Japan Tours in January 2027

I recently returned from an incredible 13-day tour of Japan, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable trips Ive ever experienced. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the tranquil temples of Kyoto, every day was packed with adventure, culture, and amazing sights. The tour was extremely well-organized, and a huge part of its success was due to our outstanding group leaders, Dan and Michelle. They were nothing short of phenomenal”always professional, approachable, and full of energy. Their knowledge of Japanese history, culture, and local secrets added so much depth to the experience. Whether it was navigating the Shinkansen (bullet train) or recommending the best ramen spots, they made every part of the journey seamless and enjoyable.

I travelled with my grandson, Maxwell, aged 15. We both had a great time in Japan. Our English speaking guides were Akane and Alvaro, who were both very good and very helpful. But the last day at Hiroshima was very disappointing as both my grandson and I were particularly interested in the peace park and museum, but instead we were taken to the train station for lunch/pick up passengers after our drive from Okayama and we then drove to Miyajima and the Itsukushima shrine which only left a very small amount of time to visit the museum. We would rather have gone first to the Peace Museum and, because of our interest in history, we would have stayed on there and met the group later at our hotel. Perhaps you could offer a visit either to the museum for the afternoon, or the shrine a short visit to the museum for future tours, so that people have a choice? I would have given this tour 5 if we could have had the whole afternoon at the peace park.

Just returned from the 13 day intro trip to Japan. It was fantastic trip covering so much and with a great group of people. Lachie our group leader was brilliant - with so much knowledge of Japan, great recommendations and just always happy to help wherever he could to make sure everyone was having the best time. Everything ran super smoothly thanks to him and definitely made the trip even better. Would really recommend the trip and hopefully you get Lachie as your tour leader!

Recently just finished the Japan 13 day Intro Trip and had an amazing time and experience, visiting some of the sites Japan has to offer. Even before we arrived Lachie got in contact with us to make sure we arrived safe and made it to the starting point/hostel. Lachie also made a group chat so that we can all interact and communicate with others on the tour as well and post helpful guides, locations and things to do when in each new place of the tour. Lachie was very knowledgeable about the temples and Japan history and incredibly helpful and always suggested multiple options and got the groups consensus in regards to places to go during free time. Overall Lachie made the tour fun and relaxing by not having to worry about accommodation and transport as well as interacting and getting to know how we all were going and if we were going ok and also made sure we knew how to get back to the airport after the tour or wherever our plans were after. I am looking forward to my next trip with intro in the future and hopefully get Lachie again as my group leader

Japan adventure Jan 4th- 16th My tour guide was Lachie for this trip and he was super helpful with recommending places to eat, exploring, activities and sites to see! He was keen to get to know the group and was really friendly and approachable. Every day was amazing! ˜ I had the best 13 days with my group and Lachie definitely made us all feel welcome and relaxed! The evening dinners that were arranged were always yummy!! The karaoke night was my personal favorite ˜‚ everybody let loose and joined in 100% Had the best experiences and met some awesome people £¼¯

I wish Ken was my guide for the whole trip The last days with him were the best Mari was my guide for a few days but she did not speak any English and did not explain anything. I asked questions and she couldnt answer any of them. Mari should not be a guide for the English speakers so please be careful. I was losing energy asking her questions and getting nothing in return. She just didnt explain anything to us. She should not be attending us English speakers Ken was continually informing us about everything in a very funny and interesting ways. Please give us native English speakers like Ken from now on or we will have doubts the next time we want to book a tour with you. Ken truly was the best guide we ever had and am still very thankful we had him.
