Akigawa Valley

14 day trip exploring the central Prefectures of Japan. We will be exploring some areas of the Chiba, Nagano, Gifu, Tokyo, Tochigi, and Kanagawa prefectures in Japan. Click on the locations below to see a link for more information about each!

A valley located 1.5 hours away from Tokyo Station. Great spot for a day trip into the mountains. The itinerary below should take a full day to complete at a leisurely pace. You can skip the two hikes and stay to the town and temples for a more relaxed trip. There is a Luup bike share rental port near the station and a another near Akigawa Base. Electric assist cycling is a good option if you are looking to speed up your trip even more.
