Japan - The Land of Rising Sun!

Matsumoto Hakuba Sado Island Dewasanzan Yamagata

For thrill seekers, Japan is one of the best hiking destinations in the world, with great mountain scenery from spring to winter, well-kept trails and a variety of mountain hut accommodation. If you’re looking for a much more beautiful hiking experience that escapes the major tourist trails, this 10-day Northern Trail of Japan Tour is a fantastic option for you. Offering many opportunities of admiring the unique landscapes of breathtaking alpine forests, white snow summits or towering hardwoods, this hiking trip provides the highlights of the region, from the old folk house of Matsumoto and the Hakuba lake to the majestic mounts of Dewasanzan with ancient shrines and temples. For nature enthusiasts, this journey also features a 2-day hike to take in the superb nature landscapes of Sado, the biggest isolated island in Japan. And last but not least, taking a dip in an onsen is completely a special after-hike treat you should not miss out during this Japan hiking tour.
