Experiencing Japanese cuisine culture is one of the great pleasures and treasures of traveling. Japanese food and culture is inextricably entwined and has been created by the various factors of each region such as natural features, landscape, local climate and geography, farming practices and specializations as well as historical influences. Therefore, there are many unique and special flavors to savor in each local cuisine and every authentic Japanese meal. We visit various kinds of restaurants and eating establishments to share the experience of enjoying their meals and the standards of their service.     Eel restaurant, in Yanagawa, Fukuoka-prefecture   Food stalls, Hakata ramen Yatai, Fukuoka-city, Fukuoka-prefecture Food stalls “Yatai” is one thing to enjoy in Fukuoka. Despite a decline in recent year, there are said to be more than 160. The food stalls have all kind of food, but you have to try Hakata ramen, usually made with white soup from pork bone and thin noodles. When you order, you can specify noodle texture, such as yawa, meaning “soft”, or bari-kata, meaning  “very hard”.

  Exciting scenery created by the raging waves of the Hyuga Sea.  The coastline here is a ria coastline, marked by intricate waterways sandwiched between steep cliffs. The cliffs reach 70 meters in height, and the sight of waves crashing against them is truly spectacular. The bare rock faces of the cliffs feature columnar joints, which were formed when magma from a volcanic eruption cooled and hardened. The name “Umagase” is thought to come from the fact that the  color of the rocks resembles that of a horse’s back.

  Where your wishes come true. The Sea of Cruz is a coastal area that appears to form a cross when viewed from the observatory. This cape is part of a ria coastline; the “cross shape” was created by the narrow terrain being eroded by the sea and rivers, resulting in a cross-shaped waterway. Because this shape resembles the Japanese kanji character “叶” (meaning “to grant a wish”), it is widely believed that if you make a wish here, it will be granted

  Hiraodai Karst Plateau & Caves is located in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is one of the three largest karst plateaus in Japan, situated at altitudes between 400 and 600 meters above sea level. The plateau stretches 6 km from north to south and 2 km from east to west.     Yougunbaru was so named because the limestone rocks scattered across the vast meadow resemble a flock of sheep. Along with dolines (conical hollows) and limestone caves, they create a truly distinctive landscape. The plateau offers a unique view in each of the four seasons: the dramatic “burnt field” (Yamayaki) in spring, fresh and vibrant greenery in early summer, and the serene, dry plains of autumn.     Limestone Caves There are three main limestone caves in the Hiraodai Karst Plateau, each offering its own unique features. Among them, the Senbutsu Limestone Cave is the most prominent.

Takezaki crabs are available almost year around. From summer into fall the male crabs are delicious, with the females and their eggs most delicious during the autumn and winter. You could even try one of each.     You can enjoy this wide variety of crab dishes including fried crab, grilled crab, crab dumplings, crab chawanmushi (a Japanese egg custard dish), stir-fried crab, creamy crab risotto, crab gratin, and steamed crab. The crabmeat gives you sweetness with every bite. The best way to end a nice steamed crab is with “shell sake,” where you drink sake from the crab shell. You should try this with hot sake, which lets you enjoy the crab flavor more and warms your body.         Home  Customized Private tour   Christian Pilgrimage tour　Golf tour   What our Customers have to say       About us   Contact us  Terms and Conditions   Privacy …
