Walk Japan has introduced four itineraries for solo travellers seeking to reset and reconnect while exploring Japan. The “solo-ish” journeys align with Hilton’s 2027 Trends Report theme, “The Great Rebalance”. They combine independent exploration with shared experiences, offering opportunities for adventure and relaxation.
The seven-day Tohoku Aizu Explorer takes travellers through ancient battlefields and historic highways. The itinerary traces the footsteps of Aizu’s daimyo and samurai. Available from May to November, it starts at US$4,000 (JPY 598,000) per person, based on double occupancy.
The five-day Onsen Gastronomy: Snowy Aizu tour features winter landscapes, samurai towns and restorative hot springs. It runs from late December to early March, with prices starting at US$4,000 (JPY 598,000) per person.
The six-day Oita Hot Spring Trail introduces travellers to Japan’s hot spring culture. The itinerary combines countryside walks with kaiseki dinners. Available year-round, it starts at US$2,750 (JPY 410,000) per person.
The 11-day Shikoku Temple Pilgrimage follows the 1,200-year-old 88 Temple Pilgrimage route and visits 27 Buddhist temples. Available from March to May and September to November, it starts at US$5,100 (JPY 760,000) per person.
Walk Japan offers all four itineraries without a minimum group size. This allows solo travellers to explore independently while enjoying shared experiences along the way.
