Recommended trekking sites in Japan

rate [ 0 ]

The Kunisaki Buddhist Trek in Kyushu is an eight-day trail through the mountains of the Kunisaki peninsula. Be prepared for steep climbs along ancient trails that monks used to take, passing through hamlets, stone Buddha statues and caves.

For US$2,840 (S$3,999), the package includes accommodation ranging from hotels in the city to Japanese inns with thermal spring baths and a night at a temple. A less arduous alternative is The Summer Nakasendo Way tour along one of Japan's ancient highways, the Nakasendo, also known as 'the road through the mountains'. The scenic road, which snakes through the countryside and picturesque mountains of Japan's Central Alps, was once popular among feudal lords and merchants during the 17th century.

The 16km-long tour costs US$2,850 (S$4,013) and includes accommodation and most meals. For other treks, go to www.walkjapan.com

Places to go in Cebu

rate [ 1 ]

Other than the usual city sights such as Fort San Pedro, Magellan's Cross and the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino, an eye-opening experience for the family would be a trip to the Carbon Market. It is Cebu's oldest and biggest produce market, which has a big range of food stalls selling yummy snacks such as flame-grilled chicken kebabs, grilled bananas and bola bola, which are Filipino meatballs.

To seek respite from the heat, hit the shopping malls Robinson's Plaza and Ayala Center, a mega mall which has everything under one roof.
