What people love about Japan Tours

    I went on this tour as a solo traveler and thoroughly enjoyed it. The itinerary was very well-designed, including many famous attractions, making it perfect for first-time travelers to Japan. The optional Hiroshima trip with the bullet train was absolutely worth it and a highlight of the tour!

    Japan was so fun! A looooooot of free time so do you researches about what to do and visit in every city. Would have love more ''organised'' activities (like a dinner every night with the group,...). Compared to other G Adventures tour I did in the past, I felt that this group was less stick together since there was only a few group activities.

    "You see a lot on this tour for a very cheap price. Funding your own transportation to all of these places would quickly cost thousands of USD. That being said, this tour is focused on seeing rather than experiencing. You look at something quickly, and then are rushed back on the bus. The itinerary is packed so full that you end up spending more time on the bus than you do at the sites. Also, I would highly discourage vegetarians or people with allergies or other dietary restrictions from doing this tour. Japanese food often has hidden ingredients (like chicken broth added to sauces), so you have to be very careful when ordering. The tour guides were not helpful with this, often just saying, "I'm sure you'll find something," and leaving it at that. Luckily, I know enough Japanese to ask about whether dishes contain things I cannot eat, but after visiting 2 to 3 restaurants a night and being told there was nothing I could eat at any of them, my husband and I would often just look for an Indian restaurant. It was really frustrating. It wouldn't be hard to make lists of vegetarian friendly restaurants, halal friendly restaurants, etc. in each city we visit, but the tour guides didn't have that and didn't seem interested in helping at all.

Best time to visit Japan

  • Spring 2025
    Spring brings cherry blossoms. Tokyo and Kyoto parks are essential for ‘hanami’ (cherry blossom viewing). Mild weather is ideal for exploring cities, cycling in the countryside, and hiking.
  • Summer 2025
    Experience vibrant festivals like fireworks in Tokyo or Kyoto’s Gion Matsuri. Head to Okinawa for gorgeous beaches and water activities. Summer in Japan is hot, but mountainous regions are cooler.
  • Fall / Autumn 2025
    Autumn colors make Kyoto’s temples and Tokyo’s parks particularly striking. Cooler temperatures mean fewer tourists and are great for exploring cities and hiking.
  • Winter 2025 / 2026
    Winter in Japan means skiing in Hokkaido and the must-visit Sapporo Snow Festival in February. Relax in hot springs, see snow monkeys and admire snow-blanked landscapes, a treat for photographers.
