2 Aloha, Just returned from a fun-filled and memorable group tour to Japan. Tour members ranged in age from 8 to 89 years old. Very heart-warming to see everyone bond with each other from the moment we boarded our Hawaiian Airlines flight. Experienced the natural beauty of Miyajima Island where we overnighted at the incomparable Iwaso Inn. Enjoyed the thrilling rapids of the downstream Hozu river boat ride. And in spite of the rain, we witnessed the glorious Gion Festival yamaboko floats. Eating matsuri (festival) food was my favorite! Grilled giant squid, Hokkaido sweet corn-on-the-cob, and Yakitori (grilled chicken) just for starters! Our team has created many new tours for you to enjoy! Look forward to discovering the world with you. Mahalo for your continued support!

After lunch visit Kosanji Temple. Within the temple grounds stands a statue of Takasugi Shinsaku raising an army for the coup d etat. Mounted on a stallion, there is no trace of hesitation on his face. As the leader of Kiheitai, from this point onwards he would run non-stop through the upheaval of the Meiji Restoration. Next enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms at Tokiwa Park. ANA CROWN PLAZA HOTEL UBE. (B, L) Day 4: UBE HOFU. Sugi Fumi (later to become Miwako) is the heroine, and Odamura Inosuke (later to become Katori Motohiko) who would in the future be wed, spent their final years here in Hofu, Yamaguchi prefecture. Visit Hofu Tenmangu Shrine and its Sacred 800 year old tree. Hofu Tenmangu Shrine is known as Japan s first Tenmangu shrine, it is sacred to the god of knowledge Sugawarano Michizane. Along with Kitano Tenmangu in Kyoto and Dazaifu Tenmangu in Fukuoka, as the three gods of Japan.

Enjoy a Tea Ceremony followed by lunch. Enjoy a visit to Mouri Museum and Garden. Dinner at hotel. Tour #1: HOTEL KAMEFUKU Tour #2: UMENOYA (B, L, D) Day 5: HOFU KOZAN - HAGI. Most people come to visit the Rurikoji Temple the national treasure fivestory pagoda and leave. It s such a pity, as right behind them there is a building valuable enough to claim that without it, there would have been no Meiji Reformation! It is this building! Chinryutei. Built at the end of the Edo period, it s an invaluable structure that remains in its original form. What kind of historical events has the building witnessed? Well, it was the place where secret meetings were held between the Satsuma and Choshu alliance intermediated by Sakamoto Ryoma! It s a spot so important for the end of the Edo period and the start of the Meiji Restoration that it would be no exaggeration to say that the signal smoke for the attack to overthrow the shogunate rose from this spot! Finally we visit Joeiji Temple and the beautiful Sesshutei Garden. Dinner at hotel. HAGI GRAND HOTEL TENKUU (2 nights) (B, L, D) Day 6: HAGI. Enjoy the gorgeous cherry blossoms at the Hagi Castle Ruins. After lunch visit Shoin Shrine, Yoshida Shoin History Museum, Shiseikan & Shokason Juku. Shokason Juku is the place where Yoshida Shoin taught. The leading spirits of the Meiji Restoration such as Kusaka Genzui, Takasugi Shinsaku and Ito Hirobumi all studied here. Dinner at hotel. (B,D) Day 7: HAGI MIYAJIMA or MIYAJIMA-GUCHI. Hagi castle town has been designated as a national historical site. This is the birthplace of Takasugi Shinsaku, a key figure among the reformists. The town is crammed with spots irresistible to fans of Hana Moyu and the Meiji Restoration era. Appearing in the first episode of NHK historical drama Hana Moyu, it s a curvy zigzag road called Kaimagari. The road runs between walls of earth and stone that were apparently designed to obstruct the view during battle and to defend against enemy invasions. It s filled with an air that seems as though Yoshida Shoin or Takasugi Shinsaku might appear at any moment. Enjoy cherry blossoms at Kikko Park next to Nishiki River and next to the famous Kintai Bridge. Kikko is famous for its cherry blossom and is considered one of Japan s Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots.

At Kujukushima National Park near Sasebo in Nagasaki Prefecture, however, you can up your island quotient by taking a scenic cruise of the region s waters. The word kujuku literally means 99 but has come to refer to a vast number or something uncountable. In truth, there are 208 islands off the coast of Sasebo, the largest concentration of islands anywhere in Japan. If these islands look familiar, chalk it up to the fact that they featured prominently in the opening scenes of the film The Last Samurai. Next stop is Huis Ten Bosch (Hausu Ten Bosu) is a theme park in Nagasaki Prefecture which recreates a Dutch town. It is named after one of the residences of the Dutch Royal Family. The spacious resort is suffused with a European atmosphere with its picturesque canals, iconic windmills, beautiful gardens and architecture. Enjoy the spring time flowers.

Nowadays, Dazaifu is a small, quiet city on the outskirts of the large city of Fukuoka. There are a number of temples and shrines, the most famous of which is the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine & Komyozenji Temple. Next stop is Canal City Hakata.

Japan is a nation of many islands but most travelers never get beyond the main four. At Kujukushima National Park near Sasebo in Nagasaki Prefecture, however, you can up your island quotient by taking a scenic cruise of the region s waters. The word kujuku literally means 99 but has come to refer to a vast number or something uncountable. In truth, there are 208 islands off the coast of Sasebo, the largest concentration of islands anywhere in Japan. If these islands look familiar, chalk it up to the fact that they featured prominently in the opening scenes of the film The Last Samurai. Next stop is Huis Ten Bosch (Hausu Ten Bosu) is a theme park in Nagasaki Prefecture which recreates a Dutch town. It is named after one of the residences of the Dutch Royal Family. The spacious resort is suffused with a European atmosphere with its picturesque canals, iconic windmills, beautiful gardens and architecture. Enjoy the spring time flowers.

Above the park stands the sobering Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. After lunch, visit Glover Garden. An open air museum, exhibiting mansions of former Western residents of Nagasaki.

It is also regarded as one of the most impressive castles in Japan, together with the white-walled Himeji Castle and the black-walled Matsumoto Castle. In the Edo Period ( ), a bustling town sprawled at the foot of Kumamoto s formidable castle. Today, that town looks quite a bit different, but you can still find a taste of the old days at Sakura-no-baba Josaien, an Edo-themed complex just down the hill from Kumamoto Castle. Lunch on own. Suizenji Garden is a spacious, Japanese style landscape garden in Kumamoto, best enjoyed by scrolling along a circular path. It was built by the Hosokawa family in the 17th century.

Senganen Garden, also known as Isoteien, is a Japanese style landscape garden along the coast north of downtown Kagoshima.

There are a number of cherry trees, especially of the early flowering kanhizakura variety, which open as early as late January. Other cherry tree varieties provide flowers through mid April. After lunch make way to The Chiran Peace Museum For Kamikaze Pilots. It is a thought-provoking, and to many, a controversial museum dedicated to the lives and deaths of 1,036 suicide pilots or kamikaze, who sacrificed themselves in the name of the Japanese emperor in the latter stages of World War II. Next we visit the Samurai Residences. Arrive at Ibusuki. Ibusuki is an onsen town that is famous for its sand baths, where bathers are buried in naturally heated sand.
