Shinetsu Trail Tours of Japan 2025

Choose from two wonderful tours that take in the Shinetsu Trail
​​
Join us on the Shinetsu Trail in 2025. It's  is a unique 100km woodland trail along the ridge of the Sekida Mountain Range bordering Nagano and Niigata Prefectures in the central alpine region of Japan.  It is unique because it is the only place in Japan where you can experience primeval forests of beech, birch, larch, maple, cedar and more on a coordinated multi-day walk. We know this trail well, so besides independent arrangements, for 2025 we have two options for walkers:
Shinetsu Trail independent tour 2025
Walk any of the ten sections available for walkers.
