In Tokyo, taking the Toden Arakawa Line is a unique experience that gives you a glimpse of old Tokyo, with various stops and locations along the line that are worth exploring further. Kagoshima is a great side trip to take when visiting Tokyo and accessible via an about 2-hour direct flight. Kagoshima city, while much smaller than Tokyo, is full of character and quirk and has much to offer especially in terms of its natural beauty. A visit to Sakurajima is not to be missed, and if you have the time, a ride on the train to Ibusuki for its hot sand baths will truly delight.

The "Feel the Earth" tour allows you to truly appreciate the deep role that nature has with Japanese people and culture first hand. It's a relatively calm and scenic tour suitable for people of all ages and especially families who would like something a little less hectic from Tokyo, as well as able to enjoy what the earth has to offer you in Japan.

I had an incredible time in Tokyo and Oita and would recommend it to anyone looking for a holiday that’s culturally fascinating, naturally beautiful and unlike anything else I’ve ever done!

This tour offers fascinating insights into Japanese history, culture and cuisine, some of which are unique to the location.

Let's embark on a trip of discovery and surprise, of Japanese artisanal products.
On this trip, we visited the dynamic city of Tokyo, and Saga Prefecture with its calm and gentle atmosphere.

I spent three days in Saga Prefecture, Kyushu, on this trip. This region offers a wealth of rich culture such as artistic ceramics. I took a trip to the most beautiful area I have ever been to in my life, observing the work of ceramics artisans and visiting a traditional Japanese home that has been designated as an Important Cultural Property.

This was my first trip to Tokyo. Tokyo is a city that is both traditional and modern at the same time, and I really liked it. I even thought about living here and taking photographs. In Nagasaki, I was moved by the history of its atomic bombing, and got a taste of nature on the Shimabara Peninsula of Kyushu.

This itinerary is perfect for those who are interested in Japanese history and traditional culture (shrines and temples, geisha…), and particularly those with an interest in the history of Nagasaki (the history of Christianity in Japan, the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum...).

In Japan, I made many (re)discoveries through traditional culture and modern culture. I was particularly impressed by the grand natural scenery and delicious Japanese cuisine I experienced in Kumamoto.

I was looking forward to that tour as I love Kumamoto area and shitamachi in Tokyo so basically, it is everything I love!

When in Tokyo, the waterbus is always a good way to explore Tokyo—esprcially for first-time visitors, as there's always so much to see. If, however, you want to escape hectic Tokyo and experience a different side of Japan, a trip to rural Miyazaki in Kyushu is a great idea. The palm trees, beautiful ocean and delicious food will make you fall even more in love with Japan!

This itinerary, which covers Tokyo and Miyazaki, is perfect for those visiting Japan for the first time, and for those who are interested in the sights of the big city Tokyo as well as the unique nature and history of Miyazaki. Because of the vivid contrast in the appeal of the two cities, it is especially recommended for travelers who enjoy exploration and those who are nature-lovers.

My tour of Tokyo showed me a completely unique and different side to the city full of new places to discover which I hadn't previously thought about visiting. It's always nice to explore and discover new and exciting destinations. My tour of the Fukuoka was very local Japanese and authentic, and full of surprises. It's a tour that I would highly recommend to my friends and readers.

A compelling tour with a fascinating mix of activities, this is a trip that comes highly recommended. From the hustle and bustle of Tokyo to the grand castle town of Kokura and the calming waters of Yanagawa, there is so much to see and do, just make sure you have some comfortable walking shoes.
