    We joined the 8-night Japan tour as a family of three and had a wonderful experience. The itinerary was well planned, covering so many amazing places across Japan. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the journey enjoyable, while the driver provided a smooth and safe ride throughout. The 3-star hotels were comfortable and clean, and each location gave us easy access to explore. Overall, this tour gave us beautiful memories as a family, and we truly appreciated every stop along the way. Highly recommended!

    Our family of four had a wonderful time on the 7-night Japan tour! The itinerary was well planned and gave us the chance to see so many highlights, including Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, Mt. Fuji, and the beautiful UNESCO site Shirakawago. The 3-star hotels were comfortable and conveniently located, making it easy for us to explore. Everything was well organized, and the balance of sightseeing and free time worked perfectly for our family. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the best of Japan in just over a week!

    · August 27th, 2025
    A mediocre tour filled with hours of dead time. We had the choice of a "free day" or $275 person for Hiroshima and some really crappy tourist island. The first hotel was very good, but they went downhill fast. The Tokyo hotel was poor. Our guide was very good, but look for a different tour company.

    The tour was quite good. The guide Yuren had good information regarding Japan and its culture and was interesting. The hotel rooms were very small but that is standard in Japan - it is possible to get bigger hotel rooms - you just need to pay more. We went to some interesting places that you wouldn't really go to on your own. There seemed to be some confusion regarding the information that the guide had and what was given to us by the company.

    This was a great tour experience from start to finish. Our tour guide, Jigen, was a true professional and was surprising to hear that he has only been doing this for about a year. He was a very knowledgeable and accommodating tour director and went out of his way to make everyone feel like they were his top priority.

    This was one of the best tours I’ve taken in years! With our fantastic guide Trend, I was able to see many of Japan’s most iconic sights. From bustling cities to serene countryside, from the majestic Mount Fuji to the stunning Fushimi Inari Taisha, every moment was unforgettable. We enjoyed mouthwatering ramen and the freshest sushi I’ve ever had. Truly a wonderful and enriching experience!

    What is the activity level per day? Are there many steps? If needed, is a wheelchair available?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten August 2025

      The activity level is medium. We have a lot of guests at the 70s and 80s. It's also very flexible because you can take rests anytime. Most of the attractions are easy to get around while there are stairs at a few temples and shrines. But like I mentioned you can take rests if needed. For group of 4 of more I will offer an additional 100 USD discount per guest, Let me know if you have any questions?

    Asked on May 15th, 2025

    I'm interested about this tour look great perfect for me but one question about Day 7 Tokyo Tour on Saturday 15th, I can little early left the group tour because I need go to Deaflympics opening ceremony in Tokyo stadium arena but still unofficial about what times to start the ceremony parade not yet (will be find-up in coming weeks)? What do you think?

    Tour Details
    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      Since the whole day touring on Day 7th is within Tokyo, it's okay if you wish to leave the group early. The public transportation is very convenient in Tokyo. The tour guide can also provide guidance on taking the train.
