At Roots & Routes, we believe that every journey is an opportunity to connect—both with the places we visit and the paths we take to get there. Based in the heart of Himeji, we proudly operate across Hyogo Prefecture, offering immersive and thoughtfully curated experiences that go beyond the surface. Whether you’re wandering through ancient streets, capturing fleeting moments through a camera lens, or cycling along scenic routes, our tours are designed to highlight the authentic essence of Japan’s culture, history, and natural beauty.

With a focus on intimate group sizes and bespoke offerings, we tailor each tour to create meaningful and memorable encounters. Roots & Routes was founded on a passion for showcasing the lesser-known wonders of Hyogo and the surrounding areas, inviting visitors to explore Japan in a way that respects tradition and embraces discovery.
