What our customers ask about this tour

Christine
Asked on March 18th, 2025Are there any group discounts available?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025
Group discounts may be available depending on the specifics of the booking. It's best to inquire directly with us during the booking process for any available offers.
- B
Brittany
Asked on March 13th, 2025Is it possible to "privatize" this tour? What I mean by that is there are going to be six of us traveling to Japan this fall (possibly more, but definitely six.) Would it be possible for our group to have our own small tour, rather than being part of a larger tour with strangers? If this is an option, how much would it cost?
- B
Brittany
Traveler•Written March 2025With the possibility of privatizing the tour, what's the flexibility of travel dates like? We're interested in doing October or November for the trip (but could possible be persuaded to do September.)
- B
Brittany
Traveler•Written March 2025With privatizing the tour in mind, how much of the itinerary is customizable? The base itinerary is exactly what we're aiming for, but there are a few extra things we were interested in trying/seeing, if possible. If customization is possible, how much would that be?
- B
Brittany
Traveler•Written March 2025What is the rooming situation like? We'd prefer to avoid hostel-style rooming, if possible.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025
We do have a tailor made team who specializes in putting together private group departures. Based on your below information you check off a lot of minimum requirements needed.

Brittany
Traveler•Written March 2025I wanted to confirm the price quoted for either tour -- Essential Japan would be $1,838 USD per person, while Japan Family Holiday would be $3,775 USD per person?
- B
Brittany
Traveler•Written March 2025I wanted to also inquire if these tours are customizable at all, or if they're strictly "as per brochure"?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025
The quoted prices are for the tour "as per brochure", meaning the exact same itinerary on the website, without any customizations. At this time we are not able to offer customizations due to the previously mentioned staffing and availability concerns.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025
On Essential Japan the accommodation is in hostels rather than hotels - but hostels in Japan are the nicest I've stayed in!
- B
Brittany
Traveler•Written March 2025If we were to commit to the Japan Family Holiday package within the next few days, would we pay the quoted price of ~$3775 USD per person?
- B
Brittany
Traveler•Written March 2025Is there any possibility of the tour getting cancelled after payment?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025
Once your group pays a $400 per person deposit, I will send the confirmation request to my local office. Once the tour is confirmed, you are committed to going, but this request process can take longer for Japan than our other destinations.
