Overview

Japan’s sublime terrain—perfected over eons and just waiting to be discovered by bike. From terraced rice fields to exquisite shrines and temples, history whispers at every turn. Rejuvenate at Japan’s top hotels and ryokans , replete with natural hot springs and manicured gardens. Feel transported to the Edo era in Yatsuo, a charming rural village where timeworn cobblestone alleys, elegant traditional homes and echoes of a once-thriving merchant class still linger.
