Adventure holidays are organised holidays that are new, exciting, exotic or in some other way different to the norm. Adventure holidays can include things like getting away from the beaten track, engaging in some form of light physical activity, getting to know a foreign culture at the grassroots level, or engaging with nature. Adventure holidays have grown in popularity as more and more people decide they want to become involved in the places they visit in ways beyond seeing the major attractions.
It's important to understand that adventure holidays are well organised and the holiday travel specialists whose brochures are featured on this page will ensure that you have the out-of-the-ordinary experience that you want in Japan, in compete comfort and safety. This is especially important in a country like Japan, where there are many places where foreigners are still a comparative rarity and cultural and language differences can be an obstacle to foreigners who want to have a more authentic experience while visiting. It may surprise you to learn that, outside of the major cities, very few Japanese speak any English.
Unlike the general travel agent who has to try to cover an ever-expanding world of travel, the experts whose brochures are on this page know adventure holiday travel in Japan best. When you put yourself in their experienced hands, you'll enjoy your Japanese adventure to the full. So if you're interested in a taste of the real Japan - something a little different from the mainstream - browse the brochures on this page and be assured you're on the best of hands.
If adventure travel interests you but it's also your first visit to Japan and you also want to see the major attractions, you could combine an escorted tour with an adventure holiday. This option is offered by many of these Japan destination experts, so look out for this in the brochure and, if you can't find what you're looking for, ask one of them for help.
