Small Group Tours � Two free pre-tour nights!

To celebrate summer in Japan, we’re offering two free nights to settle in before your Small Group Tour even kicks off.

How you spend that time is up to you – and summer in Japan is a whole lot of fun.

For tours that start in Tokyo, take in the city from a packed-out rooftop beer garden, jump on the Shonan-Shinjuku line to see the giant Buddha at Kamakura, or grab salted lychee kakigori (shaved ice) from a street vendor to cool down. If you’re joining Hidden Japan, which sets off from Kyoto, you could visit one of over 1,600 temples and 400 shrines, or head over to Nara to meet the park’s friendly, free-roaming deer.

Whichever way you choose to spend your extra days, pick your tour from the list below and sneak in an additional two nights for free – available for a limited time only.

Hidden Japan | 28th August - 9th September | $10,448

Why Small Group Tours are great

Led by an expert
Each tour is led by an Insider – a Japan expert who loves the country so much, they chose to call it their home. Each Insider will bring their unique personal experience to the tour – taking you to their own favourite haunts and explaining everyday culture in a way that helps you make sense of it all. You’re getting a slice of local life, from someone who is fluent in all things Japan!

Fun and sociable tours
You'll meet interesting people who love travel, are excited to discover Japan and love a natter over dinner.

People meeting for the first time on one of our tours have been known to keep the WhatsApp chat going for years. Some end up making firm friends for life.

Smooth travels
From buying train tickets to tracking down gluten free soy sauce and getting you from A to B (without getting lost on the way!), your Insider takes care of everything. Spend more time enjoying your trip and less time worrying about where your next hotel is, or how to change trains.
