✨ Experience: Traditional Japanese Culture and Arts

In Japan's Kansai region, a mystical journey awaits—one that weaves together mythology, fortune traditions, and gourmet experiences. Beginning from the elegant Takarazuka Onsen, venturing to the mythological birthplace of Nushima, and stretching onward to Kobe and Awaji Island, this is more than just a tour—it’s a rejuvenating experience for the body, mind, and soul.

Day 1: An Afternoon Embraced by Fortune Traditions – Serenity at Takarazuka Onsen

In the afternoon, we arrive at Hotel Wakamizu in Takarazuka—a hot spring inn that is more than just a place to stay; it’s a sanctuary steeped in the culture of good fortune. As we step into the guest room, we’re greeted by specially crafted lucky ornaments and handmade charms unique to Takarazuka City. Simple in design, yet radiating powerful energy.

As evening falls, we soak in a rose-scented hot spring bath, where crimson and blush petals float gently on the surface, swaying with the flow of the water. Outside the window lies the tranquil view of Takarazuka City, serene and still. Surrounded by the delicate fragrance and soft hues of the roses, it feels as if we are embraced by an aura of happiness. This sensory feast marks a gentle and enchanting beginning to the entire journey.

At dinner time, we step into a private dining room, where an exquisite kaiseki meal unfolds alongside premium sake from Hyogo Prefecture. From abalone to seasonal vegetables, each dish delicately conveys a message of good fortune—like a silent prayer expressed through ingredients. This is more than just a meal; it’s a ritual, a meaningful dialogue between flavor and blessing.

 

Day 2: From Sacred Chopsticks to Divine Cattle — A Journey of Faith and Flavor

The next morning, we drive to Kiyoshikōjin Seichō-ji Temple, a sacred site dedicated to the Fire God and an important place for locals to pray for protection and good fortune. Walking along the one-kilometer approach, we are greeted by the aromas of street food and the charm of small souvenir shops lining both sides—an atmosphere rich with everyday life and warmth.

One of the temple’s most unique charms is the “sacred fire chopsticks” (hibashi omamori), believed to burn away misfortune and invite purity and peace. Holding these chopsticks feels like grasping a power bestowed by ancient deities—a tangible link to divine protection.

In the afternoon, we visit Nishinomiya Shrine, the head shrine of Ebisu worship in Japan. Here, in addition to paying respects to the deity of prosperity, visitors can place a sacred talisman (o-fuda) into a beautifully crafted talisman box made by the Ebisu Shimada workshop—completing a full ritual of blessing and good fortune.

As night falls, we arrive at the most enchanting highlight of the journey—a private dinner at Art Aquarium átoa in Kobe. Surrounded by mesmerizing aquariums in a space where art and water blend seamlessly, we indulge in a premium Kobe beef course paired with carefully selected sake, while a live jazz band sets the mood. This is more than just a dining experience—it’s an immersive celebration of sight, taste, and sound, where every moment feels like a dream.

 

Day 3: Tracing Origins by Fishing Boat — Journey to the Mythical Island of Nushima

On the third day, we venture out to Nushima, off the coast of Awaji Island—legend says this is the first piece of land created by the deities Izanagi and Izanami, using the “Ame-no-Nuboko” (Heavenly Spear) to stir the sea. More than just the origin point of Japanese mythology, Nushima remains a serene hidden gem, untouched by mass tourism and steeped in sacred stillness.

We board a local fishing boat, gliding across the endless sea as the salty breeze brushes our faces. The fisherman, skilled and steady, guides us through the waters. In the distance, Nushima slowly emerges—rising from the ocean like the divine island from myth, just as the ancient legends foretold.

After landing, we set out on foot toward the island’s sacred sites—locations said to be where creation itself began. These mythical places are not just tales, but tangible realities, quietly nestled in the landscape. With every step, we draw closer to ancient memories. It’s a deeply moving experience—one that goes beyond what the eyes can see and reaches into the soul.

 

Day 4 (Optional Activity): Witness Myth Turned into Theater at the Awaji Puppet Theatre

For those choosing to extend their journey, we visit the Awaji Puppet Theatre—renowned for its traditional Japanese puppet performances. Of particular note is the reenactment of the myth of “Ebisu,” one of Japan’s most beloved deities.

For those opting to extend their journey, we visit the Awaji Puppet Theatre—celebrated for its rich heritage in traditional Japanese puppetry. A highlight of the performance is the reenactment of the myth of “Ebisu,” one of the earliest and most cherished deities in Japanese mythology. Through masterful storytelling and intricate puppet artistry, this tale brings to life the spiritual roots of Japan in a captivating and culturally immersive experience.

This “Journey to the Origins of Japan” offers a profound encounter with the essence of fuku—good fortune—through the lenses of culture, spirituality, cuisine, and history. Whether it's the sacred fire chopsticks in hand, the melt-in-your-mouth Kobe beef, or the sea breeze brushing your face aboard a fishing boat, every moment affirms that Japan’s most moving beauty lies not only in its landscapes, but in the deep-rooted faith and emotion woven into every detail.

Next time, if what you seek is more than just a trip—if it’s a journey for the soul—then this cultural pilgrimage from Takarazuka to Nushima may very well be your answer.
