Hike the rugged North Island of Japan, Hoikkado and avoid the crowds of more touristy parts of Japan.

Kit interviews Rick and Susan about their beautiful hiking adventure on this little known part of Japan. Earlier, they shared their Bolivia and Peru adventures, so be sure to check that show out.

On today's show, we learn what to expect if you go on a Hoikkado Japan hiking tour : what you'll see and eat, how to use an onsen (traditional Japanese bath), when to go and more.
