JAPAN TREKKING VACATION, NORTH FROM TOKYO

This Japan walking vacation starts in Tokyo and heads north, off the traditional tourist trail and

into serene, spiritual natural and cultural landscapes. There are some classic sites en route, however, such as the UNESCO Toshogu shrine at Nikko, a stunning area protected by national park status. We continue to the three sacred peaks of Dewa Sanzan where pilgrims gather, and where we have a chance to stay at a shukubo, or temple lodging.
