I have just completed the 17 day Japan tour and it has been an incredible trip. The itinerary is packed with a wide variety of experiences from an origami class, staying in a 1000 year old temple, seeing snow monkeys (if you are lucky!) and a Samurai class to name a few. There is also plenty of free time throughout the trip to shop and explore which I appreciated as there were a few things I wanted to do which weren’t part of the itinerary.
My group leader Dan is an absolute legend!! It is my second tour with him and he always goes above and beyond to ensure we all have the best experience possible. He truly cares about each individual in the group and ensures everyone feels included. When we had free time Dan gave us plenty of recommendations of things to see and do and took us to additional places. He has an extensive cultural knowledge of Japan and I learnt a lot about Japan which I didn’t know about prior to the trip. It was also my birthday on the second day of the trip and it will definitely be a birthday that I will always remember!
I highly recommend doing this tour, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you so much Dan! 😊

Our tour of eight from the UK and the US literally ate our way around Japan. Our leader, Dean, was outstanding and interpreted, guided, and answered all our many questions with patience and good humor. This is listed as an "Active" trip and my pedometer said I walked 87 miles the second week of the tour, and the first week was similar. I am 70 and thought I was in good shape but my legs were very tired at the end of each day. I particularly liked our stay in Takayama at a minshuku. The smaller city was a welcome break from the crowds of Tokyo.

Japan is on everyone’s bucket list, but that doesn’t mean you need to wait for a travel buddy to book that ticket. This 11-day Solo-ish adventure makes exploring Japan on your own effortless, giving you just the right mix of time with your expert CEO and fellow travellers, along with plenty of freedom to explore solo. Spend the night at a Japanese temple with your travel mates, diving deep into this beautifully unique way of life. And, because no trip to Japan is complete without a stay at a traditional ryokan, you’ll overnight in Fukui — a gem off the beaten path, famed for its knife-making heritage. Your CEO will guide you to the must-sees of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima, and we’re pretty sure you’ll be planning your next visit long before you say “sayonara.”
