Sometimes I have oppotunities to go on domestic tours. One of my favorite tours is to visit "Kumano kodo" which is loated in Wakayama Prefecture.
"Kumano kodo" is old pilgrimage routes which lead to "Kumano Gonge", or "The three grand Shrines of Kumano. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumano_KodÅ) It is now popular as a World Heritage site designated in 2004 by UNESCO.
I always ask my company to let me go to the 2 -days tour. It gives me some refreshment walking in relaxing beautiful nature, and always comes with nice dinner and "Onsen"(hot-spring).
Normally I need to wear a suit on regular domestic tours, but it is a walikg tour, and no need to wear in formal. That's the best!
