Today you will have the opportunity to venture off the main island of Japan, Honshu, to the smaller island Shikoku for a unique culinary experience blended with nature and art.

Your destination is a place of serene beauty with a special connection to Ridge Vineyards. Nestled seamlessly in the vast cape forest of the Naruto Park Hills is the exclusive wellness retreat Hotel Ridge, built by their common parent company, Otsuka Pharmaceuticals. The surrounding forest is fed by a natural hot spring. Designed to stimulate all five senses, Hotel Ridge offers a unique dining experience called California Table. Inspired by California's Ridge Vineyards, the chef here offers a fusion of French, California and Japanese cuisine. Upon arrival at the hotel, you will have time to take in the peaceful serenity of this special place before sitting down to a multi-course lunch with Japanese wines. After lunch visit the nearby Otsuka Art Museum.
