The calls of the wild in Japan are irresistible, from top to bottom. Go in search of them and you’ll find a land made from lush and unspoiled UNESCO-listed wilderness.
Japan’s northernmost region of Hokkaido is home to Shiretoko National Park - considered the last unexplored haven of Japan, where tall mountains and roaring waterfalls await.
Discover breathtaking vistas in Tohoku at Shirakami Sanchi, a mountain range with magnificent hiking trails and some of the most vivid blue waters you’ll ever see.
In Wakayama, embark on the UNESCO World Heritage listed pilgrimage routes of Kumano Kodo to reach the three Grand Shrines of Kumano.
In the mystical island of Yakushima in Kagoshima lies a forest of thousand-year-old cedar trees that inspired the setting for Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film Princess Mononoke.
Japan by sea is just as exhilarating as on land.
The islands of Japan will leave you breathless, from the white sandy beaches and fishing mecca of the Goto Islands in Nagasaki to whale watching and swimming with dolphins at the remote UNESCO inscribed Ogasawara Islands in Tokyo.
Japan’s south shimmers with gorgeous beaches, colourful coral reefs and rich marine life like Amami Oshima in Kagoshima - the second largest remote island in Japan.
