Welcome to Walk Japan

Walk Japan has been offering 'off the beaten track' tours and walking holidays in Japan since 1992. Since then we have taken many satisfied customers into the Japan, geographically and socially, that is not easily accessible to most visitors to the country.

Why can we do this? Because the staff at Walk Japan have many decades of experience with Japan and a great liking for its people and ways. Time Asia describes our bilingual guides as 'the quiet stars of the show' with 'a mine of general knowledge about the country'.

We take you into a 'hidden' Japan to explore, understand and enjoy its food, customs, society and history. Or, as BusinessWeek says for '...a fascinating and intimate peek into Japan...'. Walk Japan brings to you a country that is at once familiar, exotic, intriguing, challenging but always full of pleasant surprises.

Walk Japan's classic and popular Nakasendo Way tour — listed in the best-selling books 1,000 Places to See Before You Die and The Rough Guide to Ultimate Adventures - is now complemented by our Shogun Trail, Kunisaki Trek - listed in National Geographic's Sacred Places of a Lifetime: 500 of the World's Most Peaceful and Powerful Destinations - and Hokkaido Hiking tours. All our tours and walking holidays are crafted with the same care that has made the Nakasendo Way so successful. We are currently adding more walking and hiking tours of Japan - introducing other areas of this enthralling country.

Whether you are travelling alone, or with a partner, family or friends you will receive a warm welcome and have a fascinating time on a scheduled Walk Japan tour. We also create custom tours tailored to specific requirements for schools, societies, groups of friends and families, and to celebrate special occasions such as a graduation, birthday or wedding anniversary.
