3night 4day Oni Trail Hiking Adventure

Hike from Kyoto's mountains to the Sea of Japan on this 3 night 4 day tour. The region is steeped in mythology and legends about Japanese oni (demons or ogres). The course passes through small hamlets, a 1300-year-old pilgrimage trail, ancient trade routes over the mountains, and a 700-year-old stone-laid path that a famous samurai general and his group used to reach the sea of Japan.
