Our senior travelers love their Japan journeys — here's what they say.

Pauline W. | Traveled in October

The overall tour was very enjoyable and memorable. The tour guide we had (Tomoe Namihisa) was wonderful. Very informative, knowledgeable, courteous, and very well organized. She made the tour so enjoyable. Also the bus driver Hide was also very courteous and drove us safely to each destination. His driving skills was impeccable. Overall, we all enjoyed this tour and would definitely refer our friends and family to take this tour. We liked it so much we are planning on a return trip to Japan.

Tour Managers were extremely knowledgeable with good command in English. They offered optional tours which weren't included in our package, and took us to these sights. Able to accommodate food restrictions! Best part was meeting and speaking to the Ama Divers!

Japan & South Korea: From Tokyo ...
Diane M. | Traveled in October

From when we stepped of the aircraft and the tour began it was amazing the sites that was shown and the bus was clean at all times. The drivers was well presented and kept us all safe on the narrowest of roads. The highlight was the Bullet Train not to mention everything else was beautiful too.

Japan Discovery

Whenever I travel to a foreign country, one of my top priorities is to immerse myself in the broadest and most varied cultural experiences possible. I want to leave with a genuine sense of who the people are and what their daily lives are like. The expansive Costsaver itinerary offers exactly the kind of diverse and immersive cultural encounters I look forward to—and truly enjoy.

The trip was excellent. The guides were outstanding. Very professionally organized. Special mention must be made of Ken Esteves. He went beyond the call of duty to be of assistance to us. He truly is an asset to the company. The only disappointment on the trip was the ferry from Busan to Japan. Cabins were very small and uncomfortable. And we feel that at least water should have been provided on the overnight trip. Otherwise it was a fantastic tour . I would recommend anyone wanting to do this tour to use Europamundo

Classical Korea and Japan
Anonymous | Traveled in October

A very memorable trip! What made the trip so great was all of the hands on experiences: sushi making, origami, tea ceremony, stencil making, gold leaf making. The Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel's restroom was filthy. The toilet, sink, and tub were nasty. The other hotels' restrooms were very clean. The Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba, Odakyu Hotel de Yama had stains in the carpets.

    Tips for seniors traveling to Japan

    Age range for senior tours in Japan

    At Bookmundi, senior travelers are generally defined as individuals aged 60 and above, but there is no strict age limit. Most senior tours are thoughtfully crafted for those aged 50 and up, ensuring comfort, ease, and enriching experiences throughout the journey. While younger participants might occasionally join, the pace and style of these tours are clearly geared toward mature travelers.

    Recommended activities and destinations for seniors in Japan

    Japan offers a wealth of senior-friendly activities emphasizing culture, nature, and relaxation. Cultural landmarks like Kyoto’s serene temples and Nara’s ancient shrines provide enriching experiences with minimal exertion. Mt. Fuji’s scenic views are accessible via comfortable train rides or boat cruises, making it easy to admire without intense hiking. Hiroshima Peace Park offers an emotional yet easy stroll through history, while a sushi-making session adds an interactive, low-energy cultural touch. Seniors should note that places like Kyoto’s historic districts may involve some uneven paths and stairs. However, challenges can be overcome by using walking poles, taking advantage of rickshaw rides, or choosing guided tours that allow ample rest stops. Check out other things to do in Japan and some of the most recommended destinations.
