Self-guided adventures in Japan
Welcome to our trip page. Hibi Travel offers a range of unique self-guided adventures in Japan to enjoy, including hiking, biking and cultural adventures.
So, if you’ve given some thought to the purpose, or ‘why‘, of your trip, now is the fun part; deciding how to spend your time in Japan. To help with this, our adventures aim to provide authentic experiences in Japan through both better known and more local stops. Moreover, there is a wide range of ways to explore the culture, and our trips are based around immersive activities; hiking, biking and Japanese culture, or a varied mix of the three.
From years carefully putting together experiences, our take is that it can be tricky to get the time and cost balance right; the temptation can be to spend a good proportion of your time in Tokyo and Kyoto with minimal planning on the in-between, or squeezing in too much, and darting around the island on a rail pass, without truly experiencing very much, let alone connecting with the local people.
You may only ever visit Japan once, or at the very least have had to take a long and often costly flight to reach your destination, so it’s important to slow down to see more while in Japan. Our trips are crafted with these points in mind, with content that is immersive and well-balanced, taking in just the right amount of better and lesser-known sights. Each component is carefully considered as part of a wider story and hand-picked to make the most of your time.
To help choose the right trip for you, we offer a number of ways to explore your options; from style of travel, by region or the time of year you will travel. Please see our trips currently available below.
