Kumano Ancient Trail
In the footsteps of Emperors
Join as travellers and leave as friends. Discover Japan on a small-group guided tours with one of our professional Japanese bilingual guides. By keeping the group small - up to 12 fellow travelers plus your guide - you get to travel like a group of friends. Our guides all have a passion for their country and for explaining its traditions, food, society, and history to foreign visitors. There is no better way to learn about a destination than with a local.
See Japan up close, not through the windows of a tour bus. We use the excellent Japanese train and bus network to get around and send your luggage ahead so you can travel light.
If you would like to do one of our group tours but the dates don't work or you would like to travel with a group of friends, we will be happy to create a private departure for you. Please get in contact.
