Itinerary
Day 01 / Arrive Tokyo
Arrive in Tokyo at any time.
Days 02-03 / Iya Valley
From bustling Tokyo we head to the remote Iya Valley on Shikoku Island. The best way to see Iya’s amazing Oboke Gorge is by boat – or in a raft, as this is one of the best White Water Rafting spots in Japan!
Days 04-05 / Kurashiki
We get a glimpse of old Japan at Kuarashiki, a picturesque town in central Japan which has retained much of its old world charm with beautifully preserved black and white walled merchants’ homes and storehouses. An amazing bike ride takes us through the Kibi Plains, surrounded by bamboo forests and ancient burial grounds.
Days 06-07 / Mt. Aso
Sitting inside the world’s largest caldera, this small town is a great base for our journey up to one of Japan’s most infamous active volcano. Dare to look over the edge and get a glimpse of bubbling lava - weather (and courage) permitting!
Days 08-10 / Kyoto
Spend three nights in the traditional heart of Japan, which gives you plenty of time to experience some of the many great walks through temples and teahouses, shrines and shops, and maybe even spot a real life geisha!
Days 11-12 / Hakuba
From culture to nature, head deep into the magnificent Japanese Alps for some outdoor fun – canoeing or kayaking, mountain biking or trekking, the choice is yours!
Day 13 / Tokyo
Head back to Tokyo for our farewell dinner.
Day 14 / Depart Tokyo
