For many people, hearing about the Kansai region in West Japan might conjure up images of the cityscapes of Osaka or Kyoto. But in fact, the area is also surrounded by the sea and mountains, meaning there are plenty of spots to enjoy a variety of exciting activities. The Unveiling a New Japan, Captivating Experiences project by the Japan National Tourism Organization features recommended tour routes throughout each region in Japan that can be enjoyed on a return visit. Of those routes, we will introduce you to a 5-day, 4-night course around Kyoto and Hyogo in the Kansai region and neighbouring Tottori. So, let’s check it out!
