Description
Interior Japan (Private Group)
Explore the ruggedly mountainous interior of Japan with us on this 10 night/11day pickleball adventure!
The prefectures of Tochigi, Nagano, and Gifu are characterized by stunning natural landscapes, age-old Shinto shrines, peculiar sights such as the hot-spring-loving snow monkeys, and uniquely regional gastronomy. We finish the tour in Takayama, a major cultural hub of Japan, which is often referred to as mini-Kyoto. This insider experience also features plenty of pickleball instruction and play with locals at our local guides’ favorite Japanese venues, where most tourists never set foot.
