    The price is not included with international flights so you will need to arrange this separately. Nights 1-4 Twin/Double Rooms: If you and your travel companion book together, you'll automatically be placed in the same room for all twin/double nights. Night 5 Temple Stay: This will be a traditional experience with multi-share rooms, the room is either for 9, 5 or 3 people. Nights 6, 7 & 8 Ryokan Hostel Gion (Kyoto): You'll be staying in a pod-style dorm. Each person gets their own private pod (not shared), very comfy and a true part of Japan's modern hostel culture.

    the price listed is per person, so it stays the same whether you're travelling solo, and would simply be multiplied by two if you're booking for two people. Many of our guests actually join solo, so you'll be in great company!

    As for the pirate ship in Hakone, we usually go there (around 90% of the time), so chances are good. But since it's not officially part of the itinerary, we can't guarantee it every time, as it depends on things like weather and seasonal conditions. The kendo class, however, is still part of the tour and definitely something to look forward to!

  I would like to know if there is the option to take private room (double) with bathroom and the relevant cost.

  Accommodation

    We don't offer single room upgrades in Japan, one reason is the cost of standard hotel rooms in Japan not being budget friendly and would make the tour significantly more money. Furthermore, we prefer to include some really cool unique accommodation experiences, i.e the temple stays and pods, rather than standard single hotel rooms, so you can make your time in Japan as memorable as possible, feeling like you've really immersed yourself into the culture and lifestyle of the locals.

    I want just to clarify if in the same room will stay more people than us (we are a couple). We do not have any issue to have common facilities, but we prefer to have our own room.

    One Life AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025

    So the room layout will be as follows: Day 1 - Twin-share, Day 2 - Twin-share, Day 3 - Twin-share, Day 4 - Twin-share, Day 5 - Multi-share (unique temple stay), Day 6 - Pod-style per person in multi-share dorms, Day 7 - Pod-style per person in multi-share dorms, Day 8 - Pod-style per person in multi-share dorms, Day 9 - Twin-share. All the twin-share accommodations shall be shared with just you and your partner.

  Is that a suggestion due to the activities involved or do you not accept people older than that in your tours?

  I am traveling by myself and I'd like to know whether I would have to pay a single supplement, and how much will that be? Is it possible you could arrange a another Solo Traveler to share the room with me?

At the same time we know that keeping it affordable and pocket friendly for you is vital. We actually get continuous great feedback after the tour finishes from our guests, saying that sharing with another like minded traveller allowed them to build wholesome connections and share experiences as a group/family while at the same time ticking off the typical Japanese style accommodations together. Our Japan tour consists of twin and multi share rooming - during the twin-share nights you will be paired up with another solo traveller of the same gender. The multi-share nights will be spent in unique accommodation. You will get the chance to stay in a temple whilst learning to live like monks, and in pod style dormitory rooms only shared with other members from your One Life Adventure.
