🙏Spiritual Pilgrimages of Tohoku🙏

"A great trip to a couple “off-the-beaten-path” locations that was both physically and creatively challenging. Kimberly did a great job explaining the spiritual and historical significance of the sites, challenging us to consider what the temple would have been like to the original inhabitants. It was a unique and fulfilling experience."

📿This kind review came in from a guest who used GetYourGuide to book with us during their trip to Sendai! Learn more about this spiritual tour at the link below.

Opened in 1987, the Sapporo Beer Museum is located in a historic red-brick building originally built in 1890 as a sugar factory. It showcases the history of beer production in Japan and the development of Sapporo Beer, one of Japan's most famous beer brands. Many exhibits can be seen at the museum: The history of beer in Japan and how Sapporo Beer was established in 1876 as the FIRST BEER BRAND in Japan as well as displays of vintage advertisements, bottles, and brewing equipment. You can also discover plenty of information about the brewing process and the cultural importance of beer in Hokkaido.

Kamikochi 🌿🌧️🏔️
(Nagano Prefecture)

Rainy days in Kamikochi have a charm all of their own. As the gentle summer showers fall across the valley, the surrounding forests come alive with the soothing sounds of flowing rivers, rustling leaves, birdsong, and the gentle tinkling of bear bells carried by fellow hikers, creating an atmosphere that's just as memorable as the breathtaking scenery!

While many visitors hope for blue skies, we believe that a little rain offers a quieter, more peaceful side to one of Japan's most spectacular mountain destinations.

Today is Mountain Day in Japan! So we want to celebrate the day by talking about one of Japan's most iconic mountain valleys, Kamikochi.

Most travelers know Kamikochi for its spectacular mountain scenery. Fewer realize that it also represents a turning point in Japan's history.

Before hiking became a leisure activity in Japan, mountains like Mt. Yarigatake were sacred destinations climbed by Buddhist monks in search of spiritual enlightenment. In 1828, the monk Banryu made the first recorded ascent of the mountain, viewing it not as a summit to conquer, but as a manifestation of the Buddhist Pure Land.

Only decades later did British engineer William Gowland introduce the term "Japanese Alps," while English missionary Walter Weston helped popularize recreational mountaineering in Japan through his influential writings. In Japan, Walter Weston is known as "the father of Japanese mountaineering" and even has a monument dedicated to his work within Kamikochi.

So it can be said that Kamikochi is the place in Japan where hiking as a hobby began.

Learn more about how you can hike in Kamikochi for yourself, or consider joining one of our day tours from Takayama, Nagoya, or Matsumoto: https://www.snowmonkeyresorts.com/smr/matsumoto-kamikochi/kamikochi-tours-and-charters/

Have you ever visited a place where understanding its history completely changed your experience?
