Tour features
Traveling Route
Tokyo – Takayama – Kanazawa – Osaka – Mt.Koya – Kyoto – Osaka
Tokyo
Everything that you have heard about Tokyo is true – and it is not. For if ever there was a city that you could not confine to one definition, this would be it. The never-ending hustle and bustle of the city creates an energy that is quite contagious. One minute you may be elevated 450 metres above ground overlooking Tokyo’s sprawling metropolis, the next you might be cheering on two sumo wrestlers tackle each other in the sumo stadium.
Despite the presence of people and stores everywhere, there is an order that allows things to work efficiently, seemingly against the odds. Tradition and technology stand side by side in this city that can be whatever you want to make of it.
TOKYO SKYTREE
Takayama
Takayama is a delightful town in the heart of the Hida mountains,established as a castle town in the 16th century. Famous now for its old town area of narrow streets of Edo-era inns, tea houses, shops, and merchants, the town was known through the ages for the very high quality of its craftsmanship.The beauty of the shrines and temples helped give rise to its nickname of ‘Little Kyoto’. Takayama’s morning market on the bank of the Miyagawa River is famous and well worth a visit with its local farm produce, flowers and crafts. There are also some great old sake houses are keeping that local tradition going strong, and just on the outskirts of town, old farm houses from across the Hida region have been brought together and rebuilt beam by beam on a hillside in the Hida Folk Village.
Takayama, Histric town
Kyoto
Brimming with tradition, Kyoto is the ultimate destination for anybody who wants to soak up time-honoured Japanese culture. Home to 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites, over 1,600 Buddhist temples, and 400 Shinto shrines, this ancient city showcases the heart and soul of traditional Japan. Kyoto boasts an array of world-class gardens, majestic festivals and delicate cuisine, all of which make much of the rhythms of nature and the changing of the seasons. While on first glance visitors may find themselves struck more by the ubiquitous grid like structure of modern metropolitan Japan, a great part of the magic of Kyoto is in picking out its treasures: sacred shrines tucked in among shopping arcades, time-honoured teahouses nestling among modern businesses and the geisha of legend sweeping down backstreets among the tourists and souvenirs
