Itinerary

Picture yourself wandering neon-lit Tokyo streets, then meditating with monks in a 1,000-year-old mountain temple. The 17-day Japan Adventure tour is designed for young adults eager to experience both the futuristic and the ancient. Start in Tokyo, experiencing cutting-edge culture before venturing to snowy mountain shrines, rolling your own sushi, and learning samurai sword techniques from a master.

The journey weaves through Hiroshima’s poignant history, the deer-filled parks of Nara, and the magical island of Miyajima. Nights are spent in unique accommodations ranging from city hotels to temple lodges, all under the guidance of an expert group leader. What sets this tour package apart is its hands-on, immersive approach—blending iconic sightseeing with rare cultural experiences and a supportive travel crew, making it the ultimate way to explore Japan’s wonders.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.

I have just returned from the 17-day Japan tour, and I have to say, it was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on! Our group leader, Lachie, was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, you could feel his passion and deep knowledge of Japan. He helped me fall in love with the country in ways I never imagined. Lachie was calm, attentive, and downright amazing. His guidance made this experience unforgettable, and I truly believe this trip wouldn;t have been the same without him. A huge thank you to Intro for providing such an incredible experience. Japan is now officially my number one favorite country

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! 😊

The Japan tour was truly a wonderful experience. You get the opportunity to be fully immersed in the culture, food, and best of all, the warmth and kindness of the people. Lachie was an excellent guide, with so many good recommendations, and really cared about every person having the best tour possible.

Just finished the 13 day Japan tour. Unreal. Honestly. Starting first with a massive shout out to our incredible tour guide Lachie. What a smashing guy, so knowledgeable, organised, professional and of course great fun too. What more could you ask for. Our group was phenomenal and the trip and places covered was more than I could have dreamt of. What a beautiful country, a perfect itinerary and memories to last a life time. Thank you. 🙏

I just returned from the 13 day Japan tour and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. It was lovely to have so many immersive experiences but then also having free time almost each day to be able to explore the things we wanted to in Japan that wouldn;t be on the tour. Our group leader, Lachie, was top-notch and made the trip so much fun from recommendations to us not having to worry about a single travel plan at all. Would highly recommend Intro!
