Japan Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 164 customer reviews
Really enjoyed it
5 - Excellent
  • Sean Alexander Richards
“This was my first solo holiday and I really enjoyed my time on the trip, hit all the hot spots of Japan with enough free time every day to look around and take it all in. The food and entertainment suggestions provided by our guide Ricardo were excellent but the free time in the evening also allowed us to explore our own options. Ricardo was a great guide, knowledgeable and fun and was helpful to have around for any language barriers. The travel on public transport was easy enough, however, There is A LOT of walking, so bring some comfy shoes! All in all, a great experience for anyone's first time to Japan!”
Top Notch for a Good Price!
5 - Excellent
  • Salem Samuelson
“I got into one of the first groups after Japan unlocked for tourism, and enjoyed an October excursion through the Land of the Rising Sun. From urban to country, mountains to sea, this tour provides a smorgasbord of Japan's landscape and culture. Excellent price for what is delivered here, pretty much all of the iconic areas will get visited. The included activities were fantastic, but there was still plenty of time for personal exploring. Food from Koya, the time in Hiroshima, and the floating gate in Miyajima, really make the 14 day tour something special. Take the recommendation to pack light seriously! You'll be a much happier camper if don't have multiple bags to juggle every time you switch cities.”
Perfect for me
5 - Excellent
  • Dennis Laehn
“The group leader was very good and we were able to experience all the places well with little explanations/suggestions, which was exactly the right thing for me. If you expect to get every detail of every place like a museum tour, you may want to choose another option. However, after we had explored independently, the guide was able to answer most of the questions that arose.”

Japan Group Tours

No matter what your particular travel style might be, there is bound to be a Japan group tour to suit you.

  • City Sightseeing with a group in Tokyo: On a group tour of Tokyo, travel around the vibrant Harajuku district, the Meiji Shrine, and more with an expert local guide. Tokyo is a megalopolis with many facets and layers to it. With a guide by your side, you will get to visit the spots that many solo foreign travelers rarely venture. 
  • Explore religious sites on a Kyoto group tourThere are plenty of shrines, temples, and UNESCO heritage sites in Kyoto, such as the ancient Nijo Castle. Japan group tours usually cover a lot of religious sites in the kyoto. And the best part is group tour parties can skip queues at some popular attractions.
  • Relax at a hot spring with your group in HakoneThe hot spring culture and onsen tradition in Japan goes centuries back. One of the best places to have an onsen experience is Hakone. Travel around the 17 different hot springs in the area, and relax with your traveling companions. Once you are all rejuvenated, head to the local Shinto temple, or get your fill of art at the Hakone Open Air Museum.

Travel experience and benefits of group tours in Japan

  • Head up to the Kamikochi National Park and explore the mountains, forests, and rivers in a safer, group setting.
  • Accommodation and transport costs in Japan can add up when traveling solo in Japan. So a group tour is a good way to save money.
  • If you opt for a private group tour around Japan, you can control the pace of your adventure, without having to organize it yourself completely.

Tips when doing group tours in Japan

  • If you want to see Japan’s famous cherry blossoms in your group tour, book your trip between March and May.
  • Tipping is considered rude in Japan. So, do not be surprised if your tip is refused. If you want to give your tour guide or driver a token of appreciation, bring a small gift from your home country instead.
  • Get the meeting points or accommodation for your group tours written in Japanese. If you are trying to find it again after spending some free time exploring, you can simply pass the address to a taxi driver.
