Japan is one of those magical places you can visit again and again, but this 18-day adventure skips Tokyo to take you way off the beaten path. Hike Hokkaido's stunning national parks, snorkel in Okinawa's crystal-clear waters, and dive into local eats in Okinawa’s famous "blue zone". Paddle your way through Iriomote’s mangroves and cycle the peaceful streets of Taketomi Island. If you thought Japan was all big cities, think again — this trip is packed with hidden gems and epic outdoor adventures that will totally change your perspective.
