Located approximately 1,4 km from the North Korean border, the park is one of the most striking places to sense the legacy of the Korean War and observe the border between the two countries. We then visit the Jogang River Observation Terrace, one of the park's main attractions. From here, you can use binoculars to observe North Korea's Kaesong region, farmland and riverside settlements. On clear days, the striking view of the two countries separated only by the Jogang River offers visitors an unforgettable experience. After our tour, a boat trip on the Han River gives us the opportunity to discover Seoul from a different perspective. After enjoying views of the city's modern skyline, bridges and riverside parks, transfer to our hotel and free time to relax. Overnight at our hotel.
Note: Due to its proximity to a military zone, Aegibong Eco Park may be closed without notice on the day of the tour.

Located at the foot of Namsan Mountain in central Seoul, Namsangol Hanok Village is a fascinating cultural site featuring faithfully reconstructed traditional Korean houses from the Joseon Dynasty. As you walk among the historic hanok houses, you will discover Korea's past way of life and have the opportunity to see traditional handicrafts and cultural performances. Our tour continues with a transfer to Myeongdong, home to shops, cosmetics stores and numerous restaurants. On this street, lined with shops, cosmetics stores and restaurants, you can do any shopping you wish and sample local flavours before leaving the country.

With a history spanning nearly 450 years, the five-storey Osaka Castle is one of the country's most visually magnificent creations and a fine example of traditional Japanese architecture, from its subtle balance of colours to the elegant patterns and shapes adorning each floor.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, it is one of the principal places commemorating those who lost their lives in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. We then see Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. The park is dedicated to Hiroshima, the world's first city to suffer a nuclear attack, where the death toll had reached 140.000 by the end of 1945. Before the bombing, the area now occupied by the Peace Park was the city's political and commercial heart, which is why it was chosen as the pilot's target. Four years after the bombing, it was decided that the area would not be redeveloped but instead dedicated to peace memorial facilities. After seeing the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, transfer to Hiroshima railway station. We return to Osaka by high-speed train and transfer to our hotel in Osaka. Overnight at our hotel.
After breakfast at the hotel, we check out and depart for Nara. Upon arrival, we begin our panoramic tour of Nara with Todaiji Temple. Built in 752, the temple was intended to serve as the head of all Buddhist temples. As its influence grew, it also began to affect politics in the 8th century. Todaiji's main hall has entered the record books as the world's largest wooden structure. This enormous building houses one of Japan's largest bronze Buddha statues (Daibutsu). We then visit Nara Park, a large park in central Nara. Established in 1880, it is home to many of Nara's main attractions, including Todaiji, Kasuga Taisha, Kofukuji and the Nara National Museum.

As we walk along the trail, you can enjoy the sound of the wind passing through the bamboo and take photographs of the forest. We then continue with our temple tour. Kinkakuji Temple, a Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf, is also known as the Golden Pavilion.

It is a sacred symbol of the country, with temples and shrines on and around the volcano. Weather permitting, we reach Mount Fuji's fifth station, where magnificent views above the clouds create a wonderful atmosphere. We then depart for our Hakone tour.

The other end of the street leads to Hozomon, the temple's second gate. During our break on the shopping street, you can purchase traditional Japanese souvenirs such as kimonos and folding fans, or sample a variety of traditional local snacks from the Asakusa area.

From 1612 to 1800, a silver coin mint stood in what is now Ginza, giving the district its name, which means "silver mint" in Japanese.
