Kansai walking tours
Kansai, in western Honshu, was the political and cultural centre of Japan for more than a thousand years. Kyoto and Nara, the old imperial capitals, are full of temples, shrines and gardens, while Osaka is the country's street-food capital and Kobe a cosmopolitan port between the mountains and the sea. Himeji, to the west, has the finest original castle in Japan. Fast, frequent trains make it easy to see several cities from one base.
