Adventure vacations in Japan

From flying over ancient volcanoes in a helicopter to kayaking uninhabited islands and trekking in the footsteps of ancient samurai, adventure vacations in Japan take you far beyond the techno-futurism of the cities and into the islands’ idyllic countryside. And remember, no matter how worn out you get, you’re never far from a soothing bathe in an onsen hot spring.
