- The accommodation on this active adventure holiday in Japan consists of traditional inns (11 nts), mountain huts/log cabins (2 nt). Some accommodation has shared facilities. The 2 nights in log cabins in Kamikochi are same sex multi share.
To stay in a ryokan is a traditional Japanese experience as this is how a typical family lives. Rooms have a tatami (straw) mat floor and are furnished sparingly, often with just a low table. You will sleep in the traditional style, using a futon spread out on the tatami mat.
Our family run villas in Izu have tatami mat rooms, ocean views and are surrounded by forest.
Our quiet riverside log cabins in Kamikochi are surrounded by forest, with views of the 3,000 m peaks nearby. Each cabin has its own kitchen (though morning and evening meals are included) and heating and we can use the private onsen to bathe in.
