Walking Tours for Visitors to Japan
Japan Trails runs private tours for families and groups visiting Japan. There are two kinds, a day on foot in Tokyo or Yokohama and a day trip by train to Mount Fuji (Lake Kawaguchi), Hakone, Kamakura or Nikko. Our founder, Mihiro Ono, guides them in English.

Every Japan Trails tour is private, so you never share it with strangers. We plan the day with you before you arrive, around your children's ages, how much you want to walk and what you can eat. Most of our guests are families, many with children, and we also take requests from companies, business travellers and travel agencies.
Mihiro leads the tours himself. On busy days, or for groups larger than 10 to 12 people, a guide he knows well joins in, and Mihiro goes over the plan with that guide before the day.
Operated by us as Japan Trails. Bookings are taken directly on that site.
