Japan walking tours

Few countries reward a slow walk the way Japan does. Neon-lit crossings give way to silent shrine paths within a few minutes, vending machines glow on every corner, and even the busiest streets feel calm and orderly. Wander Tokyo's electric districts, the temple lanes of Kyoto and the food-obsessed canals of Osaka, feed the deer in Nara, soak in Hakone's hot springs or walk through Sapporo's snow, then read our guides to plan a real trip.
