Mount Fuji
Japan Tours – The Land of the Rising Sun
Whether it be the ancient culture or innovative endeavors, or lush landscapes and coastal scenery, the hospitality of the Japanese, or combination of it all, Japan is irresistible the world over. The ancient and modern are in such harmony that futuristic trains buzz by kimono-clad ladies, temples stand in the shadows of neon lights, and soccer players hone their skills while sumo wrestlers train nearby. Imperial Palaces, stunning castles and Shinto shrines stand alongside glass structures, skyscrapers, and apartment blocks as Giant Buddha’s look over devotees and department stores bustle with activity. From the mountains of Sapporo to the southern islands, the diversity of this land is fascinating, and combined with one of the world’s most interesting cultures, picturesque traditional villages and modern cities, we can clearly see how Japan continues to draw us in.
Description
Walk in Kyoto’s Gion District
Kyoto is Japan, and a walk through the historic Gion district is what you are looking for. Traditional teahouses and townhouses lining the streets, lanterns swaying over wooden doors, and the place most likely to spot Geiko (Geisha), Gion is a great place for a walk. Go in the early morning and have it to yourself.
Mt. Fuji
Japan’s icon, Mt. Fuji, seen either on guided tours or from your train window is on almost all travelers’ itineraries, and for good reason. Take a hike, or just visit the 5th station, Mt. Fuji is deserving of its praise.
