The Land of the Rising Sun offers travellers timeless visions of an earlier age: unspoilt islands, far-flung national parks and carefully preserved vestiges of its feudal past.
This paid content article was created for Untold Japan. It does not necessarily reflect the views of National Geographic, National Geographic Traveller or their editorial staffs.
Japan offers up portals to the past, too: meet some of the last artisans creating samurai armour; learn the time-honoured skills of ceramists; and partake in a tea ceremony run by Kyoto’s revereda type of entertainer and hostess unique to Kyoto and Japan's west. These experiences combine to unlock unsung, ancient and wild aspects of the Land of the Rising Sun.Distinguished by their masked helmets, complete with bristled moustache, it’s easy to imagine why samurai were so feared.
Today, Japan’s pottery crafts scene is still thriving, with differing styles across regions, prefectures and even cities. It’s best experienced at the remote villages of Arita and Imari, or the coastal city of Karatsu, all located in the Saga Prefecture of northwest Kyushu. Here, you can join pottery classes with local experts, easily booked through specialist tour operators.
