Take a Japan Holiday with Himalayan Kingdoms and experience the
peace of mind that only comes with a company with our
reputation.
Our Japan holidays take you away from the soaring sky-scrapers
and high-tech modern world to an unhurried land of mountains and
monasteries linked by ancient winding trails through forests of
rhododendron. Our treks are led by a British guide who speaks
fluent Japanese and has an in-depth knowledge of the country
built up from childhood. We use a variety of good quality
accommodation of character including traditional family inns and
Buddhist temples.
Infact, a Japan holiday with Himalayan Kingdoms takes you into
the spiritual and cultural heartland of this ancient and
fascinating country.
The Imperial Pilgrimage Route
This trek provides an excellent
introduction to this unique society. You will visit ancient
cities, natural hot springs and landscaped gardens, stay in
comfortable family run inns and mountain monasteries and enjoy
local delicacies and superb hospitality. You will trek in the
sacred and beautiful mountains of the Kii Peninsula following
the pilgrimage route of the ancient emperors to the Kumano
shrines and you will enjoy the beautiful spring flowers or
sumptuous autumnal foliage. This is a chance to experience the
true spirit of Japan.
The Mountains of Central Japan
This trip features some of
the finest hiking trails in Japan including those over the holy
mountain, Haku-san, and in the North Alps in Kamikochi. The
ridges and peaks offer stunning views and Mount Fuji can be seen
on clear days. Japanese Macaque monkeys and deer are common
sights. In addition you will have time in the cities of
Matsumoto, Kanazawa, Nara and Kyoto where you will visit
historic temples and castles and be able to compare ancient
Japan with the modern day society.
