Let’s face it, finding time to plan an international vacation to beautiful Japan can be challenging to say the least. One major complication involves rearranging the busy daily schedule you keep; is it possible to push pause on the constant deadlines and demands of your personal and professional life? Another obstacle that can make crossing an ocean unrealistic is a budget. Purchasing airfare and booking hotels can sometimes be an expensive sacrifice for many travelers.

But what if there was a way that you could, at the drop of a hat, experience the unique beauty of Japan, without complication and at an affordable price? Believe it or not, it’s possible. All it takes is a little imagination, and a plate full of mouthwatering flavors, thanks to your friends at Chiba.

If a vacation to Japan is something you’ve always envisioned, planning a Japanese themed evening with family and friends is the perfect local getaway to the Land of the Rising Sun before a plane ticket is in hand.

Here are a few ways to make your upcoming Japanese gathering feel as authentic as possible.

Make Decor a Priority
Hosting a party with the wonders of Japan as the theme won’t be successful if it doesn’t look and feel like Japan. Surround your guests with the things they best associate with exquisite and exotic Japan. We recommend buying decor items such as lanterns and festoon lights and having cherry blossom stems serve as centerpieces.

Have a Dress Code
When you think of what appropriate attire might be to a Japanese event, chances are you think of elegant kimonos featuring stunning patterns, beautiful yukatas, and even comfortable yet fashionable slippers. Embrace that! Allow your guests to wear their bests while keeping the theme of the celebration in mind.

Consider a Tea Ceremony
If a more formal and elegant trip across the Pacific is something you had in mind, consider making your party follow the guidelines of the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony. If this is the direction you go in, have your menu consist of a variety of tea flavors, delicate sandwiches, and Japanese sweets, such as mochi balls, to pair with it.


If traveling to Japan has long been on your to-do list, but various obstacles have prevented you from taking the plunge, don’t worry.
