- "Fluffy" excursions
Japan is a state, on the one hand, very close to Russia, but this is only territorially. As for the ancient traditions, modern technologies, and the way of life of the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun - all this strikingly distinguishes the Japanese from the Russians. Therefore, there is a mutual interest on the part of the Japanese towards us, and on our part - a passionate desire to visit this country and if not live there for some time, then at least become a member of some interesting excursion in Japan.
After all, most Russian tourists have not yet been able to get to know Japan, the only exceptions are residents of the Far East. That is why unprepared travelers who have decided to go from Moscow to Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka do not always have a clear idea of where to go and what sights to see first.
Excursions in Japan are very diverse. Some allow you to touch the antiquity, others - to immerse yourself in the world of technology and communicate with funny robots. As for historical sites, the answer to this question is obvious: you need to visit Japanese shrines.
If you are lucky enough to catch the cherry blossoms, then this is one of the symbols of the country. A walk under this rare variety of cherries is an extraordinary beautiful sight. And it looks more convincing and beautiful not at all from the TV screen, but when you are among the flying pink petals.
Old and new capitals
At other times, you can visit Tokyo sightseeing tours to start. These include a visit to Ginza. You will also visit other popular places in the city. As a rule, many excursions in the capital are not limited to Tokyo alone, and you will be invited to visit the ancient city of Kyoto. There you can stroll around the famous Gion quarter, feel the atmosphere of the old capital. But the most interesting from the point of view of studying the shrines will be a trip to the slopes of Mount Fuji. This is not only a sacred mountain, it is a real symbol of Japan. Only after visiting its foot, you can feel all its greatness.
The cost of sightseeing tours in Tokyo can vary: from $ 100 to $ 400 - daytime; evening tours can cost over $ 500. But a visit to Kyoto can be well within $ 200. However, you can take a short excursion around the modern Japanese capital for about $ 80 if you need to save money for other trips around the country.
Tokyo Bay
You can sail along this bay all day on an excursion boat and get a lot of interesting information and impressions from such a trip. Here, it seems, was the whole history of Japan since the time of the samurai. If desired, such a walk can be made more extended by including a beach vacation. Well, they will take care of the kebabs in any case, because the program is for the whole day, and not to taste food in nature, when there is so much greenery along the banks, is a crime against oneself.
The main purpose of such an excursion is unforgettable views of the coast. This trip can be compared to a river cruise. Such an excursion is not cheap, it can cost half a thousand dollars, but it's worth it!
"Fluffy" excursions
The reverent attitude of the Japanese towards four-legged friends has been known for a long time. Therefore, only in such a country can you get on two excursions at once - to the kingdom of foxes and cats. The foxes chose the village of Dzao Kitsune Mura, which is a nature reserve, and the cats - the island. You can reach the fox village by a bullet train, but you will have to get to the cats not only by train, but also by ferry.
All animals living in these reserves are well-groomed, vaccinated, they are allowed to be stroked and fed - of course, for an additional fee. Fox food, for example, needs to be bought on purpose. And if you pay more, then you will be given to hold in your hands a live chanterelle, which is specially tamed for this.
Cats live on the island of Tashirojima, there are more of them than people. Fluffy beggars immediately appear as soon as they smell tourists who can feed them with something. The behavior of baleen inhabitants is predictable for many tourists, but foxes as pets are exotic.
Nevertheless, the fluffy beauties living in the village of foxes are accustomed to humans, they are the same beggars as domestic dogs, and are just as affectionate. Teasing foxes is also not worth it, they can show aggression, like a domestic dog, if you do the same with it.
The cost of excursions depends on the program. If you are taken only to the foxes, then it often happens with a trip to the thermal springs and with an overnight stay in a hotel. If the excursion includes Fox Village and Cat Island, then for a group it can cost more than $ 3,000. Against this background, a visit to the wisteria park looks modest, and even if there you need to communicate not with the fauna, but with the flora, it will cost $ 400 per group.
