Our History

Unbeaten Japan Tours began as just one part of a diverse organization dedicated to community-building within the international community here in the Kansai region of Japan. Known as Kigouya (機合家) or Opportunity Meet House, it attracted many nature-lovers with a passion for exploring Japan’s countryside. Unbeaten Japan Tours has now grown into a boutique tour agency dedicated to getting people out of the big cities and off the beaten path in Osaka and Kyoto.
