About the trip

This 14-night tour with G Adventures threads through South Korea’s capital Seoul and the peacefully preserved lanes of Jeonju’s Hanok Village before heading to Jeju Island, where Haenyeo women divers carry on a centuries-old tradition. The itinerary blends urban energy with quieter moments, such as a stroll through colourful Gamcheon Village and a short hike up Seongsan Sunrise Peak.

Crossing into Japan, the focus shifts to a blend of the modern and the historical. Tokyo’s arcades and fashion quarters like Harajuku complement a night at a traditional Minshuku inn. In Kyoto, visits to Zen gardens and the Golden Pavilion sit alongside an evening out with Korean fried chicken, underscoring the tour’s culinary theme.

The pace is measured and varied, with free time scattered through the itinerary to wander or rest. Travellers move largely by train and plane but will also take cable cars and local transport. Accommodation is mostly shared, often in hostels or traditional inns, giving a social flavour to the trip.
