Soothing and reviving onsen hot springs are found in many regions of Japan and great cuisine exists across the length and breadth of the nation. Walk Japan’s Onsen Gastronomy series of tours make the most of these wonderful attributes combining them with very comfortable, short distance walking.
These five days tours have an especial focus on three of Japan’s greatest delights; luxuriating in Japan’s famed onsen hot spring baths, feasting on beautifully prepared and presented Japanese delicacies, and savouring wonderful nihonshu sakes and other local brews. Our walking consists of leisurely strolls in pleasant countryside and are limited up to 5km (3.1 miles), but average between 2 - 3km (1.3 - 1.9 miles) each day.
On our travels, we also visit sites of interest related to local culinary pursuits, crafts and culture. The Walk Japan Tour Leader’s expertise is frequently complemented in each region we visit by local producers and experts on food, drink or crafts who provide us with insights into their specialities.
