Japan Adventure (10 destinations)

Get to the heart of Japan on this 20-day adventure that blends vibrant cities with serene landscapes. Absorb the bustle of Tokyo before heading into the countryside for a homestay and take in the views of the iconic Mt Fuji. Travel on a futuristic bullet train to Kyoto and step into this nation’s history before heading to the foodie paradise of Osaka. Then, head north to Aomori’s ancient sites and Hokkaido’s hot springs, meet the Ainu people in Asahikawa and treat your tastebuds to traditional dumplings after a cooking demonstration.Japan is best explored on foot and by public transport. You’ll need to be fit enough to spend most of each day on your feet and able to handle your luggage as you navigate busy train stations. We recommend comfortable shoes and packing light., Japanese train connections are typically centred around major cities, so travelling to smaller towns and cities often requires passing through these larger hubs., This trip includes a canoeing activity which isn’t too demanding, but requires a good level of fitness to fully enjoy the experience., Double rooms in Japanese hotels can be smaller than you may be used to (e.g. 20 sqm). Every effort will be made to accommodate double room requests. However, during busy periods, there may be occasions when we are unable to offer a double room, so a twin room will be provided.
