Tsugaru And Shimokita Trail

Honshu is Japan's largest and most populous island. But travel North past Tokyo and you'll see the gigantic, dazzling cities become smaller and smaller, the people fewer and the landscape more rugged. 

On this tour, you'll have the opportunity to learn about Northern Honshu's unique cultures, the island's ancient history, and you'll be able to see some of Japan's most spectacular natural landscapes. 

Walk along Oirase Stream, a natural gem of Japan and visit Osorezan (Mount Osore), one of the most sacred places in Japan, believed to connect this world with the afterlife. Head to Hakodate on the island of Hokkaido and learn about its history as a trading port for foreign merchants, and about the island's ancient heritage.
