Japanese Alps

Adventure Holidays to the Japanese Alps

Less well-known than their European namesake, but equally dramatic, the Japanese Alps stretch from central Honshu to the far north of the island, and offer world-class trekking as well as picturesque towns, temples and castles.

High on any trekker's list should be the ascent of Yarigatake, the 'Japanese Matterhorn', whilst those searching for a cultural experience shouldn't miss the black castle of Matsumoto or the traditional architecture of Takayama, nestled in the foothills of some of Asia's most spectacular peaks. 

The trips below all spend time in the Japanese Alps.
