Kumano Kodo, Japan | Adventure Tour 7 Days

Japan is one of the most enchanting countries in the world. A place where history and the ultra-modern world coexist and work in harmony. The stunning, diverse landscape with mountains and breathtaking views, offers an array of different experiences. If you haven’t had the chance to visit, now is the time.

On this tour we visit Kyoto, a city filled with traditional temples, shrines and beautiful Japanese gardens. The power of these ‘zen’ gardens is incredible, you’ll feel at peace and relaxed (trust me). The main segment of this tour is the Kumano Kodo trail, an ancient pilgrimage route that has been used for over 1000 years. We’ll spend 3 days hiking along different sections of the trail, passing through small villages, beautiful temples, and shrines. On this trail, you’ll feel a special connection to the land, the culture, and the people. It truly is a magical place. The hiking days are full days taking you through majestic country so you will need to be able to hike a full day to fully enjoy these trails- which are awesome!

What others have said

“WOW! Just wow, what a trip! From the food, the culture and the hiking, this place is magical! Exploring Kyoto on our bikes was probably one of the highlights and the onsen (spa) was very fun! We added the Tokyo tour as well which I would highly recommend.” Julie
