TRED EDO-ERA PATHS AND VIBRANT CITY STREETS: JAPAN HIKING TOURS

When you think of hiking in Japan, you may be drawn to the mysteries of a once-isolated ancient culture and the serenity of Buddhist and Shinto teachings. Perhaps images of Tokyo’s bustling streets filled with neon signs and impressive skyscrapers give your heart a thrill. Maybe it’s the notion of sipping green tea in tatami-matted rooms and open air bathing at an onsen (Japanese hot springs). This country’s fascinating history dates back to the days of shoguns and samurai and is wholly captivating. Then again, the wonderful art scene and delicious cuisine could speak to you. Whatever sparks your wanderlust, you’ll discover all you imagined and more on a Boundless Journeys Japan tour.

Be immersed in the full breadth of modern and traditional Japanese culture as you walk an Edo-era route on our Nakasendo Trail hiking tour. Your adventure begins in the cultural and traditional heart of Japan, Kyoto. At Nijo Castle, you’ll learn about the Edo Period and participate in a traditional tea ceremony. Outside the city, you’ll follow trails through the Kitayama Mountains to Kibune, where samurai trained with mountain Buddhist practitioners. Your culture tour route takes you into Nara, Japan’s first capital city, and through varied portions of the Naksendo that are always picturesque and sometimes challenging. Your adventure is punctuated with a Tokyo walking tour that explores the Asakusa shopping district, Buddhist temples, and Shinto shrines.

Experience the extraordinary with Boundless Journeys, where adventure travel seamlessly blends curated excellence with personalized service, all against the backdrop of Japan’s captivating beauty.
