Ms. Machiko was amazing! She was extremely hospitable and easy to talk to! Also, Mr. Hiro, the sushi master, had informational and amazing insight into the traditional techniques of preparing sushi.

Imaicho
Imaicho in Kashihara, Nara still has the appearance of an antiquated town. It was built between 1532 and 1555 with a Buddhist temple at its center, and while clashes continued with samurai forces, they were granted a license to trade from Oda Nobunaga in 1575, and the town was absolved of any wrongdoing. During the Edo period (1603-1868), this became an important location for the transportation of goods, and by developing into a commercial town, they were given permission by the Edo shogunate (government) to distribute their own currency. At the time, it had been developed into a cutting edge town on par with Osaka and Sakai.
The Imaicho area is just captivating! Great atmosphere. Perfect for a lazy and relaxed tour.

Canoeing Down the Kozagawa River
The flow of the Kozagawa river is relatively gentle, so even beginners can fully enjoy kayaking. Why not feel some great nature and go kayaking leisurely down the river?
This was very fun and relaxing! I would recommend this to anyone!

Kushimoto
Located in the very south of the Honshu region of Japan, Kushimoto is one of the finest diving spots in the country, and is home to the northernmost coral reef in the world. Kushimoto is home to over 20 diving shops, with courses available for divers of all skill levels. So whether you want the full beginner's experience, or you'd rather take a boat offshore and dive a bit more freely, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Instructor was great but we were not able to scuba dive!
