Why Book with Really Rural Japan?
A few reasons why Really Rural Japan is the obvious choice for booking a tour on the Nakasendo:
We are a small family run business actually based in the Kiso Valley, living and working right alongside the Nakasendo.
We wrote theguidebook to the Nakasendo which is sold locally, online, and is included in every Nakasendo multi-day tour.
Our unique standpoint of being local guides, book writers, and also being a fully licensed travel agency means that our tours go deeper and further than anyone else. Why go with anyone else?
Self Guided Tours
Recommended for those who prioritise time, space and freedom, self guided tours are hiking tours with local support but without a guide. How does it work?
You decide the tour you want and the dates.
We book your inns, daily luggage deliveries, taxis and anything else necessary.
We write you a personalised itinerary with detailed instructions and recommendations on what to do, where to eat, etc.
We give you our guidebooks and gps maps so you really can’t get lost, bear bells to keep you safe, and support you during your time here with local telephone support. The rest is up to you.
