Cross the water from Osaka to Awaji Island, a place few travelers reach and, in Japanese legend, the land where Japan began. Travel in a private 7-seat vehicle with your own driver and visit the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Awaji Yumebutai, and Izanagi Shrine. The day also includes time along the coastline for pine-lined beaches, open sea views, and stops wherever the light is good. This tour suits travelers who prefer to explore at their own pace while the driver takes care of the roads, parking, and timing.
