What our customers ask about this tour

Tanya
Asked on August 14th, 2025Are the rooms shared? Only one person will travel and I wonder if she will be alone or sharing the room. Is the fully guide tour in English, or there is a possibility to have another language?
One Life AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025Yes the guest will share with other travellers of the same gender. On our Japan 14 day tour there are a mix of twin rooms in hotels and guest houses, pod dormitories and a multishare night in the temple! The tour guides are fluent in English and will be running the tours in English Language. It's not possible to request another language.

Asked on August 12th, 2025I'm looking at this trip for next summer. We are a family of 5. 2 adults and 3 kids. My kids are 9,11 and 13. Extremely fit and healthy capable of running 10k. Please confirm we can include this trip in our consideration. I noticed the age range is different.
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025
Unfortunately, at the moment, our tours are open to guests aged 18 and older. While we'd love to welcome everyone, this age requirement is in place for insurance and safety reasons, so unfortunately we wouldn't be able to include your children in the trip.

Asked on May 7th, 2025Would like to know if it is possible to do this trip even though we are in our 40s. Do we need to have less than 39? We are both fit and active.
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025
We implemented an age requirement of 18-45 to help manage the dynamic of the tour group and peoples expectations when joining the trip. We do generally see most of our bookings come from guests who are between the ages of 21-39, however as long as you are comfortable with that, then we would absolutely love to have you on board!
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025
We've just updated our age guidelines, and our Classic, Snapshot, and Expedition tours are now open to travellers aged 18 to 59! That means you are more than welcome to join us on any of these adventures.

Justin
Asked on May 6th, 2025Why is there an age limit?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025
Our decision to set an age range of 18 to 45 is aimed at ensuring all participants share similar expectations and comfort levels during the tour. We aim to create an environment where everyone can connect easily with fellow travelers of similar ages and energy levels. While we recognize that age is not always indicative of fitness, our age range helps us manage expectations and create a balanced dynamic within the group.
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025
Our Classic, Snapshot, and Expedition tours are now open to travellers aged 18 to 59. While that's our general guideline, if you were considering joining one of our trips and feel like you'd be a great fit for the experience, feel free to reach out, we're always happy to chat and see what's possible.

Asked on May 4th, 2025We are in our late 70s and are healthy and good walkers. However, I see this tour suggests young participants. Can you recommend a similar tour for our age? We would be looking for a tour in October.
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025
Due to popular demand, we have decided to have an open aged tour commencing on the 25th October, 2025. This tour will be our usual award winning Japan itinerary, however please do note that this tour does require over 25,000 steps per day!

Asked on May 4th, 2025Will we be offered support in booking other activities like teamlabs, usj and ghibli museum? Do these need to be booked ahead of reaching japan?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025
The best thing to do is check in with your guide. They'll have the most up-to-date info on the schedule and can let you know if there's time to fit it in and how best to make it work. As our Japan tour is pretty action packed, there is not much free time on the tour itself, however these activities can be done post tour :)

Vanessa
