Walk Japan has expanded its tour offerings with two new journeys combining hot springs, regional cuisine, and scenic walking routes.

The first is Onsen Gastronomy: Kiso in Nagano, a guided five-day, four-night tour combining onsen hot spring bathing with regional cuisine in the Kiso Valley. The tour includes visits to Edo-period post towns such as Kiso-Fukushima and Narai, and walks along pilgrimage trails to Mount Ontake. It operates year-round, with activities including alpine cable car rides from spring to autumn and snowshoeing in winter.
