DISCOVER ANOTHER KYOTO

(Due to the packed schedule, the Sea of Japan option will require a 1 overnight stay in one of our accommodation options)

The Sea of Japan seems to evoke images of cold, harsh seaside communities. But it is simply these strong natural elements that make the seafood from the Sea of Japan of much better quality than those of other surrounding oceans.

 

It’s relative inaccessibility has also kept the natural environment untouched by tourism. Our day trip to the Sea of Japan will take you to enjoy the fruits of sea in the day and finish off with a seafood cooking class.
