“Had a great tour with Yukari! She showed us a path with no other people(for most of the trip), and we didn’t miss any of the sights! She gave us good information during the tour and was very sociable as well. Would recommend this to anyone :)”

Hiroshima Local guided Hiking Tour&Open-air Tea Ceremony

3.Hiroshima Local guided Hiking Tour&Open-air Tea Ceremony

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 213 reviews · from $109

Hike Hiroshima’s Futaba Mountains, visit quiet shrines, enjoy forest bathing, and take part in an open-air tea ceremony above the city.

“Wonderful guided experience off the beaten path of Hiroshima. Of course, a visit to Peace Park is an absolute must, but there is so much more to experience and this guided hike up Mt. Futuba should be high on your list. Michi was a wonderfully kind and knowledgable guide who went above and beyond to make our trip more than just a tour. The physical immersion in the forest combined with the historical and spiritual elements of Kinko Inari Shrine go a long way toward grasping the Japanese sense of the sacred. The tea ceremony overlooking the city was icing on the cake. Thank you, Michi, for an unforgettable experience…”

5.1-Day Tour from Nagoya: Hiking the Historic Nakasendo Trail

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 34 reviews · 8 hours · from $189

Hike 8 km from Tsumago to Magome on Japan’s historic Nakasendo Trail with an English-speaking guide and small-group transport from Nagoya.

“Our guide was very knowlegeable and shared a lot of history about Japan and the culture. He was studying Japanese history and culture and was the perfect guide. I have to give kudos to the company even though there were only two of us in the tour the company Snow Monkey did not cancel the tour. The hike was at a resonable pace for the two of us who are in our mid and late 60'ss. The guide slowed the pace to help us manage the hike. We have great memories of the Nakasendo trail and wonderful background about it. We highly recommend this tour.”
