Journeys of Discovery

A Land of Nature, Art, Beauty, and Culture

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.

An Ancient Hub for Modern Times

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.

Mountains and Fields Painted with Local Color

From the soil of Niseko comes the rich bounty of the region. A land of fields and farmers framed by the mountain and blue sky, there are a myriad of activities, locations, and dishes to connect visitors with the culture and beauty of the area.
