A new adventure is calling—and this time, we’re taking you to Japan. 🇯🇵
Our newest Ryder-Walker journey heads deep into the Japanese Alps—where ancient cedar forests, sacred trails, high alpine ridgelines, and timeless mountain villages come together in one extraordinary adventure.
Hike the legendary Nakasendo Trail between Magome and Tsumago. Ride gondolas into the high country of the Central and Northern Alps. Explore the volcanic landscapes of Tateyama before finishing in the dramatic mountain valley of Kamikochi.
The best part - traditional Japanese cuisine, beautiful mountain inns, and an onsen waiting at day’s end.
Designed by Ryder-Walker guide Erik Larsen and Japan-based partner Takuma Matsutani, this is our first-ever guided journey through the Japan Alps.
Send this to your travel buddy and start planning your next great adventure.
