Hello,

In Sept - Oct '13, my wife and I are going to string together multiple award tickets for an around the world trip in business class. I have been to Tokyo for 10 days in 2003, and my wife has never been to Japan.

What would be an interesting destination, served by Star Alliance, for us to see for 2-4 days in Japan? Particularly somewhere unique and remote, where a regular ticket would be very expensive, but we could get as an award ticket.

We like relaxing, hiking, eating, whitewater rafting, and taking in the local culture. Neither of us speaks Japanese, though are willing to fumble around through areas where we won't speak the local language.

Best regards,

Beofotch
