Shirakawago and Takayama 2 Days Tour from Osaka or Kyoto

It takes only two and a half hours to get there from the centre of Osaka. Kinosaki has been famous for its onsen for over 1,000 years. Japanese people enjoy soto-yu, which involves experiencing several different onsens without staying at a hotel. We are also going on a trip to Ankokuji, which is famous for the view from the temple window. On the second day, we will visit another temple and have soba at a Kawadoko restaurant located beside the river. The area stays cool even in summer due to the air and water from the mountains. This tour is completely different from others. You can relax and experience the real Japan.

The Awa Dance Festival (Awa Odori) is the country's largest dance festival as part of the Obon festival in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. 
Dancers and musicians known as ren parade through the streets accompanied by traditional instruments, wearing obon dance costumes and chanting. "Awa" refers to the old name of Tokushima Prefecture, and "odori" means "dance".
"Odoru aho ni miru aho, onaji aho nara odoranya sonson" (A fool watches a fool dancing, If they're both fools, let's dance). It's the lyrics sung by the dancers during the festival.
