It is located deep in the forest of Miyazaki away from the bright lights of the city and pollution. Take the steps to uncover the mysteries of Shinto’s beloved goddess by

An important element of Japanese festivals is processions, in which the local shrines’ kami (Shinto deity) is carried through the town in mikoshi.

KUMAMOTOIt is the only time of the year when the kami leaves the shrine.

Tour Highlights

Soba Soba noodles are native Japanese noodles made of buckwheat flour (soba-ko) and wheat flour (komugi-ko).

They are roughly as thick as spaghetti, and prepared in various hot and cold dishes. The most basic soba dish is zaru soba in which boiled, cold soba noodles are eaten with a soy based dipping sauce (tsuyu).

Culture

Slurping Noodles Shirakawago

Takayama Festival

Matsumoto Castle

Slurping noodles is encouraged in Japan. Whether its ramen or soba, slurping is thought to enhance the flavor by adding just enough air. In fact, not slurping might be taken as rude and that you didn’t enjoy the meal.

千羽鶴

The Thousand Paper Cranes "This is our cry. This is our prayer.

For building peace in the world."

Sadako’s memorial

SENBA SENBA ZURU ZURU

Through sad circumstances and inspiring life story, the crane origami became the international symbol of peace. It all started with a little girl name Sadako Sasaki. Ten years after the atomic bomb, she died as the result of leukemia caused by the radiation of the atomic bomb blast in Hiroshima. There is a legend in Japan, where a wish can be given if they can fold one thousand paper cranes. Her courage and determination led her to make one thousand paper cranes in hopes that it might grant her wish to recover. Through her illness, she stayed positive which aspired her classmates and others to find world peace. Sadako’s statue can be seen at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park beautifully decorated with a golden crane on top. People around the world who also wished for peace sent thousands of paper cranes in memory of her. Sadako’s story is one of many stories in the museum. This once in a lifetime visit to Hiroshima will inspire you to also take steps toward Sadako’s dream of peace.

Saginoyu Ryokan(Nagano)

Onsen 温泉 If you want to know about Japan’s culture, you have to get under the surface and see it bare… quite literally. Soaking in an onsen, hot spring, is the best way to get to know Japan and its people. Possibly nowhere in the world appreciates a good soak in the hot waters like Japan. Young, old, wealthy, or poor can mingle in this one location breaking social barriers and getting to know people in a relaxing setting. It is often referred to as 裸の付き合い (hadaka no tsukiai or naked

communion). Often foreigners are intimidated by the fact that they have to bathe

naked with others but soon realize that no one cares about your appearance or state of nakedness. They just want to appreciate the calming and power of the water. There are different types of hot springs with different herbs and minerals in the bath. Some onsen have unique features like herbal tea hot spring in Shizuoka, onsens with views of Mt. Fuji, sand and mud baths in Beppu, and an

Each part of Japan is sure to surprise you with its delectable local cuisine using the freshest ingredients from land and sea.

Sushi & Sashimi

Sushi is considered an accompaniment for beer and sake. All proper sushi restaurants serve their fish over rice, in which case it's called sushi, or without rice, in which case it's called sashimi or tsukuri. There are two main types of sushi: nigiri-zushi (served on a small bed of rice - the most common variety) and maki-zushi (served in a seaweed roll).

Izakaya An Izakaya is the Japanese equivalent of a pub.

It's a good place to visit when you want a great meal, a wide selection of food, a hearty atmosphere and, of course, plenty of beer and sake.

When you enter an izakaya, you are given the choice of sitting at the counter, at a table or on a tatami floor.

Tsukemono (Pickles)

Yakitori Yakitori are barbecued chicken meat, giblets, and leek on a skewer, seasoned with tare(sauce) or salt. It is a popular after-work meal and a great appetizer.

Tempura

Tsukemono are Japanese preserved vegetables such as radishes, Chinese Cabbage and cucumbers pickled in salt, rice bran, or miso. By pickling for a long time, the vegetables ferment, adding a special flavor.

Tempura is a traditional Japanese dish consisting of fried vegetables, fish or shellfish dipped in dough and batter-fried in high-temperature oil.

Wagashi Wagashi is a traditional Japanese confectionery which is often served with tea, especially the types made of mochi, azuki bean paste, and fruits.

Wagashi is typically made from plant ingredients.
