The purpose of these trips is to introduce new, unique places in Japan to promote trips there. The familiarization trip (or &#8220;famtrip&#8221;) we joined took us from Okayama and Kurashiki, down into Tokushima, to Shodoshima and finally to Himeji.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>Of course, we knew most of these places already, and we&#8217;ve sent many of our clients to these places to. But we always want to learn more, look deeper and see what&#8217;s new and exciting. Over the next few blog posts, we&#8217;re going to explore the areas we visited, introduce them to you, and share our pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we&#8217;re just going to give a brief overview of the tour. First off, we&#8217;d like to extend our sincerest thanks to the JNTO for organizing and inviting us on this FamTrip. It was a lovely trip, we enjoyed it, and most importantly, we learned a lot and can&#8217;t wait to incorporate it into our tours!<br \/><a name='more'><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Okayama &amp; Kurashiki<\/h4>\n<p>We visited the beautiful Korakuen garden and Kurashiki historical area.<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-FEVlRG4Hsc4\/VhT5-PaQHWI\/AAAAAAAAAaI\/GRrscxbaHWs\/s1600\/Unique%2BJapan%2BTours%2BKenrokuen%2BGarden%2BVista.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.oomitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/UniqueJapanToursKenrokuenGardenVista-3.jpg\" width=\"320\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 320px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 320\/240;\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oomitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/UniqueJapanToursKenrokuenGardenVista-3.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.oomitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/UniqueJapanToursKenrokuenGardenVista-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"color: #666666;\">Korakuen Garden is stunningly beautiful<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-2fkZ5QbzEbM\/VhT58Yny2HI\/AAAAAAAAAZ0\/osAmWCXYJ8w\/s1600\/Unique%2BJapan%2BTours%2BKenrokuen%2BGarden%2BOkayama%2BCastle.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.oomitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/UniqueJapanToursKenrokuenGardenOkayamaCastle-3.jpg\" width=\"320\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 320px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 320\/240;\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oomitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/UniqueJapanToursKenrokuenGardenOkayamaCastle-3.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.oomitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/UniqueJapanToursKenrokuenGardenOkayamaCastle-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"color: #666666;\">Okayama Castle is visible from Korakuen Garden<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-S9nM1nO6yNk\/VhUERI069aI\/AAAAAAAAAbA\/8Sbn4KLtcqU\/s1600\/Unique%2BJapan%2BTours%2BKurashiki%2BCanal%2BDistrict%2BNight%2BStreet.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.oomitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/UniqueJapanToursKurashikiCanalDistrictNightStreet-2.jpg\" width=\"320\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 320px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 320\/240;\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oomitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/UniqueJapanToursKurashikiCanalDistrictNightStreet-2.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.oomitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/UniqueJapanToursKurashikiCanalDistrictNightStreet-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"color: #666666;\">Kurashiki canal district is beautiful at night<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4>Shikoku<\/h4>\n<p>After staying overnight in Kurashiki, we traveled down into Shikoku.

The Awa dancers usually only perform once a year at the Awa Odori, which is the second biggest dance festival in the world after Carnival.

They even have olive ice cream, and all sorts of olive oil based beauty products. Shodoshima is also home to some of the oldest soy sauce breweries in Japan, and many operate using the traditional methods. A single batch of soy sauce can take up to 5 years to produce! We also experienced making thin, traditional noodles, or somen, and finished off with a spectacular view of the whole island.<\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;
