Easy walking tours – the best way to experience Japan

Our tours give you an in-depth experience Japan by giving you plenty of easy walking, rather than confining you in coaches.

  • You can experience more, because our itinerary is flexible,
  • Visit centuries old landscape gardens and buildings maintained and preserved in original condition,
  • See art and craft traditions kept alive in affordable artifacts and everyday objects that make real souvenirs,
  • Enjoy the taste and texture of a range of cuisines,
  • See unique and famous natural landscapes,
  • Feel the vibe of the modern city, and contrast it with an exploration of a fishing village.

We keep numbers at 3 – 8 guests so as to maximize your experience, and we overcome the barriers of language and culture.

Getting around in Japan can be complicated, however with our knowledge the logistics are made easy.

Our groups are small so that you can really interact with the finer grain of the Japanese Culture.
