Blending art and tradition, this lovely cultural day begins with a motorcoach drive to the Tokaido Hiroshige Art Museum, a showplace of ukiyo-e art, or wood-block prints. View over 1,300 ukiyo-e exhibits, many by Hiroshige Utagawa (1797-1858), one of the best-known Edo Period ukiyo-e artists famous for his captivating landscapes. Learn the process involved in making the prints and the natural materials that produce such dramatic colors. Continue to a traditional tea ceremony. The scent of the tea soothes your soul as you sit down to participate in a choreographed ritual handed down through the generations. You will be served a Japanese green tea, called "matcha," accompanied by some sweets. Continue your tour to Miho-no-Matsubara, one of the "New Three Views of Japan" distinguished for its scenic beauty. Admire the pine-forested coastline along Suruga Bay and take in the grand views of Mt. Fuji.
