(FULL!) TOHOKU TRAILS & TREASURES! Discover Japan’s Timeless Northern Beauty
(FULLY BOOKED!)
**ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF TOHOKU IN SPRING!**
**Tohoku Escapade: A Spectacular 10-Day Road & Rail Journey Through Japan’s Untamed North!**
**TOHOKU,** Japan’s best-kept secret, is a land of breathtaking natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. From **lovely spring flowers,** **serene gorges** & **surreal lakes** to **ancient temples, samurai towns**, and **secluded onsen villages**, Tohoku offers an authentic journey through Japan’s soul.
Each prefecture boasts its own seasonal flavors — from **Aomori’s crisp apples** to **Akita’s soul-warming kiritanpo** and **Sendai’s** **famous gyutan**. With fewer touristy crowds, deeper traditions, and spectacular scenery, **Tohoku** is where nature and culture blend seamlessly — perfect for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience rich in discovery, flavor, and timeless charm.
The **6 Secret Gems** of Japan's Northern Region -
**1\. AOMORI \-** Japan’s northernmost Honshu prefecture, is a land of rugged beauty, mystical traditions, and world-class apples. Wander the enchanting trails of **Oirase Gorge**, marvel at the vivid colors of **Lake Towada**, or discover ancient rituals at **Mt.** **Hakkoda's trails**. The region is home to the spectacular **Nebuta Museum**, **rich fishing villages**, and atmospheric **onsens** tucked in the forests. Aomori’s blend of wild nature and spiritual depth makes it truly unforgettable.
***
**2\. AKITA \-** offers serene countryside charm, colorful spring flowers, and rich cultural heritage. Hike the volcanic terrain of **Mount Hachimantai**, soak in **Nyuto Onsen**’s hidden hot springs, and explore **Kakunodate**, a beautifully preserved samurai town. Visit local farms, enjoy Akita’s prized rice and sake, and experience the warmth of the **Namahage** folklore. This is the Tohoku of deep roots and deep relaxation — traditional, tranquil, and full of character.
***
**3\. IWATE** is Japan’s second-largest prefecture, known for its dramatic **coastline, spiritual landmarks**, and **alpine adventures.** Discover the **UNESCO-listed** **Hiraizumi temples**, hike the scenic paths of **Geibikei Gorge**, and soak in legendary **Hanamaki Onsen**. The **Sanriku Coast** offers unforgettable ocean views and resilience stories post-2011. With fewer crowds, Iwate feels like a secret sanctuary — where history, nature, and tradition converge in harmony.
***
**4\. YAMAGATA \-** is a treasure trove of mountain temples, lush valleys, and artisanal culture. Climb the 1,000 steps of **Yamadera Temple**, hike through the stunning **Zao** mountain ranges, or rejuvenate in charming **Ginzan Onsen**, famed for its nostalgic Taisho-era ambiance. Enjoy seasonal fruits from its fertile **orchards** and discover Yamagata’s strong traditions in crafts, soba-making, and festivals. This is where nature and heritage are equally revered.
***
**5\. MIYAGI \-** Centered around vibrant **Sendai**, Miyagi offers a blend of modern city life and natural wonders. Cruise through the iconic **Matsushima Bay**, one of Japan’s top scenic views, or explore **Naruko Gorge** ablaze in different colors. Sample **gyutan** (grilled beef tongue), relax in volcanic hot springs, and uncover stories of samurai lords at **Sendai Castle**. Miyagi balances urban energy with serene landscapes — ideal for travelers who want a bit of everything.
***
**6\. FUKUSHIMA \-** surprises visitors with its scenic diversity and resilient spirit. Explore the samurai town of **Aizu-Wakamatsu**, hike through vibrant lakes and forests in **Bandai-Asahi National Park**, and soak in the tranquil beauty of **Tsuchiyu Onsen**. Spring transforms the region into a painter’s palette of sparkling colors. With heartfelt hospitality, stunning alpine vistas, and deep cultural layers, Fukushima is a place of renewal and rediscovery.
**BONUS GEM: NIKKO!**
As a grand finale to your Tohoku adventure, we'll add in **Nikko** as well which offers a magical blend of **sacred shrines**, **majestic waterfalls**, and **crimson autumn leaves**. Marvel at the ornate beauty of **Toshogu Shrine**, stroll through the tranquil **Kanmangafuchi Abyss**, and soak in mountain onsens with forest views. Just two hours from Tokyo, Nikko is a serene escape where nature and spirituality meet — the perfect way to reflect, recharge, and complete your Japan adventure.
Yes ... venture beyond the tourist trails and into the soul of Japan.
This 10-day immersive **Road & Rail journey through TOHOKU** — spanning all six prefectures of this lesser-known gem plus the spectacular beauty of Nikko (BONUS) — is your chance to witness **Japan’s most spectacular landscapes**, discover **deep-rooted traditions**, indulge in **farm-to-table delicacies**, and bathe in the therapeutic waters of ancient **onsens** surrounded by golden forests.
**Why Join This Adventure?**
Unlike typical Japan tours, this curated experience offers a **rich tapestry of seasonal beauty and authentic encounters**. From walking through enchanted forests in secluded national parks to tasting freshly harvested apples and seasonal fruits at countryside orchards, every moment is crafted to slow you down — and awaken your senses.
**Highlights of the Journey**:
* **Scenic Hikes** in some of Tohoku’s most picturesque spots like **Oirase Gorge, Hachimantai**, or **Naruko Gorge** – a photographer's dream in the tranquil trails of nature.
* **Cultural Immersion** as you explore charming **samurai towns,** **centuries-old** **castles**, and **folklore museums**.
* **Visit Local Farms** to sample seasonal produce and connect with Japan’s rural roots.
* **Enjoy breathtaking scenic short hikes (1 - 3hr)** to secret waterfalls, picturesque mirror lakes, sacred shrines, cedar, oak, pine forests, ancient trails blanketed in autumn colors.
* **Thermal Onsen Retreats** in atmospheric ryokans — a soul-soothing experience after a day of exploration.
* **Culinary Journeys** featuring regional specialties: seafood from **Sanriku, Aomori apples, Akita kiritanpo, Sendai gyutan**, and much more.
Whether you're a hiker, a nature lover, culture seeker, or foodie for Japan's cuisine, this trip blends **comfort and adventure**, **bullet-train rides and road freedom**, allowing you to discover **a more scenic, immersive and soulful Japan**.
**If you've already visited the major cities eg. Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto etc**, it's time to go deeper. **Tohoku is Japan unfiltered** — wild, warm, and wondrous in the embrace of autumn at its peak time!

I am proud to announce that the Wiser Faster Club will be joining the National Library Board's LearnX Community. As such, we will be re-locating our meetup venue to the Central Library!
Life gets busy. Books pile up. And sometimes what would be great is finding someone to share the *aha!* moments with us.
That’s what Wiser Faster is all about: a space for curious, growth-minded people to come together, share what they’ve learned from a great non-fiction book, and spark deeper conversations.
Join us to build a quality network and accelerate your own growth!

**🕙 Time:** 10am–12pm
**📌 Venue:** Programme Room 3, Basement 1, Central Library , 100 Victoria St
**👥 Group Size:** Small & focused (20-25pax) so everyone gets to contribute
Rather than the *typical* book club where everyone has to read the same book beforehand, WFC is a relaxed brunch-time huddle with 2-3 “Book Sharers” taking 15min turns to present insights from a piece of non-fiction that they’ve read which is followed by open discussion.
Bring your curiosity and let’s bounce ideas around.
### How You Can Join
**🙋 Learner**-Sit in, listen actively, and join the discussion if you feel like it
**📚 Sharer**\- Read a non\-fiction book that blew your mind? Present your key takeaways in 15min\-s\.
**🎙️ Host**-For returning members keen to try light facilitation or emceeing
*"We become good by reading. We become great by writing. We gain mastery by teaching"*

**[RSVP etiquette]**
• Update your RSVP if you can’t attend to help with planning.

May Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our May read is **_Kindred_ by Octavia E. Butler.**
The story follows Dana, a Black woman living in 1976 California, who is suddenly pulled back to a Maryland plantation before the Civil War. She learns her survival is tied to a white slaveholder’s son. Forced to move between centuries, she must endure the brutal realities of slavery while fighting to hold on to her identity. Tense, intimate, and unforgettable, Kindred explores how the past refuses to stay buried.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.**
Happy reading! 📖

Bad Girls Book Club June 2026
**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller**
**This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.**
Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship.
Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed.
Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
May Thriller/Mystery Book Club

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream! Their menu uses made-from-scratch recipes in an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, crepes, waffle sticks, specialty coffee & espresso, and more! Their specialty shakes are as delicious as they are over-the-top and they offer an extensive vegan menu! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 6:45pm showing and we’ll meet in the upstairs lobby between 6:25 and 6:35pm! Advance ticket purchase is advised for this opening night showing! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!
Should be a fun one, Dan
