What better way to unravel the mysteries of Japan than by embarking on a journey that delves into its vibrant cities, serene temples, and ancient pathways? We believe that Japan isn’t just a country to visit; it’s a place to experience. By walking its ancient trails, exploring its sacred sites, and engaging with its rich traditions, you’ll gain an authentic understanding of this remarkable land. We’ve carefully curated three walking tours of Japan that span the breadth of the country – from its iconic cities to its tranquil countryside – showcasing the best of what this extraordinary country has to offer.

Uncover the Mystery of Japan on a thrilling cultural journey. Your adventure begins in the dazzling metropolis of Tokyo, a city that never fails to amaze with its mix of cutting-edge innovation and deep-rooted tradition. Dive into the whirlwind of Tokyo’s futuristic cityscape, where towering skyscrapers stand side by side with ancient shrines. Here, you’ll encounter the essence of modern Japan - bright, bold, and fascinating.

Next, you’ll find yourself in the timeless city of Kyoto, a place where Japan’s spiritual heart beats strongest. Walk among the tranquil temples and stunning shrines that dot the city and explore the historic Geisha district. Kyoto’s rich cultural heritage offers a peaceful counterbalance to the energy of Tokyo, and it’s here that you’ll truly begin to feel the rhythms of traditional Japan

 No trip to Japan would be complete without a journey into its lush, forested mountains. We’ll take you on a hike along the Nakasendo Way, a cobblestoned ancient trade route that connects Kyoto and Tokyo to this day - winding through picturesque villages and the stunning Japanese Alps. As you walk these historic paths, you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking vistas.

The tour continues with a visit to Hiroshima, a deeply poignant city that has risen from a traumatic past to become a beacon of peace, reflection and resilience. Here, you’ll explore the Peace Memorial Park before heading to the nearby island of Miyajima, where the famous Tori gate rises dramatically from the sea. This is a place where Japan’s spirituality is abundantly evident – a fitting reflection of Japan’s deep religious roots.

Of course, no journey to Japan would be complete without savouring its culinary delights. From sampling sake and soba noodles to enjoying a traditional matcha tea ceremony, your taste buds will be as engaged as your mind and body. You can also look forward to a soak in a traditional onsen – geothermally heated, possessing minerals believed to provide multiple health benefits – with the warm waters soothing your muscles and spirit.

Whether you choose to walk the Philosopher’s Path during the delicate beauty of cherry blossom season or the vibrant hues of autumn with wonderful acers, Japan’s natural landscapes will captivate you. Each season offers its own unique charm, from the pink petals of spring to the reds and golds of autumn.
