Mythology tells us that the origins of the world were in Japan and the origins of Japan were in Kyushu. It is here that we begin the Japan Backroads and Hidden Gems Foliage Tour. History and legend were made here: wealthy trading posts, samurai rebels and from where the decedents of the sun goddess, Amaterasu came to the newly formed Earth.   

 

And then off to Western Honshu’s Yamaguchi Prefecture with visits to Moji, Tsunoshima, Hagi, and Iwakuni.

 

Our tour winds down in more familiar areas, visiting Miyajima Island, Hiroshima, Himeji, Kobe, and Osaka, Japan’s third largest city. Osaka’s unofficial slogan is kuidaore ('eat until you drop'), and it seems that everyone is always out for a good meal – and a good time.

 

It is truly a tour like no other, there’s history, culture, incredible mountain top views, castles, bullet train, sake brewery visits, ropeways and cable cars, and a sightseeing cruise. Get up close to kangaroos and wallabies at Hibikinada Green Park, enjoy ono foods, leisure time for shopping including a complete free day in Osaka. 

 

By the way, did we mention that its peak foliage time in the region!
