Adventure Travel is a great way to experience Japan on a deeper level than ordinary travel, providing an opportunity to go beyond the usual tourist sights and discover the local culture and nature through memorable, exciting activities.
Whether you're looking for extreme thrills or just some outdoor fun, there's something for adventurers of every skill level to be found, and each season offers new and exciting activities.
In adventure travel, the emphasis is on active fun through activities and experiences of different cultures rather than passive learning. The ATTA’s definition of adventurous travel encompasses novel and unique experiences, self-transformation, physical or mental challenges, wellness and a low environmental impact.
