- The Nakasendo Trail or 'Road through the Central Mountains' was part of feudal Japan's network of highways. Stretching all the way from Tokyo to Kyoto, the 533km Nakasendo trail is jam-packed with Japanese traditional culture, architecture, shops and ambiance. Walking the Nakasendo trail from village to village is a great way to sample Japan's rural scenery.

- Synonymous with the natural beauty and the pursuit of spiritual perfection, Shikoku is encircled by 88 Temple Pilgrimage Trail. Pilgrims have walked the trail for 1200 years and even today we can see pilgrims in their distinctive white attire throughout the island of Shikoku. You'll walk on some of the best sections of the pilgrimage trail to experience the special pilgrimage atmosphere.

- The Kumano Kodo is a series of ancient pilgrimage routes that crisscross the Kii Hantō, the largest Peninsula of Japan. These sacred trails were and are used for the pilgrimage to the sacred site "Kumano Sanzan” and is one of only two pilgrimage routes recognised by UNESCO.

- The Shinetsu Trail is an 80km woodland trail that follows the ridge of the Sekida Mountain Range on the border between Nagano and Niigata Prefectures in the alpine region of central Japan. The trail is regarded as the best woodland trail. Located around 1,000m above sea level, it's one of the few long trails in Japan.

- Climb one of Japan’s 100 famous mountains, Mt Meakan in Hokkaido, an active volcano. Follow the trail to the summit before heading down to Lake Onneto for a spectacular view of the volcanoes and forests from the lakeshore

- Mt. Fuji, Japan's highest mountain, has been the destination of pilgrimage for centuries and inspired artists and poets with its peerless beauty. UNESCO granted Mt. Fuji World Heritage status in 2013. Walk up the incredible mountain on the Subaru line and be blessed with incredible views high above the clouds.

- On the island of Kyushu, hike to the summit of the active volcano, Mt Aso with one of the largest calderas in the world with numerous craters.
