Sendai is the largest city in island of Honshu, Japan. It is a pleasant city, close to both the sea and the mountains. It is called the "Forest City", because of its lush vegetation. The main avenues around the city are wide and tree-lined and the main shopping street is pedestrianised and covered, so it feels like a mall. Visit the Miyagi Museum of Art with its great collection of modern art, the Osaki Hachiman Shrine, with displays of metal ornaments and colorful woodwork and Rinnoj, an ancient shrine with a big captivating garden.

Kushiro is located in Hokkaido, Japan. The Kushiro area is volcanically active and small tremors from off-shore earthquakes occur regularly. Kushiro is a rural area and home to Japan's largest marshland. The city is very popular to bird lovers because it offers them the chance to watch the endangered Japanese cranes all year-round. It is worth visiting the Kushiro City Museum with the unique architecture, where many excellent exhibits representing the natural history of the area can be found.

Sitka, one of the most beautiful seaside towns in Alaska, was once capital, cultural and political hub of Russian America, seat of the bishop of Kamchatka and the most important port on the West Coast for the first half of the 19th century.

You will be greeted by native Tlingit people, who have lived continuously in Sitka for over 50 centuries, you will see totems carved by the masterful hands of Tlingit and Haida Indians at Sitka National Historical Park and you can enjoy a performance by the New Archangel Dancers, who preserve the heritage by delivering spirited dance renditions that represent the cultures of Russia and surrounding areas.
