- GGeorge· December 16th, 2024I love the 10 day tour of Japan! I chose the tour because of the locations and included activities. It was really good to have our tour guide Sarah direct us around on the different transport stations in particular with all the tickets etc already organised. She kept us all updated with detailed itineraries, meeting times, local food suggestions etc on the Whatsapp group. Some of the activities I never would have done otherwise and I stepped out of my comfort zone on a couple for sure. Sarah was amazing at giving us information and facts at all of the stops and answer any questions we had. I appreciated the early starts on some of the days to beat the crowds of tourists. My highlights were the Hakone boat trip, Kimono hire and tea ceremony, Takayama and Zen garden trip. Personally I would have spent more time in the more scenic country areas in Hakone and Takayama. However the point of the tour was to give a flavour of each area and has given me the confidence and insights to go back to the areas I enjoyed most in the future. We had a really small group which was nice. I would imagine it get's slightly chaotic with bigger groups moving around together in the cities. For luggage I look a 65L case that was about 3/4 full and a big backpack (hand luggage). It was just about enough for me, but there were times when I thought a slightly bigger case would have been better. There were quite a few opportunities to shop and explore alone and I saw some things I wanted to get but didn't have the space. I found food and shopping to be much cheaper than the UK and 130,000 yen was enough for me (I stayed a couple of extra days at the end of the tour in Tokyo). I would suggest a pocket wifi for the duration, which worked fine for me and was essential for navigating streets and trains in the free time. We had great weather at the end of November, only a couple of rainy days but temperatures dropped in the mornings and evenings. Waterproof and comfy shoes were needed! Step count averaged out at around 19,000 a day. The time of year was perfect for autumn leaf viewing, especially the yellow Ginkgo trees!! At the end of the tour I travelled back to Tokyo for a few days and Sarah organised a Mount Fuji side ticket on the bullet train which I really appreciated. Thanks Sarah and OneLife team!! I'll never forget this trip of a lifetime!!Show moreTrip date: April 2024
- LLLucy· December 15th, 2024I’ve just finished the 10 day tour of Japan and reflecting on the incredible experience it was. I’ve seen so much and experienced all the amazing things Japan has to offer and loved every minute! Evie our tour guide was just fantastic - full of energy, knowledge, fun and made the experience what it was- incredible! I can’t imagine a better guide, and so glad I booked on her tour. From her secret photo spots for the best pics, incredible food recs, the best bars, guiding us on the transport systems easily, and guiding us everyday, she did such a great job. Thanks so much Evie! My feet need a rest now but what an adventure, love Japan!!Show moreTrip date: December 2024
- Tomisin· December 13th, 2024Evie was an amazing guide and was extremely helpful with accommodating the various request from the group. Ask for the tour Evie is leading!!! It is definitely intense with quite a bit of travelling so pack light and always have snacks with you.Trip date: December 2024

- KOKsana· December 7th, 2024I just enjoyed my last day on the 10 day Japan tour and there are not enough stars to truly rate just what an incredible experience this has been! Anna, our tour guide, was engaging, informative and really bent over backwards to ensure each and every member of our group had the trip of a life time. This was my first experience travelling with a tour group and if every guide does as stellar a job as Anna then there are a lot more in my future. Cannot recommend her and OneLife Adventures enough.. 10/10 would do again!Show moreTrip date: November 2024

- L· December 6th, 2024This was an amazing first entry to Japan, with many memorable experiences (Mt Fuji ❤️🏔). Anna was friendly, careful and very approachable, always open to any questions and wanting to make your trip as suitable for you as possible. No one was lost or injured, always a plus 😅. Be aware though, the 10 day tour is quite the whirlwind 🌪might be a good idea to do some walking beforehand to prepare🚶♂️✈️ Now that I've got this tour under my belt I feel ready to take on Japan! Thank you Anna and OneLife! 🤙✨️Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for your review L! We're glad to hear that you had a memorable experience with us in Japan.

- JJane· December 3rd, 2024I joined the 10 day tour across Japan with One Life Adventures. From start to finish the trip exceeded my expectations. Our guide Daan, was really knowledgeable, got us to where we needed to be on time and really made the trip run smoothly. It's really hard to choose a favourite part of the trip as the tour really packed in a variety of experiences and activities, from sushi making, kimono wearing, visiting many of the beautiful temples and shrines, to taking a kendo class, riding the shinkansen and visiting Mount Fuji. We got to sing karaoke with the locals in Kyoto which was really fun and we were able to visit and Onsen in Takyama to truly relax (and it snowed). I've really enjoyed my time in Japan and was able to share the adventure with a great group of people too.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for your lovely review Jane! We're thrilled to hear that your time in Japan surpassed your expectations.

- AGAlexandra· December 3rd, 2024If you want to see Japan, but not sure what to do or want to plan everything yourself this is the perfect tour. Was best inclusions and value I found. The people on tour were lovely and guide Daan could not be better. Went above and beyond sharing tid bits or navigating unforeseen events such as getting us to Mt. Fugi despite high winds!Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback Alexandra! We're pleased to hear that you found the tour a perfect fit for you.
