    By far the best tour guide I’ve had in a while. He was so enthusiastic about all the places and educating us about the historical significance of food, places, and Japan as a whole. Billy did an awesome job of getting everyone involved and I think he just made all the stories so fun and interesting.

    I 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. Our tourguide Sherry was full of energy, always positive, dancing and singing, well organized, eager to share her knowledge and experiences and she was personally envolved and kindharted. 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.

    What 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!)

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Can we book different accomodations if we don't want to deal with the shared pod rooms?

    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten 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

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      The 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 AdventuresOperatorWritten 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.

    What about departure dates April 3 or April 5?

      We do have availability on our tour commencing 5th, would this departure date work for you?

    Anna

    Asked on February 18th, 2025

    is the Train pass still working after the departure date or is it over and i have to book a single train ticket?

    Transport
    • One Life AdventuresOperatorWritten 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!
