DAY 1
Nagasaki and Saga, located at the westernmost tip of Honshu, have a long history of foreign culture and the fusion of different cultures. The first thing to do is to try painting Arita ware, in which indigo, red, and yellow colors are delicately applied to hard, durable white porcelain. After moving to Takeo Onsen, you will go to Mifuneyama Rakuen, a famous place for azaleas and autumn leaves. You will be mesmerized by one of the largest illuminations of autumn leaves in Japan. In the evening, take a relaxing dip in the soft hot spring water of Takeo Onsen.
