Wow I loved this! I can’t wait to read more about your journey! I was able to spent 1 month on Kyushu in between May and June last year and it was perhaps my favourite place out of my 3 month Japan trip! Yakushima got my heart, so loved seeing your photos from your hikes there too. You captured the special soul of the island so beautifully. Thank you for sharing Burcu.
Beautiful roundup. Japan's trails are something else — the way nature and infrastructure coexist so seamlessly. I write about a very different side of Japan (its social structures and loneliness economy), but posts like this remind me why the country is so endlessly fascinating. Subscribed.
If our tickets weren’t already booked, I’d be buying them now! Your photos don’t just show places — they pull you in. I can’t wait to walk the Kumano Kodo together in March. Lots of love from Two Friends :)
your photos always blow me away Burcu, thank you for sharing this beautiful letter. And the link to David Gilbert's hike of the Shikoku Pilgrimage is absolutely wonderful. Saved!
This is a very good "Letter from Japan" with excellent photographs. I am a professional photographer and video producer and have been living in this country for half a century but Burcu's posts are some of the best guides and descriptions I've come across. Now 76, with shaky legs and difficulty to climb stairs or otherwise I am wondering if you could provide us with some gentle walks for the elderly who aren't that fir anymore. Many thanks for your work.
Loved this one! Can't wait to do some of these in the coming years <3 Also, thanks for the link to the afar magazine, the article also mentioned Madhya Pradesh, My home state as one of the top destinations, which is pretty cool :)
Mmmm so many delicious walks that I could feast on through your words and images. So many places to see. I hope to get to Okinawa at some point. Inspiring, thank you.
Great article and some beautiful pictures!

I didn't realise Japan has so many great hiking trails!

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Especially love Tokyo covered in snow!
Thank you, Burcu! I will definitely try to walk some of these trails in the years to come.
