YOUR TRIP DESIGN, PACE & FLEXIBILITY: This itinerary is fully private and designed for active travellers, running from Kyoto through Japan’s most scenic and heritage-rich regions towards Tokyo or Osaka. We will advise the most efficient routing to balance cycling, trekking and cultural touring with realistic travel times and recovery, then refine the day-by-day with you. Signature active days include the Shimanami Kaido cycle ride, sections of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trails, and a sacred trek in the Mount Hakusan area, with time for hot springs and slower-paced sightseeing between. Weather, trail access and daylight hours influence timings, so we build sensible buffers.
PRIVATE GUIDES, DRIVERS & ON-THE-GROUND SUPPORT: This is a premium private journey with expert local guides arranged for key cultural days and the most important hiking/cycling sections, plus carefully coordinated private transfers where they add comfort and efficiency. We manage seamless arrivals, hotel check-ins and timed logistics around trains and activity starts, so you are met where it matters and the trip flows smoothly. For the active sections, we coordinate routing, safety planning and on-the-ground support, and we can tailor daily distances to your fitness and interests. If conditions change (rain, wind, trail closures), we re-sequence the programme to protect the best experiences.
ACCOMMODATION STANDARDS & MEAL BASIS: Accommodation is selected at a premium level to match the demands of an active itinerary, combining high-comfort hotels with traditional ryokan and onsen-style stays where they enhance the experience. On pilgrimage and mountain sections, you may use simple, authentic mountain huts where comfort is basic but location is exceptional; we set expectations clearly and balance these nights with higher-comfort stays before and after. Breakfast is typically included, with other meals shaped around the route—more inclusive dining in remote areas and greater flexibility in cities. Dietary needs can often be accommodated with advance notice, but options narrow in huts and rural areas.
FLIGHTS, VISAS, HEALTH & TRAVEL INSURANCE: International flights are optional: we can arrange the trip as land-only, or include flights as a flight-inclusive package under our ATOL (where applicable). The itinerary typically combines Japan’s rail network (including bullet trains) with private transfers and activity logistics, and the overall activity level is moderate to strenuous with sustained walking, steps, uneven trails and cycling days. Sensible footwear, layered clothing and a practical daypack matter. Entry requirements depend on your passport; we will guide you on typical requirements and timing, while you remain responsible for compliance. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential, including cover for cycling and trekking.
COSTING, PAYMENTS, CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS: Tailor-made pricing is built from live supplier rates (premium hotels/ryokans, guides, transfers, rail arrangements, equipment support and any reserved activity services), so availability and costs can change until bookings are secured. Key price drivers include seasonality (cherry blossom and autumn periods), limited-inventory ryokan and mountain-hut space, and guide availability for peak dates. Some services may require advance payments to secure space; we will confirm exactly what is due and by when before taking payment. Changes after booking can trigger supplier fees or rate differences; we will explain the impact before actioning changes and provide clear documentation of deadlines and terms.
