Capture visions of old Japan with Samurai and Geisha. Stroll ancient routes in villages from Tsumago to Magome, and walk through a charming Samurai castle town in Matsumoto. Visit tea houses beside ancient temples and gardens of pretty ponds and bonsai in Kanazawa and Kyoto.
Peek into the old-style merchant houses and sample crystal clear sake at distilleries along narrow streets. Get back to basics and make Washi paper and Soba noodles. Discover the traditions of festivals and folk life in Takayama. Stay in tatami rooms, eat delicate dishes, and then soak in mineral springs. Spend days drinking hot tea with tales of olden days in preserved places of Gokayama and with precious Geisha, the rare beauties of Gion.
