About the Japanese Alps
The Japanese Alps are incredibly scenic and dynamic mountain ranges that reach heights of over 3,000m and feature a dazzling number and variety of easily accessed trails that are still almost completely overlooked by international tourists. They provide the perfect setting to immerse yourself in Japan’s pristine natural landscapes while offering a unique perspective into Japanese culture.
The often steep and rocky trails here in the Alps are a fantastic place to test your fitness and technical prowess. The sky is the limit… and the setting for your Japanese alpine adventure.
