This is a 11 night, multi location, group travel adventure exploring the fascinating country of Japan.

It is an immersive and adventurous experience, that will take guests from Tokyo, to Kyoto, on to Kunisaki Peninsula and finally ending in Osaka, where guests will experience all the culture, food and nature that Japan has to offer!

Our escapes are active, and Japan is no exception. Although all activities are designed to suit most people’s abilities we do advise a basic level of fitness in order to keep up with the group.
Days will be spent on our feet for the most part, and our time in Kunisaki Peninsula will include a 40km cycling tour and 10km trek.

Japan (in our opinion) is not a country where you visit only one area if you want to truly experience it. Therefore we will be moving around to ensure guests have the most immersive and unforgettable experience possible.

Guests can expect to move to a new location approximately every 3 days, and travel days will vary from 2-3 hours, up to a maximum of 6 hours.

October in Japan is the bridge between Summer and Autumn. Guests can expect mostly warm sunny days in the mid-20’s (Celsius), however should be prepared for potentially chilly evenings. October is also a month where Monsoons may be present in the near vicinity so rain is possible for certain sections of the escape.

No this experience is neither “luxury” or “budget”.
We specifically chose accommodation partners that offered beautiful yet affordable accommodation to ensure we can deliver a comfortable, enjoyable experience that can suit most people’s budgets.
All accommodation is what we would consider to be 3 star and above.

Japan is a nation that consumes a lot of seafood, and a lot of soy. If you are allergic to either of these things then we would unfortunately advise against you joining us for this escape.

Other allergies can be managed, but please understand that communication is often challenging and therefore if your allergy is severe (life threatening) then your choice of food may be limited to what we can guarantee is safe.

Serious allergies and complex dietary needs can be difficult to manage in some countries due to often a lack of understanding from kitchen staff when it comes to contamination of certain foods/products. Our priority is always guest’s health as well as (of course) their enjoyment of the escape, therefore in some circumstances we may advise against people with allergies attending this escape.

The escape will start in Tokyo and end in Osaka, both of which have international airports.
We therefore recommend guests book arrival flights to Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND), that will arrive in the morning or early afternoon on Day 1 of the escape, and depart from Osaka International Airport (KIX) on Day 12.
