    Jonathan

    Asked on January 30th, 2025

    The tour says partially guided. So for the 11 days which one is guided?

    Tour Details
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten January 2025

      All tours include an English-speaking guide. There is no guide included on the day of arrival and departure and also no guide included on the trains.

    Asked on January 3rd, 2025

    May I still be able to see some part of the cherry blossoms? I can't be in Japan earlier. Do you advise for me take additional tour going north after this tour so I can see the cherry blossoms

    Tour Details
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten January 2025

      While the cherry blossoms are typically at their peak in late March to early April, there are still chances to catch them in late April, especially in northern regions like Hokkaido. You could consider extending your tour with a visit to places like Sapporo or other northern areas, where cherry blossoms bloom later, usually into mid-April.

      Which hotel is standard or boutique?

    • S

      Susan

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Have read the hotel choices. Between Sakura Sky Hotel versus Hotel Celestine which one is the standard or boutique hotel. And so with the rest of hotels in Kyoto and Osaka? Which ones are the standard vs boutique?

    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten January 2025

      Sakura Sky Hotel would be standard (3 stars) and Hotel Celestine is boutique (4 stars). However, please know that this is just one example - as what you are choosing is a category, not a specific hotel (it might not be Sakura or Celestine). For example, in Kyoto a boutique hotel could be The Royal Park Hotel.

    Asked on October 11th, 2024

    is this tour fully guided? The descriptions on some days make it sound like we're left on our own??

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten October 2024

      all our tours are fully guided. For group tours, participants will need to meet the guide at centralized meeting points, and from there, they will be taken care of throughout the tour. If you choose a multiple-day package, there will be self-transfers via bullet train. We take care of all the arrangements and provide detailed instructions, allowing customers the flexibility to travel independently between cities. For private tours, our guides will meet you at your hotel.
