A trip to Investigate why the Nikko Toshogu was built gorgeously as such!
Tokyo
11 hours 20 min
Nikko is renowned for its complex of shrines and temples that exhibit a high degree of artistic and architectural excellence, which leads to its inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. In fact, Nikko has been a center of Shinto and Buddhist mountain worship for many centuries. I would like to explore the excellence of The Toshogu Shrine, which is the symbol of the Tokugawa period (1603 - 1867), from these Japanese cultural, spiritual and historical points of view.

Tour of Toei Uzumasa Studio Park
Kyoto
4 hours
(Highlights) You can experience a "time travel" to and enjoy the atmosphere of the Edo period (1603-1867) of Japan in this theme park, otherwise known as the "Hollywood of Japan". There are many houses and structures mostly made of wood that were in use in Japan`s feudal ages: ordinary houses, "Ninjya house", haunted house, sake merchant`s shop, old-fashioned restaurants, and so on. Samurai walk on the streets and there are "chambara" performances in which a couple of Samurai fight with a mock sword against each other. You can spend a good part of your day just strolling on the unpaved streets between buildings, while being amazed at how minutely Japan`s former period is reproduced. You have no worries about eating: there is a large restaurant just inside the entrance of the park and other smaller, old-fashioned ones nearby. It`s hard to describe what the park is all about in this column.To see is to believe. Just visit the place. You can enjoy seeing buildings and structures that may appear in the Japanese Samurai movies and you can also take part in the "chambara" mock-sword fighing. You can immerse yourself in the Edo period atmosphere and meet Samurai. You can imagine how the Edo period was like. Above all, just visit the theme park and see whatever you can. (How to enjoy) No word is necessary. Just go and see the theme park. It may be fun to talk to "Samurai" who stand at the entrances of some of the buildings. Or, you may be able to remember the scenes of a "Samurai" drama that was once put on the air on Japanese TV networks. (Others) The train fare is 200 yen and the entrance fee is 2,200 yen.

Hidden Gems of Kyoto covered with greenery world

Sometimes you had better choose the day when you visit somewhere when you travel. Some places are opened to public or not, depending on the day or certain period. Ruriko-in is opened to public during only three months in spring and two months in autumn. You will be amazed at the beautiful reflection of green maple leaves on the table. Then we will enjoy visiting Sanzen-in and Hosen-in in Ohara. I recommend you visit on weekdays to avoid waiting for a long time in the long line at Ruriko-in.
