Our Japan journeys

These are some of our favourite Japan journeys, which we hope will help kick-start your planning. We tailor each and every holiday to suit you and your preferences - you call the shots, and we make it happen.

A Yūgen Path to Shikoku

Honshu & Shikoku

Whether you’re seeing Japan for the first time or returning to explore further, the route less travelled towards Shikoku offers a core of history and culture that’s deeply connected to Japan’s natural heartbeat. Make your way from Osaka to the folklore-rich gardens of Okayama, and cross to Shikoku for a change of pace. Stand on the line where art and nature meet in Naoshima, hop on two wheels to ride the Shimanami Kaido trail, and connect with a gentler side to Japan.

Beyond the Golden Route

Between the big cities

Japan has so much more nuance and variation to offer beyond its cinematic headliners. Taking inspiration from the Japanese art of kintsugi - repairing objects with gold - we’ve shattered Japan’s classic ‘Golden Route’ and bonded it back together with a little more samurai history, scenic views, lesser-visited cities, spirituality, and a touch of coastal connection.

Following Ancient Trails

Japan’s walking trails

Wander along the ancient trails of Kumano Kodo and its spiritual shrines, enjoying the peaceful, and enchanting surroundings as well as taking in the hospitality of local families along the way. A serene and meditative walking tour such as this can be part of a larger itinerary, or be the centre of a trip in its own right.
