking in small bars and H***y Tonks (yes, they exist in Japan, believe it or not!) and eventua...

Japan, May 2023, here we come! 10 nights in Japan, bullet trains, great music, new friends, small group, loads of fun. $5,280 per person twin share (ex Sydney), single supplement $470. Check out this video (mostly captured with my phone) of snippets of trips so far.

Hi, Folks - once AGAIN we have had to cancel a trip and reschedule. This time, unfortunately our May trip has been moved to Oct/Nov - details on the website. There is a small price increase due to us spending an extra day in Japan. Let's hope this one finally gets off the ground!

A few years ago I took a trip to Japan to explore the bluegrass scene there. Being half Japanese (my mother is from Hiroshima) I had been to this wonderful country many times; mostly as a child. It was a new experience to go there and travel mostly for the music. I jammed with great players and made...

Hey, Folks - I've had a lot of interest in my Japan tours lately - despite the travel uncertainty! Of course, if either the May or October trip is cancelled due to any restrictions, there will be a full refund so people have been booking anyway. October prices are coming soon and we still have spots available in May. Can't wait to get touring again to Japan - it's a heap of fun!

Hi, Folks - we've had a few people asking if there's a refund on the trip deposit if it doesn't go ahead due to international border closures and the answer is definitely yes. The website has been redone, too - check it out!

Hi there, Folks- we got a great price on our May ‘22 trip- and it’s selling already! We need a minimum of ten people to go and 15 is about the max. Contact Ian Greenwood at Travel Managers if you’re interested: 0404 841 038

Folks, once again it appears we can look at travelling to Japan. I know some of you have booked and postponed and others have made enquiries. I have two proposed trips in 2022: May and Oct/Nov, both beautiful times to be in Japan. We need a minimum of 10 people for a tour to go ahead. Please send me a message if you are interested or contact Ian Greenwood our travel agent on 0404 841 038. We are still working on prices. The tours are huge fun and the groups are only small. The largest has been 15 people and that's about our limit, so it doesn't take long before the name tags come off! If you want a general idea of how the tours run, visit denahymusictravel.com or message me your number and I can give you a call. For travel enquiries call Ian Greenwood. Let's hope you can come with us in May or October!

Hi, Folks - this is promising news after having to cancel/postpone four music trips to Japan since April 2020. Let's hope we can get back in 2022 - get in touch if you're interested!

Folks, for anyone with questions about my music tours, from what we do, where we go, when can we go, etc., we'd love you to join this live discussion where you send in your queries and I'll do my best to help you with info. Of course, there will be speculation as to travel dates opening, but it will all be part of the discussion.

21/07/2020

Bluegrass and country music in Japan - yes, let's do it! We're going again May 2021, all being well and we'd love you to join us! If you have any questions about the trip, send a message and a phone number and I'll give you a call.

Hi, Folks- sorry to say that due to international flight cancellations by Qantas, our October trip to Japan has now moved to May 2021. The dates for that trip are Thu 6 to Tue 18. Details to come.

14/06/2020

Hi, Folks - apologies for no posts lately, but there hasn't been much to report, for obvious reasons! At this stage, I have two tours in the pipeline - Japan in October 2020 and Ireland/Scotland in July/August 2021. The October trip will be dependent on easing of travel restrictions which as yet have not occurred so it's still up in the air. The next trip to Japan would be in April 2021, all going well.
