The city's history can be appreciated in districts such as Asakusa and in many excellent museums, historic temples and gardens.The city is built on low, alluvial plains and adjacent upland hills. The climate is mild in winter and hot and humid in the summer. Early summer and early autumn are rainy seasons; two or three typhoons usually occur during September and October.

 

Toba is a city in Mie Prefecture, Japan. It is famous for its Shinto shrines and the port city of Toba, which guards the southern entrance to Ise Bay (Ise-wan). The bay contains many islands, and Mikimoto is renowned for its cultured pearl industry. Pearl Island in Toba Harbor is where Mikimoto Kōkichi first succeeded in producing cultured pearls.

 

It is one of the largest cities in Japan. Kochi, 2 hours and 20 minutes from Takamatsu by high-speed train, is a prefecture with rich agricultural lands and fish farms along the southern coast of Shikoku.

 

Miyazaki offers a temperate climate with mountainous and coastal landscapes. Popular tourist destinations include Takachiho, a mountain town known for its mythological significance and valley. Miyazaki City offers a wonderful balance of cultural attractions, from shrines to tourist attractions.

 

Nagasaki is a bay at the southwestern tip of the island of Kyushu. Among the city's main attractions are Sofukuji Temple, known as the Chinese Temple, the Oura Catholic Church, a national treasure, and the century-old Glover Mansion. The city is also famous for its scenery, reminiscent of the setting for Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly. Nagasaki Peace Park was designed to commemorate the exact spot where the atomic bomb was dropped on August 9, 1945, three days after the first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

 

Busan-Pusan, the second largest city in South Korea with a population of 4 million, is the third largest port in the world in terms of cargo volume. It is a historical city built in the valley of the Nakdong River. The United Nations Military Cemetery, where Turkish soldiers who were martyred during the Korean War between 1950-53 are buried, is a must-see place for us. Although the Bemosa Buddhist Temple, built in 678, is in the city, it will impress us with the mountain scenery behind it. We will be able to see the ships coming and going to the port from the 118-meter Busan Tower in Yondusan park. Jagalchi-Fish Market is a paradise for seafood lovers.
