Why choose this route?

Dreamlike Monet masterpiece

Monet's Pond (approximately 30-minute stop): Explore the secluded pond next to Gendo Shrine. Colorful water lilies float on the crystal-clear surface, while koi swim beneath, perfectly capturing the dreamlike colors of Claude Monet's "Water Lilies" series. It's a highly artistic spot for taking photos.

Walking through the old streets of Edo

Mino Uzuke Old Town (approx. 200 minutes): Stroll through this 400-year-old "Important Preservation District for Traditional Buildings". The towering and ornate Uzuke firewalls tell the story of the former glory of papermaking magnates. Allow ample time for a lunch break and leisurely stroll; compared to the crowds in Kyoto, this place offers a more tranquil and serene atmosphere.

Primitive totems and life wishes

Tagaki Shrine (approximately 45 minutes): With a history of 1,500 years, it enshrines the "Kin-Shin" (golden spirit), a symbol of male vitality, and is a unique representation of the Japanese agricultural culture that prays for abundant harvests and prosperous descendants.

Ryūon-ji Temple (approximately 45 minutes): The main deity is the Thousand-Armed Kannon, said to have originated from a prayer of the master Kūkai. This is a sacred place for Japanese women to pray for safe childbirth, smooth delivery, and a peaceful childbirth, filled with gentle vitality.

Pure sightseeing with no shopping stops: There are no shopping stops throughout the entire trip, and all the time is dedicated to the scenery, culture, and free exploration.

▼Monet's Pond (30 minutes) is named for its striking resemblance to Claude Monet's famous "Water Lilies" series. Located near the Root Shrine, this pond was originally an ordinary reservoir, but through years of natural evolution and meticulous human care, it has become a picturesque scene. Water lilies float on the surface, while colorful koi swim beneath. The surrounding green trees and flowers are reflected in the clear water, creating a captivating picture. This scene is strikingly similar to the landscapes depicted by Monet in his "Water Lilies" series, making visitors feel as if they are stepping into a Monet painting.

▼Mino Old Town (200 minutes) Located in Mino City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, the old-style houses and streets of Mino resemble a flowing Edo-era painting, vividly presenting the everyday life of the city from 1603 to 1868. The old-style buildings along the street exude an antique charm, with the mansions of wealthy merchants being particularly noteworthy – their towering roofs and elaborately decorated gables stand in a staggered pattern, silently telling the story of their former owners' prominent status and immense wealth. During the Edo period, Mino City rose to prominence as a major commercial center thanks to its washi paper industry, whose products were sold far and wide, creating a glorious legend of wealth.

▼Komai Shrine (45 minutes) is located in Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is an ancient shrine with a history of over 1,500 years. Its unique religious culture has been passed down to this day. The shrine enshrines the "Kinshiki," a symbol of male genitalia. These seemingly special objects actually carry the primitive worship of life reproduction and family continuation in traditional Japanese culture, which is closely connected with the deep-seated wishes of agrarian society for abundant harvests and prosperity for people and livestock.

Ryūon-ji Temple (45 minutes), also known as Kannon-ji Temple, features a unique Thousand-Armed Kannon statue that symbolizes the protection of life and childbirth. According to temple tradition, this statue originated from a prayer made by the monk Kūkai before his journey to Tang Dynasty China, intended to bless Japan's prosperity and the well-being of its people. Over time, it has become a sacred place for Japanese women to pray for smooth breastfeeding, safe childbirth, and successful delivery, even extending to the worship of female vitality.
