An Unfiltered Travel Guide & Photo Diary
Wander off the beaten path away from Japan's big cities and popular sites with this 11-day tour that takes you to destinations that are often overlooked. Visit the treasured castle of Matsumoto and learn about samurai culture, explore the quaint city of Hagi by bicycle, and settle in at a community homestay to truly immerse yourself in the local culture. Of course, there's time before and after to explore Tokyo and Kyoto, making this trip a well-rounded glimpse into Japan's past and present.
While many travelers stick to Japan's 'golden route' of major cities, this tour is for those who prefer to balance urban exploration with rural immersion. If you'd rather trade a few city days for a homestay in a castle town and a visit to the Japanese Alps, this itinerary offers a more diverse and intimate perspective on the country's culture and landscapes.
