Hiking · JAPAN
Good mountain and summit hikes in Japan fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes, and how they differ once you are on the trail.
Review of Mt. Takao’s private hike from Tokyo, with temple views, trail choices, Fuji sightings, an onsen soak, and practical tips.
“My most memorable part of the trip was reaching the top of Mt Takao and viewing Mt Fuji from there. Our guide, Hiroko was so kind to help and answer questions regarding the history of not only Mt Takao but the surrounding area.”
Hike Hakone Hachiri from Lake Ashi to Mishima with a certified guide, historic trails, Mt Fuji views, local buses, and Edo-era sights.
“The tour included hiking on quiet trails and then exploring the region by bus and by foot. It was a very rewarding experience. Akihiro was very kind and good natured and knowledgeable about history and nature, and he took us to places we wouldn’t have even know about. We had a fabulous time.”
Walk Japan’s historic Nakasendo Trail from Magome to Tsumago with a private guide, mountain views, waterfalls, village history, and included buses.
“Our guide Ryo was awesome! He was very knowledgeable about the area (he grew up in the area of the Nakasendo Trail). Great attitude and very enthusiastic. Highly recommended!”
Hike Mt. Futaba from Hiroshima Station, visit shrines and red torii gates, enjoy a bento breakfast, tea, and sweeping city views.
“It was a very nice and informative Tour. Our Guide Michi told us a lot about Hiroshima, Japan and Religion. The views from summit of the Mount have been very nice.”
By the kind of day you want, or the country you are standing in.
