List of Long-distance Nature Trails (Japan)

Long-distance Nature Trails (長距離自然歩道) are nature trails that span multiple prefectures and are planned by the Ministry of the Environment and maintained and managed by each prefecture in Japan.

Long-distance Nature Trails
The purpose of the trail is to allow people to experience the richness of nature, history and culture, to refresh their minds and bodies, and to deepen their understanding of nature conservation through easy, enjoyable, and safe walking on their own feet throughout the four seasons. Beginning with the construction of the Tōkai Nature Trail in 1970, the trail has been developed in stages. Once completed, the total length of nature trails in Japan will be approximately 27,000 km.

From family-friendly courses to professional courses, visitors can enjoy walking to the highlights of each region.
