3-DAY (2 NIGHTS). NORTHERN HERITAGE
Tohoku (Northern Japan) is less industrialized, agricultural area. In the 11th century the Fujiwara clan operated a strong local government independent from the Kyoto's aristocratic central power. The three generations of Fujiwaras nurtured a level of culture comparable to that of Kyoto, and unequaled by any other local area. You will visit Konjikido (Golden Hall) of Chusonji Temple, one of Japan's best historic and cultural legacies. The 4th leader of the Fujiwaras was defeated by the first shogun of Minamoto clan in 1189, and the 100-year long prosperity of the north disappeared, never to return. Fujiwara-no-sato historic theme park features the reconstruction of the 11th-12th centuries glories. You will enjoy sightseeing tour of the area by chartered car. A driver may speak little English, but he will escort you to the places of interest. Because Tohoku is the true off-the-beaten path this is the only method of worry-free travel of the area for foreign visitors. You will experience Japanese lifestyle, delicious cuisine featuring local specialties and fresh seafood, and northern hospitality in Hanamaki Onsen hot springs resort.
