Create Your Own Unique Tours Of Japan

Japan’s rich cultural traditions have trickled from one generation to
the next, and while Japanese culture often conjures up images of
kimono clad ladies pouring cups of tea in tranquil cherry blossom
temples, there really is so much more on offer.

In Japan you can learn how to wield a sword with a samurai master,
or try your hand at calligraphy or pretend to be a geisha for a day.
Really let go and sample some raw fish or partake in a Japanese tea
ceremony.

If you really want to ‘go native’ book yourself into a Ryokan hotel
(a traditional Japanese inn)to really experience the traditional
culture and customs. Guests wear kimonos, sleep on futons laid on
the floor and take naked communal baths.At dinner time it is kneeling
down to eat traditional food and sip green tea.

The Japanese have one of the healthiest diets in the world and it
is not uncommon for the hotels to arrange a cooking class. Guests are
taken to one of the most popular sushi restaurants and under the
instruction of a grand sushi chef get to try their hand at making
the Japanese national dish, nigiri sushi (rice topped with raw fish)
and maki sushi (sushi rolled in dried seaweed).

Not as though you will need to work off any calories but if your dream
has always been to fight like a ninja then you can tackle a training
session which teaches performance and techniques. You will learn taijutsu
(unarmed body contact skills) and ninjutsu and gain a better
understanding of the ‘way of the ninja’. When you get home you will
be able to impress your family and friends with your newly acquired
stealth moves, ninja style.

All in all there are so many opportunities to create unique tours of Japan and its fabulous culture.
