Blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, Central Japan is also rich in cultural treasures, as the birthplace of food replicas and site of famous castles and a wealth of samurai history. Spend a special evening with us discovering the region with three experts; JNTO’s Rose Lifschitz will reveal hidden travel gems, while castle specialist Yasuyuki Suzuki explores iconic fortresses like Gifu Castle and actor–martial artist Kaz Kobayashi presents a dynamic sword demonstration. Complementing our “Looks Delicious!” exhibition, which features replicas from Gujō Hachiman in this very region, this informative and entertaining program will blend vivid storytelling with practical insight for travelers and history enthusiasts alike.
