In Takayama, Japan, a new company, Japonism<\/em>, provides virtual tours available world-wide, giving us an excellent opportunity to explore Japan from the comfort of our sofas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online government-licensed tour guide, Mika Shiraishi, and her company M&Company, will take you on virtual journeys through Ukiyo-e art and historic Takayama. The two tours cost around \u00a312.69 (or 1800 JPY), and last 75 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If those tours aren\u2019t for you, they are currently developing more tours, including through Kyoto and a tour of Sake breweries, so they\u2019ll be more opportunities to explore Japan. The tours are developed to help you \u201c\u2026feel and understand the true value of a local area.<\/em>\u201d And aren\u2019t designed for just <\/em>those hardened travel aficionados, but for the average Joe and Jill, to experience Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describing their tours as authentic and saying \u201cthey will touch your heart\u201d \u2013 perhaps for those of us stuck at home, due to the continuing Covid-19 pandemic, and the possibility of no holidays this summer \u2013 perhaps these tours will help break the monotony of lock-down life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M&Company are also offering in-person private tours, for those able to visit Japan. To find out more about virtual or in-person tours, visit their website<\/a>, or find them on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
