G Adventures has relaunched its small-group adventures in Japan.
Starting October, the adventure operator will reintroduce 12 tours in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka as well as lesser-visited regions with an emphasis on meaningful local experiences.
Julie FitzGerald, general manager for Asia at G Adventures, “The relaxation of entry restrictions has been eagerly awaited by G Adventures, our travellers and the local communities we work with in Japan, who have been keen to welcome back tourism as soon as possible.
“October is a fantastic time for us to restart our trips, with ‘Aki’ (Autumn) being one of the most beautiful times to visit with temperatures ideal for exploring.”
“While Japan is often celebrated for cherry blossoms and buzzing cities, G Adventures will include popular highlights as well as lesser-seen local experiences, whether that’s training with a samurai master, learning to quieten the mind with zen meditation or staying with a rural farming community far off the tourist trail.
“It’s these experiences that make our trips truly unique, help our travellers to create once-in-a-lifetime memories and allow us to continue supporting local communities by distributing money into the hands of local people.”
