As the weather warms up and travel restrictions ease, people around the country are itching to travel again. However, many of us will want to avoid overcrowded areas and many of the most accessible and popular destinations in Japan usually experience a high volume of visitors.

To get away from the crowds, why not head out into nature? Japan has an abundance of lush forests, sparkling rivers, and rugged mountains that offer endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation.
