Tokyo Tours in December 2026

This was a well-paced trip with an excellent itinerary and more free time than I've been used to on previous tours, allowing us to seek out the areas which appealed to us. To that end, I highly recommend getting an eSim on your phone so that you can navigate around using google maps without racking up a huge bill. Going in mid November, I wasn't prepared for just how cold the weather was, in particular the wind. Hat and gloves and a winter jacket were essential. We decided to use our free day in Tokyo to visit Nikko which was worth the trip but we only thought to book the train the day before and the early morning trains had sold out. Fortunately we were luckier when booking a bullet train from Osaka back to Tokyo at the end of the trip, allowing us a fabulous view of Mt Fuji and another day in Tokyo before catching our flight home. Overall, we loved the travel on various forms of public transport throughout the whole tour - a great way to get around, much better than being stuck on a coach. We were also very fortunate in having an excellent, very patient, tour guide in Kerique who gave us a great insight into the country.

Outstanding and very varied tour. Too many highlights to mention but we were particularly lucky to be there for the peak of the autumn colour in the amazing Japanese gardens. Our tour leader Irene went above and beyond and greatly added to our enjoyment of the trip.

This was one of the best trips I have been on! Varied itinerary that included all the main sites but also included places off the beaten trail. Very smooth travel between cities and well-organised luggage facilities/transfers enabling us to get the most out of our day. Well-situated , comfortable hotels. David Lam was an excellent tour leader, anticipating any potential issues, and calmly ensuring everyone was happy. His local knowledge meant he was able to advise us of the best places to eat and give us tips for local independent journeys on our free days. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

Honestly our guide Matt made this trip! I have been on plenty of group tours before and have had all different guides before and Matt absolutely killed this tour! Our group was amazing! Japan was amazing! The whole trip was amazing! I highly recommend intro

Japan 2024 - What a fantastic trip, Japan was full of culture/history and just a wonderful country to visit, Matt our guide was amazing, he had a lot of knowledge and answered any questions and overall a really fun guy. Would highly recommended doing the Japan trip with intro! I will definitely be booking a future trip!!

Great trip. Lots of variety - cities and country. Lots of walking around the sights. Hotels close to the stations and only had to carry small bag anyway as main luggage forwarded to and from hotels as described in trip notes. David, our guide, was really knowlegable and organised meals at a wide variety of restaurants and always had suggestions for cafes or bakeries when needed! Overall a fantastic holiday.
