Open
Warm, mineral-engulfed waters soar up from below the earth all over the country, giving rise to spa sanctuaries in charming traditional Japanese inns, known as Ryokans.⁠ Properties such as these have existed since the 8th century A.D.⁠, and with an overabundance of active volcanoes, Japan is breeding grounds for over 3,000 “onsens” or hot springs. ⁠
⁠
Opt for an Onsen soak in an all-natural private open-air bath and later, a visit to the spa. Dinner will be served in your room — a fabulous traditional Kaiseki banquet.⁠
⁠
DM us @thelegacyuntold and let us take you there. ⁠

Open
Nestled at the top of Mt.Gagyu, seemingly floating above the clouds, is the Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, otherwise known as Japan's Castle in the sky.⁠ Matsuyama was originally constructed back in 1240 when castles primarily served as defensive fortresses, and as such, were built on steep mountains that were more difficult to attack.⁠
⁠
It is the oldest surviving castle in Japan, and THE only mountaintop castle among the 12 original castles to survive the post-feudal age intact. At an elevation of 1,400 ft., it is also the highest. ⁠

Open
In modern Japanese gardens, flowers are few and evergreens popular. Simplicity, restraint, and consistency are sought rather than gaiety, showiness, or the obvious variations of the seasons.
