Upcoming Tours to Japan
For tours beyond these dates, please submit your expression of interest via the form below and we will be in contact.
Most places on our tours are offered twin or triple share. If you do not have a travelling companion but are willing to share a room most nights, please let us know, as we may know of another person of the same sex also happy to share.
We are also very happy to discuss the option of a private tour for a group (minimum 8 people).
If you are concerned about the length or difficulty of some days on the itinerary, please contact us to discuss the options we have to shorten these days.
Dates for our upcoming tours are set out below
Koyasan and Kumano Kodo Walking Tours
On the Spring & Autumn tours we visit Koyasan before walking the entire 70km of the Nakahechi route of the Kumano Kodo as pilgrims have done since ancient times. Although sections of this walk may be challenging for some, we are rewarded with amazing scenery along the way. Both tours include two nights in the Hongu area. The Spring tour coincides with the annual Kumano Hongu Taisha Spring Festival held each year on 15 April. Find out more about these regions.
Anyone completing one of these walks and Spain’s Camino de Santiago is eligible to become a dual pilgrim.
