1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Japan is an East Asian archipelago renowned for its extraordinary blend of ancient tradition and cutting-edge modernity. Tokyo, the sprawling capital, draws visitors with its iconic neighbourhoods, world-class food scene, and vibrant nightlife, while the sacred Mount Fuji — Japan's highest peak at 3,776 m — is a bucket-list climb and UNESCO World Heritage site. Further north, Hokkaido and its capital Sapporo are celebrated for some of Asia's best powder skiing, the famous Sapporo Snow Festival, and wide open national parks rich in wildlife and hot springs. Independent and group travellers are pulled by Japan's seamless rail network, deep cultural experiences, and the sheer variety of landscapes and adventures packed into a single country.

Active Japan: Mt Fuji & Hokkaido — Self-Launched

A self-launched reworking of G Adventures' 12-day "Active Japan: Mt Fuji & Hokkaido" active small-group tour. You follow the same arc — summit Mt Fuji via the Subashiri/Yoshida trail and an overnight mountain hut, two days of Tokyo sightseeing, a cheap domestic flight north to Hokkaido's Shiretoko National Park, the volcanic sulphur fields and hot-spring beach at Lake Kussharo, an Ainu cultural night at Lake Akan, a ryokan onsen stay, the Asahidake ropeway hike in Daisetsuzan, and ramen plus beer in Sapporo. Everything is booked yourself: Japan's superb public transport (Shinkansen, highway buses, local trains), budget business hotels and hostels, capsule or dorm nights, and walk-up or GetYourGuide-booked local hikes. Expect ~£1,050-1,250 for 12 days excluding international flights — roughly half the group-tour price.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Japan (Tokyo, Mt Fuji, Hokkaido & Sapporo) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
