This is our most popular trip in Japan. We ascend mountain trails and take valley hikes to get a measure of the landscape and its centuries-long history of hermitage and pilgrimage. The 'backroads' theme continues even in the cities as we explore the heart of teeming Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Our itinerary includes an ascent of one of the mountains close to Mt.
