MULTI-DAY HIKE
Our multi-day tour includes over night hike (one night on a mountain ) and more days and nights on a mountain. In this tour, we stay either at a mountain hut or tent. The location we offer for multi day hike is mainly on Japanese alps in Nagano (in summer) and Oku Chichibu mountain range and Nikko (in spring and autumn.)
At the moment, we are setting up muliti day hike in the areas above for 2024.
Most of the reservation for a mountain hut is prior to a month before our use.(If they have availability, it does not matter.) Although we make a reservation of the huts, mountain hut fee is paid at the site. (No charge for amountain huts from us.)
If you choose staying at your own tent, no reservation needed mostly. However, it means that your load will be more with a tent, sleeping bag and mat.
The guide fee will be to be determined.
Feel free to talk to us!
More about multi-day hike
1.Give us your request
If you can give us an idea of your hike like; 5-6 hours walk, 2 nights at a mountain hut, two persons, experienced hiker..., we give you an idea that is similar to your request.
2.Reservation of our multi-day tour

3.What is multi day hiking in Japan like?
In our tour destination like Japanese Alps and Okuchichibu Nikko, it is long distance hiking with steep incline especially on day one and the end of the tour. Since most of the trails are on a mountain ridge, you need to gain elevation until you get to the ridge from trail heads. There is still up and down on a ridge, but it would be smooth. Trail feature depends which mountain you walk. It can be rocky, sandy and scree. The hut is also located on an exposed area too. There is no shower, drying room or anything luxury(it depends.) It is pretty basic facilities but you get hot meals and cold beer.
It gets cold during the night even in summer. Make sure you bring your warm layers and rain sets since the weather is changeable anytime in alpine area. It is tough and intense but definitely worth the views.
