A motorcoach transfer brings you to the Nakano Noodle School. Dig deep to find your noodle-maker within, and join this class to learn how to make authentic Udon noodles incredibly popular both here in Japan and in the West. You will dine on your culinary masterpiece for lunch.
Next, visit the Kotohira Shrine, located on a mountainside. Konpira is also called Kotohira-gu and is one of 12 guardian gods of Buddha. This shrine is the gods of the seas so many sailors and fisherman visit here. The structure of this shrine was influenced by both Shinto and Buddhism.
This adventure is the perfect way to make your visit to Japan exciting and unforgettable.Please note:
At Konpira, participants must walk up 300 steps to reach the shrine. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Guests who have a flour allergy (present in Udon noodles) should not participate. The parking lot of Konpira Shrine can only be accessed by mini-bus, necessitating a change in transportation before visiting the shrine. Due to seat availability, the group may need to be split into two groups, potentially resulting in some waiting time. Traffic can be unpredictable, especially during public holidays. The driver will do his/her best to keep moving safely. Your patience is greatly appreciated. Delays occasionally extend tour duration. No guarantee is offered with regard to visibility or views on any particular day, as weather and atmospheric conditions vary and are beyond the tour operator’s control. Tour sequence may vary. Bring Japanese currency (yen) for purchases.
