Japan
Where ancient traditions meet wild landscapes, our spectacular Japan adventures invite you to explore volcanic forests, snow-capped peaks, and coastal sanctuaries.
VISIT Japan
Japan conjures images of big bustling metropolises, towering neon skyscrapers and labyrinthine alleys hiding culinary gems. But while Japan’s iconic cities capture the hearts and minds of most travellers (and for good reason) around 70% of the country’s land mass remains uninhabited.
The archipelago of Japan encompasses a diverse range of climates, from the subtropical southern islands to the icy north. With more than 90,000 species, a high proportion of which are endemic, its expansive wild landscapes are a haven for biodiversity.
Journey off the beaten path to its lesser explored corners – from the epic wilderness of Hokkaido to the winding ancient pilgrimage trails of the Kii Peninsula and the mangrove forests of Okinawa, Japan provides endless opportunities for immersion in wild nature.

Where travel and conservation meet
As you travel through this unique landscape, you’ll have the chance to encounter a variety of native species, plants and animals that are naturally found only in this region. These species are key to the health of the local ecosystem, supporting biodiversity and helping maintain nature’s balance.
Many of them face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, making conservation efforts more important than ever. By learning about and appreciating these native species, you’re also helping to protect them for future generations.
