manager of tailor-made experiences at InsideJapan, said: “While still visiting key sights such as Tokyo and Kyoto, this trip offers travellers a quieter side of Japan, including the hot-spring town of Kaga Onsen and the ancient temples of Fukui and rural Toyama. “By focusing on locally owned
accommodation and engagement with rural communities, as we
do with many of our trips, the Hidden Zen itinerary gives a great sense of what makes this country and culture so special.” The self-guided tour costs
from £6,030 and includes 14 nights’ accommodation, transport, some private guiding and cultural experiences. International flights are not included.
