nath· May 31st, 2025Excellent company love the tourShow moreTrip date: May 2025- ALAnh Vi· December 28th, 2024Excellent tour! I had such a great time with TruTravels. Our tourguide Marion and Claire were such sweethearts and gave a lot of tips and advice and a lot of history information. My group also so cool and we had so much fun for 12 days, time was flying so fast! This tour is great to discover the most popular places in Japan in a short time. I had no problems to travel with my group (with my luggage) and we did some additional activities like Teamlabs, Harry Potter Café, Nara Park, etc. I recommend apps like DeepL or Klook and also to buy a sim card beforehand as tourist sim card can be expensive in Japan (or maybe use eSim). The accommodation were also okayish, Tokyo and Osaka were a bit tight but the quality was good for the money. The activities like sushi workshop, kendo, tea ceremony, etc. were such amazing things and brought me closer to the culture. Overall I would book again with TruTravels, everything was great and amazing for my first time in Japan! 🥰💕Show moreTrip date: February 2024
- ABen Chapman· December 6th, 2024Hikari was an amazing tour guide. Sorting all the troubles with language barriers, adding in all the best local recommendations and showing us all the local spots. She made sure the whole trip ran smoothly, and kept looking after everyone. Giving recommendations, and helping out when people weren't up to the amount of walking needed for this trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience. And because of trip, I've fallen in love with Japan even more than I did before! Words really can't sum up how great Hikari has been on this tour. If you are going to have a tour guide, then pray that it's a tour guide half as good as Hikari, and you'll have an amazing time. Hikari also controlled the weather to make sure we had a view of Mt Fuji.Show moreTrip date: November 2024Review collected by TruTravels

- AShaun England· December 6th, 2024Morgan was personable, always open, approachable and Patient! Looking back I’m thankful for him just being himself as his passion for Japan came through everyday for us all to enjoy. I’m honestly left wondering if I’ll ever better the experience. His mix of Japanese and British heritage and culture puts you at ease the whole trip as you can relax as he leads you all the way. If all trutravel experiences were led by someone like Morgan I would always sign up again and again! I will be returning for a South American tour too, thanks to the unforgettable time I had with Morgan.Show moreTrip date: November 2024Review collected by TruTravels

Asked on March 27th, 2025I am interested in the Legend of Japan trip. I was wondering if what type of accommodations will be available? I prefer hotels but if the only options are hostels would there be an option for a private room?
- TruTravelsOperator•Written March 2025
The accommodations we use for this trip are hostels with dorm rooms, yes. The accommodation on this trip is all shared dorms (with your group only), except for at Koyasan where you'll stay in a traditional temple. The rooms there can accommodate up to 4 people. Due to the rooms we have allocated to us by our suppliers, we do not have the option to upgrade to My Own Room for this trip.
