Japan Unmasked and the people we meet along the way…

All of our group tours go far beyond scratching the surface of Japan’s beautiful culture but the Japan Unmasked tour is truly magical. The three photos below show only a few of the adventures we had along the way…. hot springs, snow monkeys, fish markets, bike rides through the countryside, boat rides, karaoke, great food, even better beer, little mountain towns, big mountain castles, ryokans, old ladies in kimono, bullet trains, Japanese gardens, ninja temples, samurai houses, modern art museums, Japanese curry, pottery, tea ceremony, tiny back-streets lined with red lanterns, a peek in to the world of the geisha, golden temples, Zen rock gardens, wild deer roaming underneath maple trees, the famous floating torii gate…. I assure that the list could go on for quite some time.

After watching the monk's morning ceremony, we convinced a couple of them to pose with us for this picture.

These two guys had walked to Kanazawa from Hiroshima but still had plenty of energy for this photo!

It may look like an innocent last night dinner but this we are actually warming up with a few drinks for a legendary night of karaoke!
