    A very scenic tour of the Northern Island of Hokkaido (JPN195269E)....Exceptional accommodations and seafood was very good. The itinerary was varied and extensive. The Tour Guide Hui Liang was superb and worked long hours to support our travel group. We had her previously on our Japan Classic Tour in March 2017.

We do not include airport transfers outside of the very first and last day of tour and outside the complementary airport transfer windows.

      TravelerWritten July 2024

      May I know what time guests will arrive at Tokyo Station? From Tokyo station to airport, will that be a limo bus or coach transfer? Guests are planning to stay one night near the Tokyo airport and would like to know if you can drop them up at the hotel near the airport?

    • Supera ToursOperatorWritten July 2024

      We will then board the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) as a group to Tokyo Station. From there, our guide or a member of our Supera staff will send everyone to NRT together mid-afternoon. Guests with extended stays have the option to disband at Tokyo Station if they are staying in the city, or, they may travel to NRT together with the group in the complementary send-off via airport limousine bus.
