Japan in the Details

Active trips through old roads, post towns, temples, coastlines, rural inns, and beautifully unexpected moments

Japan is a country of grand icons and tiny revelations, and the tiny ones often win. A cedar forest after rain. A shrine tucked beside a quiet lane. Dinner at a rural inn. A fishing harbor waking up. A vending machine exactly where you needed it. Pedalers trips in Japan use cycling and walking to reach the country between the famous sights, from Kyoto country and Shikoku’s historic towns to the old post roads of the Nakasendo. The result is active travel with texture: thoughtful, scenic, delicious, occasionally odd, and deeply satisfying.
