Pass through the Torii gate into a world of contrasting harmonies. Paddle into the heart of Japan's island archipelago, and from there into a land of ancient tradition and modern accomplishment. Step back in time in the streets of Nara, the cradle of Japanese civilization and the treasure-house of Japanese arts. Relax in thermal hot springs, soaking away the rigors of each day. Awaken to a fresh start as you encounter ancient castle keeps, high-speed cross-country train rides, and traditional Japanese meals. Explore Japan, participate in the experience of adventure, and bring back memories for a life.
