Discover the Heart of Kansai: Kyoto, Osaka and Hyogo
https://youtu.be/UYINRBuiRws
The Kansai region is often called the cultural heart of Japan, and with good reason. Just a short train ride can take you from historic temples to dazzling cityscapes and even a scenic coastline. Let’s explore three unforgettable prefectures — Kyoto, Osaka and Hyogo
Kyoto
Step into tradition in Kyoto, home to over 1,000 temples and shrines. Walk through the endless red gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha, admire the golden glow of Kinkaku-ji, and experience the timeless charm of tea houses in Gion.
Osaka
Known as “Japan’s Kitchen”, Osaka invites you to feast on takoyaki and okonomiyaki along lively Dotonbori. With the energy of Universal Studios Japan and the welcoming spirit of its people, Osaka is where fun, flavor, and friendliness meet.
Hyogo
From the majestic Himeji Castle, Japan’s most spectacular samurai stronghold, to the healing waters of Arima Onsen, Hyogo is a treasure trove of history and relaxation. Don’t miss Kobe, famous worldwide for its marbled Kobe beef and beautiful harbor views.
Together, Kyoto, Osaka and Hyogo form the soul of Kansai — where the past and present of Japan blend beautifully.

Discover Japan’s Heartland: Shiga, Nara, Mie & Wakayama
https://youtu.be/nNulYUV82Pw

From this week (Australia 6pm EST & NZ 8pm from 30th August), we take you on a journey through the Kansai region, where history, nature, and culture come alive.

Shiga Prefecture – At the centre lies Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest lake, a sparkling jewel surrounded by mountains and historic towns. Visitors can cruise its calm waters, cycle along scenic trails, or explore Hikone Castle, one of Japan’s national treasures. Shiga blends natural beauty with centuries of heritage.

Nara Prefecture – Known as the cradle of Japanese culture, Nara invites travellers to step back into the origins of Japan. The friendly deer roaming freely in Nara Park welcome guests, while the Great Buddha at Todai-ji Temple offers a profound sense of peace. Nara is a place where history feels alive at every corner.

Mie Prefecture – Here, the spirit of tradition meets the sea. The revered Ise Grand Shrine is considered the most sacred Shinto shrine in Japan. Along the rugged coastline, visitors can witness the fascinating Ama divers, women who have harvested pearls for centuries. Mie also delights the palate with Matsusaka beef, one of Japan’s finest.

Wakayama Prefecture – A land of spiritual journeys and coastal beauty. Pilgrims and travellers alike are drawn to the Kumano Kodo, ancient trails that wind through forests and sacred sites, now a UNESCO World Heritage treasure. Along the coast, the onsen town of Shirahama offers relaxation, while the fresh tuna of Katsuura delights food lovers.

Together, these four prefectures capture the essence of Japan—where nature, culture, and tradition create unforgettable experiences.
