The lesser-known side of Kyoto is a place of quaint fishing towns, quiet beaches, and gently flowing waters. A perfect get-a-away from the bustle of city life and an ideal location to discover what small town Japan has to offer.

The Hamamatsu area has been a thriving hub since ancient times. With the green blue waters of Lake Hamana in the center, the surrounding region is an area of tea plantations, soy-sauce breweries, and traditional culture hidden amid the modern city scape.

A land not quite like anywhere else in Japan. From islands filled with modern art that challenges our conceptions, quirky Showa Era streets of cities caught in the past, ancient temple halls on secluded mountain peaks, all the way to the far reaches of the Japanese countryside hidden in the still wild Iya Valley, there are too many things to uncover on the island of Shikoku to count.

Here you may make your own bamboo bowl and enjoy a high-quality meal made with Iwakubi`s rice.

With this taxi course you will be taken deep into the tranquil Iya Valley to the beautiful Double Vine Bridges.

A tour interacting with locals centered on the waters and traditions of Mt. Kaikomagatake, where mountain worship is still practiced.
