The same local team that plans pilgrimages also arranges study tours, association and incentive travel, cruise shore excursions and ground handling for overseas operators.
Floraison Tour is the travel division of Floraison Co., Ltd., a registered travel agency based in Osaka with a Kyushu office in Nagasaki city. Our work is receptive: we arrange programmes in Nagasaki and Kyushu for groups that come from abroad.
We do not publish packaged tours with dates and prices. Each programme is designed for one group from its brief, quoted as a whole and confirmed in writing before anything is booked. Our coordinator Akiko Kawashima (Director / Nagasaki-based Coordinator) works in English from the first enquiry to the last transfer.
Shore programmes at Nagasaki and other Kyushu ports for cruise lines, port agents and private charters: coaches, guides, timed returns to the ship. Our coordinator has worked on cruise-port reception in Nagasaki.
Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Kagoshima, Oita: craft and pottery towns, hot springs, food, volcanic landscapes. Combined with Nagasaki or as a stand-alone programme.
Tell us who is travelling, roughly when, for how long, and what matters most — sites, Mass, pace, budget range.
We reply with questions and a first outline: which sites fit the dates and the group, where the constraints are.
A day-by-day itinerary with hotels, transport, Mass venues and a quotation for the group.
Two or three rounds of changes are usual. We hold key services provisionally where we can.
Written confirmation, deposit and travel conditions. We then submit church applications and finalise ferries and hotels.
Coordinator contact from arrival to departure; guides and drivers briefed on your programme.
No. Everything on this site is arranged to order for a specific group. We prepare a proposal and quotation for your brief; nothing is booked until you confirm it in writing.
Parishes, dioceses and religious communities organising pilgrimages; tour operators and travel agents who need a local partner in Kyushu; schools, cultural and professional associations; and private groups of 10 to 40 people.
Nagasaki Prefecture is our base and specialism, including the Goto Islands, Hirado and Sotome. We also arrange programmes across Kyushu — Fukuoka, Kumamoto and Amakusa, Unzen and Shimabara, Oita and Kagoshima.
Yes. We arrange licensed English-speaking guides for the full programme or for specific days. Our coordinator communicates with you in English throughout.
Yes. We regularly provide ground arrangements for operators who handle flights and sales themselves: coaches, ferries, hotels, meals, guides, church visit applications and on-the-ground support.
For pilgrimage groups, 8 to 12 months before travel is comfortable; church visit applications open six months ahead and hotels on the islands are few. Shorter lead times are possible depending on the season.
We aim to acknowledge every enquiry within 2 business days and to send a first proposal within one to two weeks, depending on complexity.
Yes. Floraison Co., Ltd. is registered as a travel agency with the Osaka Prefectural Government (Osaka Governor Registered Travel Agency No. 3-3120 (Type 3)).
