Cultural Immersion:
Would you love to experience traditional Japanese culture up close. This could include attending a tea ceremony, trying on a kimono, eat lunch in an "ama diver" hut, ride a riksha, do a yoga class or even participating in a traditional Japanese cooking class.
Historical and natural Sites:
Japan has a rich history, so how about visiting historical sites such as castles, shrines and temples.
Personalized Experiences
Are you open to any unique experiences or activities that I recommend based on my expertise. Whether it's attending a traditional festival, watch amazing fireworks in summer, meeting local artisans, go seasonal fruit picking, shop for Japanese products..., I'm eager to create unforgettable memories during your trip.
Natural Beauty:
Japan boasts stunning natural landscapes, from snow-capped mountains to picturesque coastal towns. I'd love you to see scenic areas such as Mount Fuji(please don't ask me to climb it though), the iconic cherry blossoms of Kyoto, and the tranquil islands of Okinawa. Activities like (light) hiking, hot spring baths, horse/camel trekking are fantastic additions to the itinerary.
Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences:
While everybody is excited to see popular tourist destinations, I will give you the chance to also discover hidden gems and lesser-known attractions. Let's explore charming rural villages, scenic train rides in old SL's, visit traditional craftsmen, and local markets to get a glimpse of everyday life in Japan.
Food Safari in a Local Hood
Let's skip the tourist traps and dive into a neighborhood known for its culinary gems. From street food stalls to hidden eateries, we'll taste our way through the flavors of authentic Japan. It's a foodie adventure you won't find in any guidebook.
