Osaka 15-Day Tours and Trips

Excellent itinary packed in a lot in 11 days. Group leader excellent very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Japan and ensured we all travelled safely. Would not suit those with limited mobility as a lot of walking and use of public transport but great for those with no issues. Would highly recommend it.

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.

My sister and i had the best time- the tour guides, the other members of the tour group and the tour itself were all marvellous. It exceeded our expectations. We loved the small villages and guest houses we stayed in.

Absolutely brilliant way to see highlights of Japan in a couple of weeks. Excellent organisation as always with Explore. Special mention for our tour leader - her boundless energy and enthusiasm made sure we didn’t miss a thing.

Thé Simply Japan vacation we had with Explore was the trip of a lifetime! Our guide Raya was very knowledgeable, ever patient, and full of good humour. The itinerary provided a very comprehensive array of activities; we felt we saw lots but were never rushed. I would encourage future tours to include a visit to the Sanjusangendo Temple (with the impressive 1001 statues - wow!); it was not to be missed! Also, I would encourage some sort of way to mark the leader’s progression through streets when there are shoulder-to-shoulder crowds, as some people got separated from the main group several times - yikes! I would definitely encourage others to take the Simply Japan tour. We loved it - and our guide!

Akemi our guide worked extremely hard to ensure our tour ran smoothly and that we were kept informed. The guides were knowledgable, the itinerary covered a good range of Japanese sights and trails. The accommodation was comfortable and we enjoyed the food.We very much enjoyed our time in Japan which we put down to the excellent itinerary planning and the excellent organisational skill and relaxed interaction of the guides with our tour group. congratulation, well done!
