Adventure in Japan
14 days / 13 nights
Japan has a wild side. Behind the formal tea ceremonies and delicate geishas is a world of outdoor adventure among spectacular scenery just waiting to be explored. For travelers looking for active outdoor fun – as well as some traditional culture – Wondertrunk has created a very special seasonal Insider Itinerary that mixes exciting urban and rural landscapes. With activities like river rafting, canyoning, trekking, and cycling, travelers have the opportunity to experience Japan from many different vantage points. A view into the inaka (rural) lifestyle is also included, with visits to charming historic towns in the mountains. Rounding out the journey is an enlightening dose of must-see sightseeing spots in Tokyo and Kyoto, as well as some free time for you to explore the cities on your own.
Destinations

All of our itineraries can be customized to match your preferences and travel style. From the full luxury experience to a more independent style of trip, we tailor every aspect to your needs.
Bike along Kyoto’s winding streets and trek through spectacular scenery in the Japanese Alps. Use your day at leisure in Kyoto to hike the secluded Mt. Kurama.
