Uncover Hidden Japan with Remote Lands
Japan's cultural icons - geishas, sushi, sumo wrestlers, Mount Fuji, Tsukiji fish market et al - draw in millions of tourists every year, and rightly so. Japan's culture is truly one of a kind, making it a dazzling, disorientating place to visit. But beyond the must-sees, there is another Japan - gentle, natural, wild, beautiful. And it is this other Japan we are focusing on in our latest newsletter, as we take you to little-known Chugoku, cycling around beauiful Kyushu, going underwater in Okinawa, and going back in time on the Noto Peninsula.
Planning a Japan trip independently can be challenging indeed, so why not relax and let us do the work? We will discuss your needs and then come up with the perfect itinerary for you, whether it is your first trip to the country's famous sites, or if it's a repeat visit in greater depth.
