Incredible and to think the company had other tours going on at the same time. The country has four distinct seasons, each with its own appeal, and when planning trips to Japan it’s best to pick the one that excites you best. Then I began to study Japanese and properly prepared for the second trip, it was more interesting because I could enjoy many other things that required a common communication skill even though I didn’t go around much this time.
The Taste of Japan Guided Tour is great for first time visitors to see the sights of Japan in an efficient 9 day tour. We conclude the day with a visit to Daitoku-ji, a large complex of Zen temples with prayer halls, religious structures and 23 sub-temples with some of the most exquisite gardens in Kyoto, some quite small, including raked gravel gardens and, in the Daisen-in, one of the most celebrated small rock gardens in Japan.
Hiroshima, a modern city on Japan’s Honshu Island, was largely destroyed by an atomic bomb during World War II. Today, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park commemorates the 1945 event. It’s all encased in a vibrant cover, compelling each visitor to turn the pages and explore Japan’s sublime mix of ancient tradition and the ultra modern.
