Come along and join us on this unique Memorial Day Holoholo Weekender tour to Kansai and Nagoya.

 

Kansai, Japan’s spiritual and cultural capital offers so much to see and do, fantastic nightlife, peaceful temples and shrines, unlimited shopping, and delicious foods. And then, a day trip to Nagoya, the birthplace of Toyota and pachinko. Known as the “middle child”, in the shadows of its older siblings, Osaka and Tokyo, Nagoya has much to offer, a cosmopolitan vibe, excellent shopping, and friendly Nagoyans.            

 

We begin with 3 nights in Kyoto, unlike any other city in Japan. There is a day trip to Ohara, an ancient farming village north of Kyoto. Nestled in the mountains, it is famous for its rural beauty and historical significance.

 

Our touring continues to Nagoya, the largest city in the Chubu region. Sit back, enjoy the bullet train ride as we are off for the day to explore some of this city’s highlights.

 

We then continue to Nara and the well-preserved Edo period town of Imaicho, founded in the 1500’s. What is special about this town is that residents are still living here, making it a living historical town. Enjoy time exploring its narrow lanes and traditional buildings. 

 

And now, off to Osaka, Japan’s 3rd most populous city. Famous for its food, eating until you drop is common in Osaka. If shopping is on your list, Shinsaibashi Suji, a favorite with local folk will not disappoint. This covered shopping arcade is one of Osaka’s oldest and busiest.

 

Our touring ends in Kobe, perched on a hillside sloping down to the sea, one of Japan's most attractive and cosmopolitan cities.

 

Come, join us on this fun-filled weekend. Yes, it’s filled with quality omiyage shopping time, traditional shopping streets, the Kyoto JR Station and Aeon Mall, and a free day in Osaka, steps from Shinsaibashi. We have also included a sake brewery, cable car ride, bullet train, and a visit to Glicopia Kobe, where you can learn and sample Glico's popular snacks like Pretz and Pocky.  

      

Accommodations for our stay in Kyoto is at Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo, across from the Kyoto JR Station and around the block from the Aeon Mall. In Osaka, we are at Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka, ideally located, a short walk from Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori.
