1Day 01
Nintoku Emperor Mausoleum Learn about the most famous Japanese Mausoleum in the country, that became a World Heritage Site in late 2019. Its story, and some weird facts. Sakai Daisen Park Ride with us through a very lovely park. Depending on the season, enjoy flowers, possibly cherry blossom, Momiji (Japanese maple leaves). Beautiful piece of nature. Sakai City Museum Enter the Sakai City Museum and learn a lot about Japanese culture and history. Discover Sakai, one very amazing city in Japan that most people do not think of visiting. Possibly, try on an old armour and take a nice pic for your friends. Local Udon or Soba Lunch Stop by Kanokawaseimen Sakaishukuinten, a casual Sanuki-style udon shop known for its freshly made noodles and generous portions. Your guide will introduce the self-service style as you choose your bowl and pair it with tempura or onigiri. It’s a quick, tasty look at everyday Japanese comfort food. Local Mochi Snack after Lunch Visit Yaogen, a historic Sakai mochi shop with over 200 years of tradition. Your guide will introduce their famous cinnamon mochi, explaining its unique flavor and history, while you explore the shop’s charming, traditional atmosphere and sample these beloved handcrafted sweets. Craft and Knife Museum Visit the Sakai Traditional Crafts Museum and Knife Museum “CUT”, where centuries of Sakai craftsmanship come to life. Explore exhibits of hand-forged knives, traditional tools, and artisanal goods, while your guide explains the history, techniques, and artistry behind Sakai’s world-renowned blades. End the tour in the museum shop, where you can admire or purchase authentic handcrafted items. Knife Maker or Blacksmith Visit On select dates, visit a working knife maker or blacksmith (based on schedule and availability). Watch artisans shape steel with skill passed down through generations—an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience.
