About this tour

Discover Japan on our walking holiday that ticks off the must-sees, explores its beautiful landscapes and takes you off the beaten path, too. See a new side of Tokyo on an urban hike through the sprawling capital before heading into the mountains to uncover relics from the Edo period. Finish up with a four-day hike along the Kumano Kodo, an ancient pilgrimage trail connecting Shinto shrines. Along the way, refuel with authentic Japanese cuisine and unwind in the onsen at a traditional ryokan. Nakasendo Way - Hike between historic post towns on a highway once travelled by samurai and itinerant merchants. Kyoto - Explore the temples and tea houses of Japan's historic capital on foot. Traditional accommodation - Experience a Japanese rite of passage, sleeping on a futon and washing in a hot spring bath at a traditional ryokan inn.
