Charms of Southern Japan - Cherry Blossom Special Tour 2014 |
Deluxe Series |
 |
"Sakura," or cherry blossom, is a well-
known and prevalent symbol
of Japan. It is often depicted on traditional
Japanese goods and art. The
cherry blossom is particularly important in
Japanese culture as it represents
the end of winter and the beginning of new life
and the growing season
of spring. In southern Japan, cherry blossoms
bloom as early as the end
of March. This tour is designed to take advantage
of this phenomenon and
allows you to experience the world famous Japanese
tradition of hanami,
or cherry blossom viewing.
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 the photogenic canal area of Kurashiki.
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 Hotel 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 gardens are famous in
Takamatsu.
End your tour with a taste of the world famous
Wagyu beef in
Kobe.
