Whether you're a nature lover looking to discover Japan's diverse ecosystems, or a slow traveler hoping to dive deep into local culture and history, there are a growing number of sustainable choices you can make when you visit. This month, we present some low-impact, socially responsible options for travel that aim to promote a respectful way of enjoying the full range of experiences that Japan offers. From the plethora of eco-friendly opportunities in the Tokai and Hokuriku Shinetsu regions to our recommendations for sustainable stays in Kyushu and Chugoku, we introduce experiential journeys and authentic community experiences for all types of travelers. We also feature Kamaishi and Niseko, taken from the six Japan localities selected for Green Destination’s top 100 Destination Sustainability Stories in 2020. Read on to discover how you can turn your vacation into a sustainable journey.
