Backroad Japan was a great trip and really tested my fitness, or lack of it

Some great experiences, great leader who provided more activities that in the itinerary and listened to the requests of travellers and provided wonderful insights into the local culture

Staying in local accommodation provided income to locals and understanding of local customs.

Waking up to a view of Mt Fuji is a perfect start to what ended up being full of new food experiences and so much appreciation of a very complex race

Loved the walk through farms and small villages to mountains to temples. So varied.

The contrast between visits to three of Japan's great cities - Tokyo - Kyoto - Osaka and the regional towns & villages along the way was a highlight for me. T...
