Tokyo to Tokyo – 14 Days
Discover the sacred and scenic landscapes of southern Japan on a journey that blends culture, adventure, and wellness. From Tokyo’s energy to Kyoto’s temples, this tour explores the country’s spiritual heartlands before heading south to the dramatic volcanoes and valleys of Kyushu. The Kumano Kodo, a network of ancient pilgrimage trails on the Kii Peninsula, is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its cultural and spiritual significance. These pilgrimage routes are among the world's most revered, drawing comparisons to the Camino de Santiago for their historical importance and spiritual journey. Walking these sacred trails, which are part of a globally celebrated world heritage, offers a unique connection to Japan’s rich traditions and natural beauty.
Highlights include hiking Mount Aso’s crater rim, watching sacred dances in Takachiho, relaxing in outdoor hot springs, and walking across forest suspension bridges. You’ll meet local artisans, visit samurai towns, and enjoy traditional meals in peaceful ryokans and scenic lodges. This is an active and immersive experience designed for travellers seeking deeper connection—through movement, local culture, and nature. Whether you’re trekking volcanic trails or soaking in a mountain onsen, Sacred Trails of Southern Japan offers a richly rewarding path into Japan’s lesser-known spiritual and natural beauty.
HIKING JAPAN’S VOLCANO TRAILS: Walk across the dramatic landscapes of Mount Aso and the Kuju Highlands, exploring crater rims and volcanic valleys. These treks offer panoramic views of dramatic mountain ranges, and encounters with Kyushu’s powerful natural forces, including challenging mountain passes that add to the adventure—making it ideal for travellers seeking active experiences in southern Japan’s highlands.
CULTURAL IMMERSION AND SACRED SITES: Discover the spiritual heritage of Japan through temple visits, traditional Yokagura dances in Takachiho, and listen to ancient myths that live on in these sacred places. From Kyoto’s UNESCO-listed shrines to cave temples in Nichinan, the tour reveals the country’s deep cultural roots and spiritual traditions. Experience the Kumano Sanzan—the three grand shrines of the Kumano region—which are revered Shinto shrines and important Kumano shrines, forming sacred areas that have drawn pilgrims for centuries.
CYCLING AND COUNTRYSIDE ADVENTURE: Enjoy a scenic bike ride through Takachiho’s quiet backroads, cycling past tea plantations and through picturesque river valleys, followed by a forest walk to Aya’s suspension bridge. These active experiences let you connect with the rural rhythm of life, offering a peaceful contrast to Japan’s bustling cities and showcasing Kyushu’s natural beauty.
HOT SPRINGS AND RYOKAN COMFORT: Unwind in soothing outdoor onsens, including volcanic sand baths and remote mountain hot springs. Stay in elegant ryokans and eco-lodges where traditional hospitality and nourishing meals complete each day’s adventure—an ideal way to relax after trekking and cycling through southern Japan’s most beautiful regions.
The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.
Explore southern Japan through active adventures and cultural immersion. Hike volcanoes, cycle countryside trails, visit sacred shrines, and relax in natural hot springs. Experience hiking popular ancient pilgrimage trails for first-time pilgrims seeking to explore Japan's sacred sites. This journey blends nature, mythology, and wellness, offering a unique perspective on Japan’s landscapes and traditions while staying in charming ryokans and scenic mountain lodges.
Arrive at Narita Airport and transfer to your hotel in central Tokyo. Visit Toyosu Fish Market, Japan’s largest seafood market, and see the day’s catch in action. Then explore Akihabara, the lively district known for electronics and anime. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner at a local restaurant.

Walk the Philosopher’s Path, a peaceful route lined with trees and small temples. Later, explore Kiyomizudera Temple, perched above the city with amazing views. This afternoon offers a glimpse into Kyoto’s beauty and spirituality. In the evening, stay at either a charming ryokan or the luxurious Ritz-Carlton by the Kamogawa River. Kyoto is slower, older, and deeply cultural—a complete change from the buzz of Tokyo.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Start the day at Ryoan-ji Temple and see its famous Zen rock garden, a place made for quiet thought. Then head to the Arashiyama district, cross the scenic Togetsukyo Bridge, and explore the tranquil bamboo grove near Tenryuji Temple. Take your time walking through this serene landscape. The afternoon is yours—perhaps take a boat ride on the Hozu River or explore shops and cafés in Kyoto’s centre. The day balances calm beauty and free exploration. Kyoto’s charm lies in its quiet corners, natural scenery, and elegant old-world feel. Return to your accommodation for the night.

On arrival, begin a gentle walk through the countryside, breathing in the fresh mountain air. You’ll stay in a quiet hot spring lodge surrounded by nature. After your walk, enjoy a relaxing soak in the mineral-rich onsen baths. Dinner tonight is homemade and comforting, made with local ingredients. This is a slower, more peaceful side of Japan, far from the cities. It’s a place to truly switch off.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Today begins with a hike up Kuju-dake and Naka-dake, where you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Afterwards, drive to the small hot spring village of Kurokawa. Pause here for a rejuvenating soak before continuing to Mount Aso, Japan’s largest active volcano. You’ll stay overnight in a traditional ryokan, with a local dinner that reflects the region’s rich food culture. This day combines nature, adventure, and hot spring relaxation. With dramatic landscapes and quiet villages, this part of Kyushu offers a deeper connection to Japan’s volcanic geography and traditional way of life.

Meals Included: Breakfast
Drive along the scenic Aso Panorama Line, enjoying sweeping countryside views. Arrive in Takachiho, a town known for its ties to Japanese mythology.

You’ll feel refreshed, grounded, and closer to Japan’s quiet landscapes.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Begin with a visit to Aya Castle and try your hand at traditional Japanese crafts such as pottery, weaving, or indigo dyeing. Then travel along the Nichinan coast, with dramatic views of the sea. Stop at Udo-jingu Shrine, built into a seaside cave and surrounded by crashing waves. Later, explore Obi Castle and the well-preserved samurai houses nearby. Enjoy matcha tea and sweets at a traditional teahouse. The day blends coastal scenery, hands-on learning, and heritage architecture. Spend the night at a hotel overlooking the sea, where you can relax with the sound of waves.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Head into the Kirishima mountains, where steam rises from volcanic vents. Hike up Takachiho-no-mine Peak, a sacred site with sweeping views. Walk through rugged volcanic paths and reach Shiratori hot spring, surrounded by trees and mineral pools. Relax in an open-air bath and soak in the healing waters.
