    I did this tour in Nov/Dec and had an absolutely amazing time. Japan is a fascinating country and we visited a mix of urban and rural areas. As a keen walker the highlight for me was walking the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route on the Kii peninsula walking through the mountain valleys between the 3 holy shrines. The train journey from Osaka to Tanabe on the Kii peninsula is stunning. Another highlight was walking part of the Nakasendo trail an ancient route between Kyoto and Tokyo that is now a walking route in the Kiso valley visiting the old post stations (juku) such as Magome and Tsumago. At Kawaguchiko we were lucky to have a perfectly clear view of Mt Fuji. Travel was mostly by train including bullet train and buses in some mountainous areas that the train does not go to. Our accommodation was a mix of western style hotels in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nagoya and ryokan(traditional Japanese style) in the rural areas. We had private guides in nearly all the locations we went to. Each day of walking was followed by delicious Japanese style dinner and soaking in the onsen - pure bliss. I would highly recommend this tour if you enjoy walking and would like to see a lesser known part of Japan.

    If you are looking to see the absolute raw side of Japanese culture and countryside with lots of activities and walking, then this is the best tour I can recommend. Yes we saw the highlights but we also got to see places that I would have never expected to see in Japan. The Kumano Kodo region was spectacular. You will spend your days walking the pilgrims once done by the Emperors and officials in Japan ending in traditional ryokans and guesthouses (minishiku's) with amazing traditional meals. Be sure to try the onsens too. Highly recommend this tour for anyone adventurous and looking for something very different from their trip to Japan.
