An ancient empire steeped in traditions and spirituality, Japan is justifiably one of the most lucrative countries in the world.
It is not only known for world-class cuisine, dedication to preserving centuries of history, and work ethic but also for mesmerizing views, from misty forests to the iconic silhouette of Mt. Fuji rising above the clouds.
Japan invites you to walk in the footsteps of emperors, samurai, and pilgrims, creating an unforgettable journey through time and nature.
Whether following the sacred Kumano Kodo, scaling Mt. Fuji at sunrise, or challenging yourself in the Northern Alps, Japan’s trails offer solitude, breathtaking views, and a deep connection with the land’s cultural heritage.
The country’s reverence for nature, combined with its impeccable organization, public transport, and well-maintained routes, makes hiking here a physical and spiritual adventure. You will soon find yourself in love with Japanese hospitality by staying in traditional Ryokan inns and mountain huts.
Japan will continue to surprise you and unveil its magnificence with every step you take – whether you’re marveling at the picture-perfect cherry blossoms in spring or the vibrant autumn foliage, hiking the rocky volcanic trails of Mt. Fuji’s Fujinomiya Route, or strolling the historic paths of the Nakasendo Trail.
Perhaps it’s time to brush up on your ‘Konnichiwa’ and ‘Arigato’ and start dreaming of a bowl of steaming ramen after a day of exploring Japan’s ancient trails!
