Walking Tours of Japan 2021 & 2022
Beauty of Journey to the East's 2021 Walking Tours of Japan is their spontaneity. Because of the small group size (maximum of 8), and light, pack free walks of about 8-10 kilometres per walk, you don't have to march all day. You may come across a Sunday flea market where you would pick up piece antique Arita ware or just pop into a lovely coffee shop for some people-watching. You could stop for a conversation with local kids, or listen to an intriguing historical tale from our guide at a local shrine.
We made the walking in Japan easy for you. The tours are designed around exciting themes and the courses are selected carefully to highlight Japan's spirituality, traditional cultures and pristine nature. Safe and comfortable accommodation, transport, guides and luggage transfers have been arranged. While the tours are flexible and can be enjoyed by any fit and active people, the main participants of our walking tours are people between 50's and 70's.
Now, all you have to bring with you is a good pair of comfortable walking shoes, an inquisitive mind and adventurous spirit. Talk to us about what you are looking for, and let us help you to create an extraordinary holiday walking in Japan in 2021.

Had a fabulous time with a great group of people. I loved the country, the culture, the people and everything about the tour – hope to do another tour with JTTE – maybe Hokkaido or Kyushu next time

This was my first trip with JTTE and already I am looking at the program for next year thinking about another one. I liked the fact that it was a small group, the organisation was spot on and the food everywhere was outstanding.
