Douglas J. | Traveled in October

Whenever I travel to a foreign country, one of my top priorities is to immerse myself in the broadest and most varied cultural experiences possible. I want to leave with a genuine sense of who the people are and what their daily lives are like. The expansive Costsaver itinerary offers exactly the kind of diverse and immersive cultural encounters I look forward to—and truly enjoy.

Ken H. | Traveled in July

It was a relaxed intinerary that showed both modern and older Japan. We visited 5 cities taking in modern Tokyo to older Kyoto and historic Himeji. My favourite place was Osaka. A modern city, but a little more relaxed than Tokyo. Hiroshima was very solemn.

Paul T. | Traveled in July

Wonderful way to explore Japan and visit multiple places with different experiences to offer. Be prepared to move at a quick pace if you want to take it all in.

Very informative and fast paced. I believe following the tour we had a much better understanding of the Japanese including some of their customs and their way of life. Having an excellent tour guide like we had made the entire tour worthwhile.

Adrian W. | Traveled in June

It had a great selection of locations to visit, various temples, mt Fuji, bullet train, Hiroshima and the big cities. The range of food in the buffet breakfasts was amazing!.

Japan Family Tours

Japan tours for families offer a broad mix of activities and experiences. Here are some of the family tours worth considering:

  • Family cycling tour in the Noto Peninsula: Take your family on a trip to the Nato Peninsula, a rugged piece of land projecting into the Sea of Japan. A cycling adventure suited for a family will take you past intriguing towns like Wajima city and stunning seascapes such as Kongo Coast, teaching you about Japan’s culture while also giving you a sense of adventure.
  • Family hiking tour to Mount Fuji: Adventure-loving families can summit one of Japan’s most sacred places, Mount Fuji. The hike spans over two days and takes on a slower pace—ideal for both young and elderly family members. This is the kind of expedition your family will forever cherish.
  • Sightseeing tour in Kyoto with the family: Kyoto is one of the most culturally rich places where your family can get immersed in the traditions of Japan. Enjoy a quintessential Japanese tea ceremony, take a calligraphy class to learn the intricacies of Japanese writing, or snap a few family portraits at the picturesque Kinkaku-ji’s reflective pond. Kyoto offers a relaxing cultural outing experience for everyone in your family.
