Ireland + Japan
Getting There
Where to Stay
The Ashford Castle is a 5 star hotel in Cong, Ireland. To stay there for four nights (from May 10th to May 15th) it will cost $862 per person ($1,724 for the both of us) There are no decent attractions near the Ashford Castle, so we've agreed to drive (or roller skate!!) long distances to where ever we want to go.
The Imperial Hotel in Osaka, Japan is a 4 1/2 star hotel right next to a gigantic river and has a giant rubber ducky within a mile of it. For four nights, (May 16th to May 20th) it will cost $166 per person per night. ( $1328 for the whole deal) There's is plenty of restaurants and shops near it, so we will be entertained!
Culture and History
Cliffs of Moher: They get their name from the Irish word "Mothar", meaning ruined fort, therefor giving them, their name. Their discovery dates back until around two thousand years ago.
Japan: Mount Fuji: It is a beautiful volcano that sits 62 miles west of Tokyo. It erupted for the first time in history on July 31, 781.
Golden Pavilion: Said to be the most popular tourist attraction in Japan, the Golden Pavilion was built in the late 14th century Shogun Ashikaga as a retirement home. Though it was burnt down in 1950 by a monk who was obsessed over it, it was rebuilt in 1955 as a perfect copy of the original.
