Walk Japan is the pioneer of off-the-beaten-track walking tours in Japan. Beginning in 1992 with our innovative and best-selling Nakasendo Way tour, we were the first to successfully introduce the real Japan—geographically and culturally—that often remains inaccessible to many. Since then, Walk Japan has created more original tours and has been recognised for its work, including selection by National Geographic as one of the 200 Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth.
Walk Japan’s tours bring this fascinating country up close by mixing in with its people and their way of life. We use public transport, delightful local inns and family-run restaurants.
All our tour leaders are proficient in the Japanese language and have an intimate knowledge of Japan and its people. Our customers and many travel writers rate us highly for our enthusiasm, friendliness, knowledge of Japan and professionalism.
