Hike from Kurama village to Kibune-two villages that mark the start and endpoint of the hike. As you wind your way through the canopied forest, visit the Yuki shrine and Kurama-dera temple.ACTIVITY: Transfer by train and subway to Kurama Station and begin your CEO-led hike. Walk between these two picturesque, quaint villages in the Kitayama Mountains and follow the stone steps up into the verdant, mist-shrouded forests.

Walk for around 2 hours under the vibrant torii gates as you make your way along the various trails. Although this is a popular activity, it's worth it for the expansive views across Southern Kyoto.Spend the afternoon at leisure in Kyoto.ACTIVITY: Hike up Fushimi Inari through 10,000 stunning torii gates (as seen in the film Memoirs of a Geisha). The shrine itself is at the base of the Inari mountain but includes many trails up to smaller shrines in the area.

Board a domestic flight bound for Naha airport, in Okinawa. Naha is the main gateway for travelers in and out of Okinawa. Upon arrival, hop onto a private transport and make your way north towards Yanbaru National Park. This area is not popular on the tourist route due to its more remote location, and indeed feels a bit like a hidden gem.FREE TIME: Spend a free evening after arriving to Okinawa.TRANSPORT: Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... yup, it is a plane, actually.","lat":"35.02107","lng":"135.75385"},{"title":"Day 5: Yanbaru National Park","name":"Kunigami","description":"Begin today's explorations at the Okinawa Rail Observation deck.

After a picnic lunch, head towards to the seaside and join your local guide on a guided sea kayaking excursion to Yasuda island. After a busy day, enjoy a dinner out together.ACTIVITY: Start by observing the endangered Okinawa Rail, a bird endemic to Yanbaru and learn about the conservation efforts to protect Okinawa's natural environment.

Explore Yasuda island's white sand and relax on the beach, where sea turtles sometimes visit, before paddling back to the coast.","lat":"26.75886","lng":"128.16304"},{"title":"Day 6: Kunigami/Ishigaki","name":"Kunigami","description":"Another day, another island. Today, head even further south to Ishigaki island. Still part of Okinawa, Ishigaki technically sits closer to Taiwan than to mainland Japan. Join your CEO and fellow travelers for a delicious dinner sampling the famous Ishigaki beef.TRANSPORT: Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... yup, it is a plane, actually.FREE TIME: Spend a free evening in Ishigaki before a group dinner.","lat":"26.75886","lng":"128.16304"},{"title":"Day 7: Ishigaki","name":"Ishigaki","description":"In the Hirakubo Peninsula in northern Ishigaki, hop aboard a Sabani, the traditional Okinawan sailboat, and cruise along the shores of the peninsula.

Surrounded by coral reef, the island is actually constructed of coral walls and structures, creating a unique architectural look within Japan. The central Ryukyu village is the most well known feature of the island, full of red tiled roof buildings and tropical flowers. There are plenty of ways to explore Taketomi, but in true G Adventures style we opt for a bicycle to be able to zip around and see as much as possible.TRANSPORT: Get to the next spot on your route aboard a convenient and efficient ferry boat.ACTIVITY: Hop on a bicycle and explore Taketomi's noteworthy stops.
