‘Traditional & Tropical Japan’ Travel Talk
Thursday, October 01, 2020 @ 11.00 & 19.00 Dublin/London [GMT+1]
Duration: 1-Hour
Our team at Unique Japan Tours were delighted to conduct their 3rd Webinar of the season, with special guest speakers from Kyoto & Amami Ooshima in Kagoshima Prefecture (Ryukyu Islands). This webinar will give you a colourful insight into everyday life in Kyoto explained by a local. Tetsuya-san will give you a summary of the history, best places to see depending on the season, and a taste of what you can expect while visiting this magnificent Unesco World Heritage city. Our local guide in Amami Ooshima, one of our favourite Ryukyu Islands located in the Pacific Ocean, (not too far from Okinawa) will pop in to say hello. Amami Ooshima is a tropical paradise famous for its unspoilt nature, tropical rain forests, magnificent clear blue seas/skies/beaches, and sumptuous fresh food. Being just a 2.5 hour flight from the mainland (Tokyo or Osaka), it is the perfect way to add peace and tranquility to your trip of a lifetime in Japan. Other islands to be discussed by UJT members will be Ishigaki & Taketomijima, two additional tropical paradises on the Ryukyu chain of islands.
