Nagoya es una ciudad importante por la que casi todo el mundo pasa entre Tokio y Kioto pero que, además, es una base de operaciones genial para hacer excursiones de día muy interesantes. En este episodio te contamos sobre ellas. Algunos ejemplos son Inuyama, el Gran Santuario de Ise, Omihachiman, Hikone y varias más, pero si quieres saberlas todas, ¡dale al play! Luego, en Japonismo mini te contamos sobre la feria de turismo Fitur, en la que estuvimos dando una charla y anunciamos que en 2025 saldrá nuestro cuarto libro. Además, ganamos en la categoría Redes Sociales de los VIII Premios de Turismo Responsable y Sostenible por esforzarnos en descongestionar y desestacionalizar el turismo a Japón. Además, ha habido unos cuantos comentarios interesantes (hubo risas con algunas cosas del episodio de Setsubun) y, para acabar, la palabra japonesa que te traemos es cómo se dice en japonés "excursión de día", que también se usa para los onsen que visitas sin ser huésped del hotel. ¡Mata ne! ¿Quieres colaborar con el programa? - Colabora en Patreon - Únete a la Comunidad Japonismo - Reserva hoteles en Japón (y en todo el mundo) - Consigue seguro de viajes (¡no sólo para Japón!) - Busca los mejores vuelos - Lleva Internet (pocket wifi o SIM) - JR Pass para viajes ilimitados en tren ---- Continúa la conversación en: - Web: https://japonismo.com - Discord: https://discord.gg/hZrSa57 - Facebook: https://facebook.com/japonismo - Twitter: https://twitter.com/japonismo - Instagram: https://instagram.com/japonismo - Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/japonismo - Newsletter semanal: http://eepurl.com/di60Xn

Hear about travel to Hikone and Gifu in Central Japan as the Amateur Traveler talks to Miyuki Seguchi from the Japan Experts Podcast about he home region of Japan where she is a tour guide. Why should you visit Central Japan? Miyuki says, "A lot of travelers from North America or the West when they travel to Japan, they will stay in Japan for two to three weeks, and they usually travel from the eastern part of Japan to the western part of Japan or vice versa, but most of them do not stop off at the central region especially the southern part of Gifu to the eastern part of Shiga. So this part of Japan is simply not as well known as major tourist destinations, but there are a lot of places to visit, and these places are usually less busy and easy to access by public transport. If you want to explore some unique local areas with hidden gems that give you a great idea of authentic local life." The journey begins with a visit to Hikone, a city located in the Chubu region, home to the well-preserved Hikone Castle, one of Japan's five national treasure castles. Visitors can also enjoy a boat ride on the moat surrounding the castle and explore the beautiful gardens. Additionally, Miyuki recommends a boat trip to Chikubu Island on Lake Biwa to experience the coexistence of Shinto and Buddhism. Next, the itinerary takes travelers to Sekigahara, a town known for the historic Battle of Sekigahara which changed Japan's history. Here, they can visit the Battlefield Memorial Museum to learn about the battle. Moving west, the tour arrives in Gifu City, the largest city in Gifu Prefecture. A unique highlight here is the Ukai Cormorant Fishing, a tradition dating back over 1,300 years. This fishing method involves trained cormorant birds catching fish. The fishermen have an honorary position delivering fish to the Japanese imperial family. The Nagaragawa Ukai is famous for preserving this tradition, and visitors can experience it between May and October. There's also the opportunity to visit the Ukai Cormorant Fishing Museum for deeper insights into this cultural practice. Go out at night on a boat to watch this spectacle. For accommodations, staying in a traditional ryokan is recommended, where you can try the high-quality multi-course Japanese meal called kaiseki ryori. Don't miss the chance to visit a hot spring or onsen. The next day, explore the Kawaramachi district, a historic area with traditional merchant houses. The Nagaragawa River, one of Japan's cleanest rivers, has contributed to the development of craft-making, particularly Japanese paper called washi. Climb Mt. Kinka to get a panoramic view of the region, including the Japan Alps and the city of Nagoya. The summit can be reached by cable car or a one-hour hike. In the north of Gifu, you can explore Mino and Seki cities. Seki is renowned for its sword and knife-making tradition, offering the chance to witness skilled craftsmanship. Mino is also famous for its washi paper production, and you can visit the Washinary shop for various washi products. Overall, Gifu Prefecture offers a blend of traditional culture, scenic beauty, and unique experiences. If you travel between Tokyo and Kyoto, you will pass right by. show notes - https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-hikone-and-gifu-japan/

Kioto y Osaka tienen mucho que ver, pero también muchos sitios interesantes cerca. Te hablamos de muchos de ellos para que personalices al máximo tu viaje. Kioto y Osaka son dos ciudades geniales para descubrir (de las que tenemos episodio específico, además). Pero es que tienen muchísimos destinos interesantísimos cerca que pueden ser fabulosas excursiones de día. Entre otras, en este episodio de Japón a fondo te hablamos de: Fushimi, sake e historia samurái (pero no Fushimi Inari, que sale en episodio de Kioto). Kobe, más que el terremoto y la carne de Kobe. Uji, té verde matcha y templos que salen en monedas de 10 yenes (el Byodo-in). Nagoya, la ciudad grande más olvidada por los turistas pero con mucho que ver. Himeji, el castillo más famoso pero también jardines preciosos. Hikone, otro castillo y carne de Omi. Nara, un clásico con sus ciervos, su Gran Buda y más. Ohara, templos en las montañas de Kioto (atentos al chiste malo en el episodio). Kibune y Kurama, onsen y templos en las montañas de Kioto. Okayama, castillo y uno de los jardines más bellos. Gifu City, un castillo con vistas que quitan el sentido y pesca con cormorán. Inuyama y su precioso castillo. Hiroshima y Miyajima, dos clásicos. Amanohashidate, una de las mejores vistas de Japón. Luego hay algunos otros sitios que se podrían hacer en excursión de día (y que te contamos) pero en los que nosotros preferimos hacer noche, porque son pueblos onsen o tienen mucho que ver (Kanazawa, Kinosaki Onsen, Kaga Onsen, etc.) Y finalmente, en Japonismo mini te hablamos de nuestra presencia en Fitur, la feria de turismo que tiene lugar en Madrid (justo en este momento), donde daremos charlas y además tendremos cena con miembros de la Comunidad Japonismo. Hablamos muy brevemente del rediseño de Japonismo, el más ambicioso desde que comenzáramos la web hace justo 16 años, así como de comentarios de oyentes. Y la palabra japonesa del episodio es ganbarimasu y sus derivadas. Ya que acaba de empezar el año, vamos a animarnos entre todos para tener fuerzas para que 2022 sea un año fabuloso. ¡Nos escuchamos la semana que viene! ¿Quieres colaborar con el programa?
