Late Small Group Tour availability offers

Snap up some serious discounts on our spring Small Group Tours – departing between 1st March and 18th April.

Japan in spring means cherry blossoms (of almost celebrity status). The sakura zensen 桜前線 (or, cherry blossom forecast) predicts Tokyo’s first blooms on 24th March and full flower by 31st March. Further north in Sapporo, the flowers open later, set to start 1st May with full flower by 5th May. You’ll see the tours below that are most likely to coincide with bloom dates.

Alongside discounts of up to AU$2,518 we’re offering 2 free nights in Japan before your tour even starts*. These deals are available on a first come basis, so get in touch now.

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.
