This was our first trip as a family (ages ranging from 13 to 79) and I was nervous beforehand whether we would fit into a group of strangers who may not wish to travel w 2 teens.
I need not have worried! The kids had a great time, grandma made friends without us and the entire group as well as Toru has become "family" at the end of the tour.

Great experience! We saw wonderful parts of Japan, including Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, and Hiroshima. The hotels were wonderful! Our travel director was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. My advice to Trafalgar is to reduce the number of visits to temples and shrines. Maybe allow more free time. Also, there were too many set Japanese meals with no options.
Prepare to explore all the best places in Japan as your vacation will be carefully planned with a harmonious blend of the country’s timeless traditions and its dynamic modernity. Begin your adventure in Osaka, a vibrant city famed for its mouthwatering cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and bustling streets. Next, pay a visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum, a moving tribute to the resilience of its people and a somber reminder of history.
Then, step back in time with a Kyoto day tour, Japan’s ancient capital, where you’ll experience breathtaking temples, serene gardens, and the elegance of traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. No trip to Japan would be complete without a visit to Mt. Fuji, the awe-inspiring icon of Japan, standing as a testament to nature’s beauty. Conclude your vacation in Tokyo, a city where soaring skyscrapers, cutting-edge technology, and endless entertainment promise a thrilling end to your travels.
For first-time visitors, this itinerary is the perfect introduction to Japan, balancing cultural immersion and modern exploration. With world-class guides and carefully planned experiences, you’ll gain a rich understanding of Japanese culture, hospitality, and innovation. Our stress-free journey begins with Door-to-Airport Service, with a professional chauffeur handling your airport transfer, so you start relaxed and ready for adventure.
