We will generally travel by car.
Of course! I often travel solo myself.
Alternate activties will be available. Museums, caves, visiting craftsmen, and driving by waterfalls.
Many of the activities involve easy to moderate levels of physical activity. If you have injuries or limitations, I will make adjustments accordingly. Just let me know!
Yes. Bug spray is needed in the warmer months.Once in a while, we may spot a bear when driving. We'll usually have bells to warn any that may be nearby.
I'll give you suggestions before the trip. Japan is often humid, so breatheable clothes (polyster/nylon blends) and a light-jacket (for air-conditioned rooms) are recommended in the warmer months.
As a general rule of thumb: Spring (t-shirt/super-light jacket), Summer (polyester/cotton blend shirts/shorts, super-light jacket), Fall (light coat or jacket), Winter (inner layers, coat, down jacket)
