A trip that I will cherish forever!
5 - Excellent
  • Owen Short
“An amazing way to experience Japan in a short trip for your first time. Being able to meet people all over the world and share the experience was perfect. For the price and freedom to explore when not busy was worth every cent. Almost overwhelming how much you get to see and do in the prettiest place in the world. Felt safe and if I needed anything my guide was able to help. Met so many amazing people that I consider valued friends in just 10 days of fun. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
Budget trip but not a budget experience!
4 - Very Good
  • Anonymous
“This tour is great! It hits a number of major cities and the main tourists attractions. You get to do a lot of sightseeing and are given great food recommendations. A great mix of history and food. The tour guide is super helpful and knowledgeable.”
10 days of bliss exploring Japan

“This was our first group tour - a lovely bunch of people. Hayley, our tour guide, has been a gem! She is very knowledgeable about Japan and kept us entertained. She made sure we had enough suggestions of activities to enjoy in our spare time. She was quick on her feet when we encountered issues far beyond anyone's control on the bullet train and kept her cool when plans needed to change. Hayley is very respectful of the Japanese culture and manners Things to bear in mind when considering this tour: Definitely forward your luggage from Tokyo to Kyoto - but that means bring a small carry on so you can have 3 days worth of clothing to take to Hakone and Takayama. For traveling after that - a backpack is the way to go. Leave enough space in your luggage for all the gifts you will be buying. Rooms are often shared - with the majority of bathrooms being shared. If a couple - bear in mind that the pods are separated by gendered dorms. Make sure you have comfortable walking shoes - there is a lot of walking and climbing stairs Some of the experiences that have made an impact on me during this trip have included staying in a temple and having a meditation session with a monk while it was snowing outside. A Kendo class with a 4th generation Sumarai descendant. Learning how to make our own sushi and embracing the Japanese way of life”

  • Explore the scenic district of Arashiyama, famous for its bamboo groves, picturesque Togetsukyo Bridge, and the Arashiyama Monkey Park with adorable wild monkeys.

Travel tips for Japan sightseeing tour

  • Be prepared to remove your shoes when entering traditional places, like temples, shrines, and some traditional inns (ryokans). Wear socks or easy-to-slip-off shoes.
  • Observe Japanese customs, such as bowing as a form of greeting, and be mindful of local etiquette to show respect to the culture and its people.
  • Research seasonal attractions such as cherry blossoms in spring or fall foliage, to enhance your holiday experience.
  • Have a spare bag for trash as public dustbins and trash cans can be hard to come by.
  • Avoid eating while walking on your sightseeing tour in Japan—it is considered impolite.
