A cultural powerhouse that gave birth to Shakespeare, the Beatles, and Harry Potter.
A package tour around the UK with a local guide

"The land on which the sun never sets," "the land of gentlemen," what kind of history gave rise to the epithets that define Britain? A trip around Britain will prompt reflection on how this country came to dominate the world.
What was the strength of Britain, a second-rate nation among great powers like France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain?

As you travel around Britain, you will find that history, art and great literature are alive and well.
They dominated the world, initiated the Industrial Revolution, and created modern industry. The development of literature and art, which began with Shakespeare, led to the prosperity of the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series.
Behind this country of splendid culture and arts lies an ungentlemanly history of accumulating wealth through the slave trade and leading the Industrial Revolution to dominate the world.

The college facing the library is Hertford College.
This college is the fifth oldest in Oxford and was originally called Hart Hall.
'Hart' refers to a male red deer, and the school's current emblem features a deer head.
The university has a bridge reminiscent of the Italian Bridge of Sighs that connects the main building and the dormitories.
On one side is the dormitory building, and on the other side is the lecture hall. It is called 'The Bridge of Sighs' because students would sigh when crossing this bridge due to disappointment with their grades or stress from exams.

The film associated with the album "Let It Be" sat in Apple's warehouse, largely forgotten, for about 50 years.
The eight-hour film was released to the public in 2021 after four years of editing by Lord of the Rings director Sir Peter Robert Jackson.
This documentary, produced in three parts, each lasting 2-3 hours, captivated the world with the hidden stories of the Beatles and the images of the members from 50 years ago.
In particular, the appearances of George Harrison and John Lennon, who are no longer in this world, held special meaning for fans.

People still say that Messiah is a magnificent piece that brings tears of joy to the eyes with its grand scale and composition, comparable to Michelangelo's Creation of Adam.
Handel composed Messiah in just 24 days.
During those 24 days, he did not sleep properly, did not eat, and devoted himself solely to composing, completing an enormous masterpiece.
It is said that when the opera was performed in London after its premiere, King George II jumped up without realizing it when the song "Hallelujah" rang out during the part of the second part of the Messiah that sings of the suffering and atonement of Christ.
It is said that since then, in every country, there has been a custom of everyone standing up and applauding after the Messiah's performance.
