Hiroshima, a symbol of the utter devastation of war, was our next destination. This city continues to build its reputation today as a symbol of peace. We had time to reflect walking through Peace Memorial Park, the Atomic Bomb Dome and the very moving Peace Memorial Museum. During our two night stay here we also visited the Island of Miyajima, located just off the coast from Hiroshima it is renowned for its solitude and the Shrine of Itsukushima, built on wooden piers over the water.

Day 3 in Kyoto was a free day for everyone to explore at their leisure. We spent our last day in Kyoto visiting the magnificent Kinkaku-Ji Temple (Golden Pavilion) and World Heritage listed Tenryu-ji Temple where we enjoyed a typical Buddhist lunch. Then a walk through the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest for a moment of peace and tranquillity before travelling to our next destination, Hiroshima, by bullet train.

Day 2 in Kyoto…another day of unforgettable experiences. A morning walk along Philosopher’s Path was a tranquil start to our day. We then joined a tea master for a very special tea ceremony, learning about cha-no-yu, and living in the moment. Next was a fun lesson on the ancient art of Japanese black ink calligraphy!

During our 2-night stay in Takayama we explored the narrow streets of the beautifully preserved Old Town on foot, with heavy rain forcing us to shelter in a sake tasting brewery! We soaked up the atmosphere of the Miyagawa Open Air Market, visited the UNESCO World Heritage listed site of Shirakawa-go, enjoyed an amazing traditional lunch in a local home and made our own Japanese Washi rice paper.

Last night we stayed in the most wonderful authentic ryokan guesthouse in Hakone where we slept on traditional Japanese-style bedding made up of a futon bed on tatami mats on the floor. We had the chance to bathe in a natural onsen and enjoy a traditional Japanese dinner. Such a special experience.

Tokyo is a magnificent city that blends the past with the present, creating a unique cityscape with its modern skyscrapers, traditional temples, and beautiful gardens. Today we used the extensive subway network to explore Shibuya, home to the famous crossing, and Shinjuku where we had a sushi making lesson and ate the results for lunch!
