Essence

Experience for yourselfthe breathtaking beauty of sakuraacross famous landmarks of Japan.Kanpai! It is the season of sakura, or cherry blossoms, and millions of people are off to a flower viewing party beneath the trees. Most say that Japan is best to visit during spring when all the usual parks and temples look even more beautiful with the flutter of sakura petals in the background.No other flower can gather a community and create an atmosphere so nostalgic like the sakura tree. The concept of sakura is about appreciating the present. In Buddhism, the lifespan of the sakura

is short like the nature of life. Samurai admired it since their life could be cut short at any moment like the sakura. It is depicted in every object in Japanese life from their kimono to their arts for its innate beauty. It is now an iconic symbol of Japan. Essence of Spring Tours will take you to all the usual highlight routes but with photogenic views of sakura. Come and marvel sceneries like Mt. Fuji, Kiyomizu Temple, and Todaiji Temple but with an essence of spring.

Legend states when Susanoo, God of Storm, terrorized Amaterasu, his sister and Sun Goddess, she hid in a cave plunging the world into darkness. The cave is called Ama-no-Iwato, the heavenly rock cave, and it exists in a small town in Kyushu called Takachiho. It is located deep in the forest of Miyazaki away from the bright lights of the city and pollution. Take the steps to uncover the mysteries of Shinto’s beloved goddess by visiting Takachiho Shrine and watch the kagura dance performance where they re-enact the legend of Amaterasu and her escape to the cave. The dramatic finale to the story ends with a dance where the cave opens, bringing sun and life to the world. Next to the shrine, take a boat ride to Takachiho gorge where you will witness gorgeous waterfalls and daunting rock formations.

Legend states when Susanoo, God of Storm, terrorized Amaterasu, his sister and Sun Goddess, she hid in a cave plunging the world into darkness. The cave is called Ama-no-Iwato, the heavenly rock cave, and it exists in a small town in Kyushu called Takachiho. It is located deep in the forest of Miyazaki away from the bright lights of the city and pollution. Take the steps to uncover the mysteries of Shinto’s beloved goddess by visiting Takachiho Shrine and watch the kagura dance performance where they re-enact the legend of Amaterasu and her escape to the cave. The dramatic finale to the story ends with a dance where the cave opens, bringing sun and life to the world. Next to the shrine, take a boat ride to Takachiho gorge where you will witness gorgeous waterfalls and daunting rock formations.

“The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.” – Hayao Miyazaki

From the sketchbook of Miyazaki, Ghibli museum was designed to bring life to his life works in the most interest-ing and creative ways possible. Deviat-ing from ordinary exhibits, he created his museum so people of al l ages can explore like lost children.

The museum is so personal that visitors may feel that they are invading personal space since Miyazaki’s personal belong-ings are on-site with his sketch books, animation cells, and art materials right next to his ashtray filled with cigarette stubs and used pencils.

The museum also features special short films that can only be seen here for a limited time. If you love Miyzaki’s work of Nausicaa, Totoro, Princess Monon-oke, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle and other classic Ghibli films, this is a must-go trip for you!

Through sad circumstances and inspiring life story, the crane origami became the international symbol of peace. It all started with a little girl name Sadako Sasaki. Ten years after the atomic bomb, she died as the result of leukemia caused by the radiation of the atomic bomb blast in Hiroshima. There is a legend in Japan, where a wish can be given if they can fold one thousand paper cranes. Her courage and determination led her to make one thousand paper cranes in hopes that it might grant her wish to recover. Through her illness, she stayed positive which aspired her classmates and others to find world peace. Sadako’s statue can be seen at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park beautifully decorated with a golden crane on top. People around the world who also wished for peace sent thousands of paper cranes in memory of her. Sadako’s story is one of many stories in the museum. This once in a lifetime visit to Hiroshima will inspire you to also take steps toward Sadako’s dream of peace.

"This is our cry. This is our prayer. 　For building peace in the world."

Dogo Onsen“The dango shop where I went was near the entrance to the tenderloin, and as the dango served there was widely known for its nice taste, I dropped in on my way back from my bath. … Since my arrival here, I had made it a part of my routine to take in the hot springs bath every day. While there was nothing in this town which compared favorably with Tokyo, the hot springs were worthy of praise. So long as I was in the town, I decided that I would have a dip every day…The bath house I patronized was a newly built three-sto-ry house, and for the patrons of the first class the house provided a bath-robe, in addition to an attendant, and the cost was only eight sen. On top of that, a maid would serve tea in a regular polite fashion…. The bath-tub, --- or the tank in this case, --- was built of granite, and measured about thirty square feet. Usually there were thirteen or fourteen

道後温泉people in the tank, but sometimes there was none. As the water came up clear to the breast, I enjoyed, for athletic purposes, swimming in the tank. I delighted in swimming in this 30-square feet tank, taking chances of the total absence of other people.” - Natsume Soseki, Botchan

A hidden gem in the outskirts of Japan, Dogo Onsen is one of the oldest hot springs which is said to be 3,000 years old. It is also the inspiration for the story of “Sen to Chihiro” (“Spirited Away”) with their unique appearance, complex building structure, and customers being gods. Japanese folklore tells stories of the healing qualities of the hot spring. The legend states that during their journey to Matsue, Sukunahikona no Mikoto, a thumb-size god, became ill. Okuni-nushi no Mikoto, patron god of Japan,

OnsenIf you want to know about Japan’s culture, you have to get under the surface and see it bare… quite literally. Soaking in an onsen, hot spring, is the best way to get to know Japan and its people. Possibly nowhere in the world appreciates a good soak in the hot waters like Japan. Young, old, wealthy, or poor can mingle in this one location breaking social barriers and getting to know people in a relaxing setting. It is often referred to as 裸の付き合い (hadaka no tsukiai or naked communion). Often foreigners are intimidated by the fact that they have to bathe

naked with others but soon realize that no one cares about your appearance or state of nakedness. They just want to appreciate the calming and power of the water. There are different types of hot springs with different herbs and minerals in the bath. Some onsen have unique features like herbal tea hot spring in Shizuoka, onsens with views of Mt. Fuji, sand and mud baths in Beppu, and an azure color of Nyuto. It is worth visiting Japan just to experience the wonderment of the onsen.

was worried and took him to a hot spring. Soon he recovered and danced on a nearby rock. The second legend tells of a white heron, egret, which had a wounded leg and was healed with the properties of the hot springs. The building has imprints of these legends: Sukunahikona’s tiny foot-print can be seen at the north entrance and heron images are etched on the ruff and other locations. The oldest record about the onsen dates back to 574-622 AD when Prince Shotoku used to partake in the waters. Actually a few Emperors, Empress, and royal family have visited and have their own exclusive facility reserved for when they visit. Come and see all these legends and stories come to life in Dogo Onsen. Have a nice bath, eat some Botchan dango, and listen to nice drum tunes on top of the building that only rings three times a day (6:00am/ 12:00pm/ 6:00pm).

Springof Accommodations The Culinary Delights

With everything from sushi to sake and ramen to green tea, Japan offers a wide selection of culinary delights. Japanese cuisine features delicate and precise techniques to create delicious works of art. As one of the top food cities in the world, Tokyo has attracted more and more culinary attention worldwide. With such increasing popularity, you are sure to have tried some variation of Japanese food, but tasting the food in its country of origin is an eye-opening experience. Each part of Japan is sure to surprise you with its delectable local cuisine using the freshest ingredients from land and sea.

Sushi & SashimiSushi is considered an accompaniment for beer and sake. All proper sushi restaurants serve their fish over rice, in which case it's called sushi, or without rice,

in which case it's called sashimi or tsukuri. There are two main types of sushi: nigiri-zushi (served on a small bed of rice - the most common variety) and maki-zushi (served in a seaweed roll).

Yakitori

TempuraTempura is a traditional Japanese dish consisting of fried vegetables, fish or shellfish dipped in dough and batter-fried in high-temperature oil.

WagashiWagashi is a traditional Japanese confectionery which is often served

with tea, especially the types made of mochi, azuki bean paste, and fruits. Wagashi is typically made from plant ingredients.

Tsukemono (Pickles)Tsukemono are Japanese preserved vegetables such as radishes, Chinese Cabbage and cucumbers pickled in salt, rice bran, or miso. By pickling for a long time, the vegetables ferment, adding a special flavor.

IzakayaAn Izakaya is the Japanese equivalent of a pub. It's a good place to visit when you want a great meal, a wide selection of food, a hearty atmo-sphere and, of course, plenty of beer and sake.

When you enter an izakaya, you are given the choice of sitting at the counter, at a table or on a tatami floor.
