Grand Journey

Japan&#39;s capital, Tokyo, and its bustling port of Yokohama form a vast urban complex that boasts a unique combination of energy and orderliness. Fusing the vitality of a modern metropolis with the stately elegance of yesteryear, Tokyo is truly unique. From the timeless beauty of the Meiji Shrine to the glittering Ginza district and impressive Tokyo Tower, this international giant is a complex blend of East and West. Houses of wood and paper stand beside towering steel skyscrapers, while kimono-clad women stroll beside teenagers who have created a fashion all their own. The timeless Imperial Palace bears testament to Japan&#39;s enduring traditions. Despite encroaching urban development, it continues to exist in a verdant parkland of isolation. Images of the vibrant metropolis of Tokyo, which is home to more than 11 million people, will create memories of a lifetime.

The setting is superbly pretty: Shimizu sits on Suruga Bay in the shadow of Mount Fuji, whose peak is spectacularly snow-capped for some five months of the year. The small city about 120 miles south of Tokyo has much quiet charm and is a good place for relaxing walks and gentle exploration. Visit Kashi-No-Ichi fish market by the port and sample some of the choices of tuna sushi at one of the cafés here – deep Suruga Bay is a prime area for this highly prized fish. Head to the observation terrace at Nihondaira Hill to take in magnificent views of Mount Fuji. Catch a water bus to Miho island just beyond the port and enjoy its views and its renowned pine groves, complete with an enormous 650-year-old black pine. Appealing attractions near Shimizu include the Tokaido Hiroshige Art Museum, showing some of Utagawa Hiroshige&#39;s finest woodblock landscape prints, and the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha shrine, founded about 1000 years ago for protection from volcanic eruptions.

Okinawa is the southernmost of Japan&#39;s main islands and lies 500 miles beyond the archipelago. Unlike other parts of Japan, Okinawa has its own, separate history stemming from the Ryukyu Kingdom of the 15th century. The nostalgia of royalty remains to this day, as sacred temples and an imperial castle blend with imposing skyscrapers and modern freeways. Though poor in natural resources, the people of Okinawa became skillful mariners, turning the island into a thriving center of trade. Today, its unique culture combines influences from Europe, China, Japan and Southeast Asia. During World War II, Okinawa was the only location in Japan where the Allies landed. From 1945 to 1972, the island was under the control of the United States military and numerous US military bases are still active today. Beyond the modern capital of Naha lie peaceful panoramas of hills dotted with blooming bougainvillea. Due to its tropical climate, sugar cane fields, luminous seas and white beaches, Okinawa is sometimes known as Japan&#39;s Hawaii.

Explore the historic ruins of Katsuren Castle, once the stronghold of Amawari, a formidable local lord who resisted the centralization of the Ryukyu Kingdom.Designated as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites 'Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of the Ryukyus' in 2000, Katsuren Castle stands majestically on a natural cliff, its elegantly curved walls showcasing a blend of architectural strength and artistic beauty. From the castle&#39;s summit, take in panoramic views of the cobalt blue Pacific Ocean, one of Okinawa&#39;s most breathtaking vistas.The journey continues with a visit to a renowned salt factory, where the traditional salt-making process reveals the origins of this prized local product. The tour culminates at a lush botanical garden, home to the majestic Alexander palm. In mainland Japan, this species flourishes only in greenhouses, but here it thrives in abundance, creating a palm-lined avenue that is both a botanical marvel and a revered spiritual site.

Explore the historic Katsuren Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Visit a traditional salt factory and conclude at a lush botanical garden, home to the majestic Alexander palm.

While it adheres to the classic Japanese garden aesthetic, Shikina-en&#39;s architecture and distinctive flora create a garden experience that is uniquely Okinawan.

Highlights of Okinawa

The journey begins with a visit to Gangala no Tani, an ancient valley formed by the collapse of a limestone cave over hundreds of thousands of years ago. This area is of significant archaeological interest, with ongoing excavations suggesting it may have been home to the 'Minatogawa Men,' who lived here 20,000 years ago. The valley, spanning approximately 45,000 square meters, offers a one-kilometer hike through a vast, prehistoric landscape.The next destination is Sefa Utaki, part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site 'Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu.' Regarded as the most sacred place in the Ryukyu Kingdom, Sefa Utaki was believed to have been created by the deity Amamikiyo. Within the site are six sanctuaries, known as 'Ibi,' including Ufugui, Yuinchi, and Sangui, which share names with rooms in Shuri-jo (Shuri Castle), reflecting the deep connection between the castle and this revered spiritual site.
