In this issue, we have put together the best experiences we had in Japan. You will find how we discovered the unique world of geishas, sumos and samurai. Join us in a traditional tea ceremony to discover the rituals behind the preparation of matcha tea. We also invite you to come with us, as we discover the Japanese Alps, where many lost villages have kept their typical architecture. This issue is also a trip to the luscious gastronomic world of Japan: sushi, kobe, soba or tempura, you chose! And of course, we will show you how to explore Tokyo and Kyoto on your own, which neighbourhoods to visit and what to do. In the end of the day, we will take you to the Japanese hot springs, so that you too can indulge in the pleasures of Japanese onsen. We guarantee, this issue reveals a country that you did not know!
Japan is known for its strong geological activity because of its location along the Ring of Fire, an area of high volcanic activity. For that reason, there are more than 28,000 hot springs in Japan and Japanese find a special allure in open air hot springs. There are several ways of experiencing Onsen (hot springs), but visiting an Onsen village is probably the best one. Here you can enjoy foot baths, or indulge full body and soul in the pleasures of hot spas, enjoying a relaxing moment amidst nature. For a more intimate experience, you can treat yourself to a private Onsen, folllowed by a unique stay in a ryokan (tradition lodging) for the perfect Japanese experience. The fun part is that you will stroll around the onsen village just like a local, wearing a yukata and enjoying it very much!
Come with us and indulge in the pleasures of hot springs in Japan. Or else, you can read more about Japanese Onsen in our magazine about Japan ➜
