## Dear guests, given that November and December 2025 are the peak season for maple leaf viewing, in order to avoid the morning rush and reduce traffic congestion, and to enjoy a complete tour time, we are hereby advancing the departure time on Saturdays and Sundays by one hour. Please be aware and prepare for your trip in advance. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. **First stop: Toshogu Shrine** The pinnacle of Edo art, one of Japan's most representative historical and cultural heritages. From the "Three Monkeys" symbolizing wisdom (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) to the "Sleeping Cat" foreshadowing peace, to Chinese sages and mythical auspicious beasts, it can be called an encyclopedia of Japanese craftsmanship. The vermilion palace pavilions and towering ancient cedars interweave to create a solemn atmosphere, and the scene of autumn maple leaves dyeing gold leaf is even more breathtaking. **Second stop: Irohazaka Winding Road (view from the car, no getting off)** Japan's legend
