Upon taking gulp after gulp, she is turned into a dragon and is thrust into the lake. Her quest to find eternal beauty was left unfulfilled, but the beauty of Lake Tazawa remains, as stunning now as it was when Tatsuko drank from its shores.Bullet train brings you from Kyoto northbound to the Akita prefecture.

Small samurai villages, friendly local people, and a stunning preservation of culture that invites you to slow down and take in what makes Japan truly unique.Begin the morning with a local business run by the same family for generations. Their craft uses the bark of the cherry blossom to produce charming works of art. Build your own alongside the experts. Wander a samurai village at your own pace, making your own discoveries along the way. This early evening at the sake brewery begins with song and ends with a full stomach.ACTIVITY: The craft known as Kabazaiku has been passed down from generation to generation, and is the only craft in the world that uses bark from wild cherry blossoms. When the bark is peeled using this technique, the tree will be able to regenerate in a few years and doesn't need to die in order for the bark to be used. Visit this family-run craft business and spend time in the workshop at their home.

The tour includes an in-depth look into the brewing process as you see the facilities. See the establishment’s collection of art, samurai armour, and pieces of jewelry dating back to the 17th century. For all this time the fields of Akita have remained bountiful, the water crisp, making it possible to continue making sake the same way for centuries.

One village, however, was spared. Fudai, in Iwate prefecture, is a place left completely untouched by western influence, and luckily, by the affects of the Tsunami.

Bright and busy Tokyo is on the horizon so breathe in that salty air while you can.After a leisurely morning at the beach, relax on a bullet train to Tokyo throughout the afternoon.ACTIVITY: Walk to Jodogahama Beach and enjoy the strange rock formations this morning.
