What are the Japanese Alps?

The Japanese Alps are first and foremost a true paradise for hikers and nature lovers. The mountain range is mostly located in Nagano Prefecture on the main Japanese island of Honshū. The so-called Nagano Alps are divided into three areas: First, the Northern Alps with breathtaking landscapes and ski resorts; second, the Central Alps with beautiful pristine high valleys; and third, the Southern Alps with several hiking trails in the Akaishi Mountains.

Besides the two metropolises Tokyo and Kyoto, you will also visit the beautiful Japanese Alps on this trip. Here you will find unspoilt mountain towns full of history and culture, hike along a historic trade route, take a scenic train ride and enjoy breathtaking landscapes around every corner.
