2025 walking holidays in Japan

Walking holidays in Japan are out of this world; they provide avid trekkers with spectacular landscapes to explore, historical sites to uncover and a host of challenging mountains to hike. As well as its forward-thinking culture, authentic sushi and quality fashion trends, Japan is famously known for its array of unique gardens and ancient pilgrimage walking trails, which can be found scattered across the country.


Why choose Japan walking tours

Japan offers walking getaways with a difference; when hiking in this vibrant country, you’ll be surrounded by natural wonders, including the likes of magical Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. This iconic destination is also home to a number of UNESCO World Heritage sites, so ramblers of all walking levels can admire unforgettable scenery on one of the many picturesque walking routes here.

Our Mystery of Japan holiday lets travellers experience everything they hope to when wandering through this extraordinary part of the world, from historical hikes to modern city paths. During this trekking escape, you will explore Osaka, Kumano Kodō pilgrimage trails, Kyoto and Kiso Valley, as well as the popular Fuji Five Lakes.

You will spend six nights in the incredible city of Kyoto, uncovering traditional tea houses, ancient temples and sacred shrines, before heading to the futuristic capital city of Tokyo, home of skyscrapers and the Imperial Palace. Plus, when visiting Fuji Five Lakes with our English-speaking walking experts, you will enjoy a mesmerising mountainous walking trail close to Mount Fuji.
