Japan Luxury@Night Experience (Tokyo &
Kyoto)
Tokyo - The center of the third largest economy in the
world is a place where you can experience Japanese tradition even while
shopping for some of the highest-quality hi-tech products, anywhere.
Kyoto has a history of the imperial capital as well as
the country’s center of culture from 794 until 1867. Many aspects seen
as the core traditions of Japanese culture, such as the tea ceremony,
flower arrangement, and kaiseki cuisine, originate this city that
remains a spiritual home for all Japanese.
Before Kyoto, the imperial court was located in Nara,
the first formal capital of
Japan. Nara is
still home to many important cultural treasures, including the Great
Buddha of Todai-ji Temple, forged during the height of the city’s glory
over 1300 years ago. These two ancient cities are also home to many
UNESCO World Heritage sites.
