Our Self-Guided packages are based on an itinerary covering your accommodation and transport in Japan. We have links with hundreds of hotels and traditional Japanese inns across Japan from Hokkaido to Okinawa, so whichever destinations you have in mind we can make it possible.
You can choose one of our Self-Guided itineraries to start you off, or you can suggest a list of destinations yourself. To this basic itinerary we can add a range of extra elements, such as occasional private guiding, tickets to sporting events such as baseball and sumo and a range of cultural experiences, such as tea ceremony, flower arranging and a selection of very special geisha experiences in Kyoto.
There is no end to the possibilities that can be included in your trip, from bear watching in the mountains to dressing up as a samurai/geisha couple in the heart of Kyoto for that perfect honeymoon snapshot!
Each Self-Guided itinerary is different, as we work closely with the customer to make sure the plan is exactly right for them. All of our UK office staff have lived and worked in Japan and have travelled the country extensively, so you will have your trip designed by those with a wealth of knowledge on the variety of destinations Japan has to offer.
After your initial email to us, you will be sent an initial itinerary proposal for your trip based on the information you have provided us with. This will usually include suggestions for accommodation, transport and any special activities that may be of interest.
We encourage our customers to read through the proposal carefully and then let us know their comments. We then begin to alter and adapt the plan, fine-tuning it (with your approval) until it matches your requirements exactly. No payment is required until you are completely happy with your itinerary and we have confirmed your accommodation.
