Some of Japan’s most unforgettable hiking experiences can’t be done in a single day. From the misty ridgelines of the North Alps to sacred twin peaks in Nikko and the rugged trails of Mt. Kumotori, multi-day hikes in Japan let you step deeper into the landscape — and stay a while.
These extended hikes offer more than distance. They give you the time to truly immerse yourself in Japan’s mountain culture, wake to the stillness of dawn above the tree line, and encounter the wild side of the country most travelers never see. If you’re lucky, you might spot Japanese serow, alpine foxes, hawks, or even……an okojo!
At Okojo Adventures, we guide small groups through a curated selection of multi-day trekking routes chosen for their natural beauty, cultural depth, and remoteness. These aren’t tourist trails — they’re places where time slows down and every step carries meaning.
