 Charms of
Southern Japan
This tour is an excellent way to discover the
culture and landscape of Japan, with visits to
national parks, gardens and "must see" sights of
Southern Japan.
Start your trip at Himeji and proceed to
Kurashiki for a little sake tasting. Next is
Hiroshima and a visit at the Peace Memorial Museum
and Park. Learn to make Okonomiyaki (popular
Japanese dish) and view the famed "floating" Torii
Gate of Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island.
On the island of Kyushu, walk around the
crater's edge of Mt. Aso, an active volcano that
erupted just a few years ago. In Nagasaki , visit
Oura Church, Glover Garden and the Peace Memorial
Park . In Beppu, view the Jigoku "hell" pools of
bubbling waters and geysers scattered across the
town. Stay two nights at a traditional Japanese
Onsen Ryokan and relax in the therapeutic waters
of a natural spa bath at an onsen. Enjoy the fine
flavors of a traditional Japanese banquet dinner
and take an evening stroll dressed in your yukata.
Immerse yourself in Japanese culture while
surrounded by the charm and picturesque
architecture of exquisite wooden buildings, shoji
sliding paper doors, tatami mat floors, and
courtyard gardens. From Kyushu, take a ferry to
Shikoku Island and go on a very special boat ride
down the Yoshino-gawa River. See why Japanese
