- NNicole· May 11th, 2025I had an amazing time, we had a group of 10 people with different nationalities aging from 19 to 40, with three sets of 2 (one couple and 2x2 friends) and 4 single travellers. I liked that variety and we had some good laughs! We had the chance to do and see more than I expected, I really feel this was a good introduction to Japan.

She really knows what she’s talking about in Japan, she had an answer to all the questions and was willing to help with anything.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThanks so much for your review Nicole!

- OGOlivia· May 10th, 2025What an absolutely amazing trip. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants an introduction to Japan. It was a great way to experience the Japanese culture, see some beautiful sites and try lots of tasty food! The tour was really well structured with a good balance between guided time and free time, and you’ll get to visit a real variety of locations. It is fast paced, with a fair few early mornings and long days, but the benefit of that was that we got to see more sights and also often managed to avoid the crowds at the major tourist spots. Our tour guide Sherry was fantastic, she went above and beyond to make sure we all had an enjoyable trip. She was really organised throughout and incredibly knowledgeable on Japanese culture. She was always happy to answer any questions we had and offer support. Her enthusiasm and positivity were contagious and she did a great job at motivating us all (especially on our early start days!)Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review Olivia!

Asked on March 22nd, 2025Is this tour open for solo travelers? Is there a single supplement? Do you pick us up from the airport to the hotel or do we need to get there by ourselves?

We do have age limits to ensure the best experience for all our participants. Guests must be 18 years or older to join. While we believe that all adventurers are young at heart, our tours are tailored for those aged 18-39, which is why we have an upper age limit of 45 years. We do in fact have a tour commencing 25th October, 2025 that is focused on travellers aged 45+, this will also be our award winning Japan Classic adventure! Would this date work for you?

Asked on March 3rd, 2025How intense in physical activity is this tour? For example, how much walking

Stacey
Traveler•Written March 2025Can we book different accomodations if we don't want to deal with the shared pod rooms?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025
This tour does offer an action packed itinerary that can be physically demanding, with 20,000+ steps being done day by day. If you did wish to not take part in any activities, this would also be absolutely fine and will allow time to get some rest in. Regarding accommodation, we have handpicked each stay to ensure comfort and a perfect location throughout the whole of the tour. If you did wish to book separate accommodation, this would need to be done independently.
- S
Stacey
Traveler•Written March 2025The reason we asked about the accomodations is that we are a married couple and my husband snores at night, so it's probably not a great experience for the other guests. I'm assuming for most of the hotels, we would be places together and it's only the Kyoto location that we would need to look for other accomodations?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025
Nights 1,2,3,4,9,10,11,12 and 13 will all be spent in twin share accommodation, once you and your husband process your order together, you will automatically be paired up for these nights. Nights 6,7 and 8 will be spent in Kyoto, this will be the pod style dormitory rooms where each guest will get their own private pod, however it will be in a multi share dorm room. Night 5 will be our unique temple stay experience in Takayama, rooming situations here can vary, however usually couples get the option to stay in a twin share room.

Taylor
Asked on February 28th, 2025What about departure dates April 3 or April 5?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025
We do have availability on our tour commencing 5th, would this departure date work for you?
- A
Anna
Asked on February 18th, 2025is the Train pass still working after the departure date or is it over and i have to book a single train ticket?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025
If you purchase the bullet train pass through us, it will typically be used 1–2 days after the tour ends. However, if you're planning to stay longer, I'd recommend getting it when you're in Japan, your guide will be happy to show you how!
