EF Adventures introduces the ‘Japan Multi-Adventure: The Japanese Alps & Shikoku,’ a 12-day journey (or 14 days with a Kyoto extension) designed to reveal Japan’s quieter, lesser-traveled side beyond its bustling metropolises. Priced from $6,899 before flights, the itinerary combines hiking, cycling, rafting, and cultural exploration, offering a balance of activity and reflection across varied landscapes.
From “the alpine beauty of Kamikochi’s mountain valleys to the island-hopping bridges of the Seto Inland Sea, travelers encounter Japan’s natural and cultural contrasts.” Highlights include “paddling on Lake Nojiri, rafting through the Oboke Gorge, climbing 1,368 steps to Konpira Shrine, and cycling the world-renowned Shimanami Kaido.”
Immersive experiences round out the adventure: stays in boutique ryokans, soaks in Dōgo Onsen, explorations of Himeji Castle, and meals ranging from Osaka’s lively street snacks to refined kaiseki cuisine. The result is a journey that celebrates Japan’s rhythm, heritage, and quiet beauty.
