Highlights

Explore the unique island of Naoshima – transformed from a sleepy fishing community into a world-class art destination, with sleek and stylish museums and artworks that harmonise with the landscape.

Stay in a countryside homestay, taking you off the beaten track to experience excellent Japanese hospitality. Feast on home-cooked meals over fascinating conversations with your welcoming hosts and learn about rural life in Japan.

Watch the steam coming out of the ‘hells’ (hot spring pools in Jigoku) of Beppu. Enjoy a local lunch, cooked in the unique local way – you’ll steam your food in the hot spring water, creating authentic flavours rich with healthy minerals! And followed by a relaxing soak in the local onsen if you wish!

Take in the stunning view of the five peaks of Mount Aso from the Daikanbo Observatory, then a light hike on the moon-like terrain to the largest crater of Nakadake.

Expect the unexpected in Nagasaki, tragically famous for being one of the only two cities that were bombed during the war. Discover the unique charm of this port-side Dutch influenced city and all the history it has collected over the years.

What's Excluded

Itinerary

Southern Japan’s hidden gems beckon on this 12-day guided tour, starting and ending in Osaka. Journey beyond the usual routes to explore Yakushima’s ancient forests, the artistic enclave of Naoshima, and Matsuyama’s storied castle. This city sightseeing trip offers travelers a captivating blend of modern art, traditional countryside, and immersive cultural experiences. Enjoy a tranquil homestay in Usuki village and rejuvenate in Beppu’s famous steamy onsens. Spend a night at Mt Aso, nestled in a volcanic caldera surrounded by lush rice terraces, before visiting the moving Peace Park in Nagasaki. Return to vibrant Osaka, enriched by the unique combination of bullet train journeys, rural escapes, and delectable local feasts. A highlight of this tour package is its exclusive access to less-touristed southern regions, providing an insider’s perspective on Japan’s evolving arts, natural beauty, and time-honored traditions—a perfect adventure for those seeking a fresh take on Japanese travel.
