Day 1 - Immersive Kasukabe Kick-off!

Kasukabe is a city drenched in history, culture, and warmth. We start the journey by immersing you in the local sights. The day starts early with a ride to the famous Shin Chan Museum JRA Racecourse. You'll learn why Shin-chan is such an icon in Kasukabe, and don't forget to take some selfies in this colourful and whimsical museum. In the afternoon, let's get adventurous. We'll head to Dai-Ichi Park for some outdoor fun. End your day with a tasty meal at a local Izakaya (Japanese tavern), where you'll experience quintessential Japanese nightlife culture. Imagine walking around colourful streets lit by lanterns, a warm sake in hand, and delicious yakitori skewers filling the air with a savoury aroma. Doesn't that sound like the perfect way to end your first day?

Day 2 - Cultural Exploration

What’s a trip to Japan without immersing yourself in the depths of historic Buddhist and Shinto architecture? Day 2 takes us to Tora-san museum, and the Kawagoe Castle. These landmarks not only brim with history but will leave you stunned by their architectural brilliance. In the evening, we visit the Local Fish Market where you can pick from the finest, freshest haul and it's going to get cooked right in front of your eyes. Remember when I mention exposure to traditional Japanese living, this is it!

Day 3 - Food and Shopping!

On our final day, we dedicate ourselves to the greatest pleasures of life – food and shopping. Our first halt is the Saitama Prefectural Okinawa Plaza, where we shall taste the world-famous Okinawa cuisine. Then, it's on to the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine to marvel at its serene beauty. Lastly, a visit to Japan remains incomplete without a shopping spree at Maruhiro, a multi-storey store that's a treasure trove with souvenirs, fashion, homewares and so much more. So, are you ready to say Sayonara with suitcases filled with memories and nicknacks?
