On our Small Group Tours you will be part of a group of 10-14 people and will travel around Japan with the full-time services of a tour leader. These trips have set start dates throughout the year.
On a Self-Guided Adventure you will travel independently, not as part of a group and without a tour leader. We do usually include a day or two (or more) with a private guide, however, or we can include day tours. You can take a self-guided trip at any time of year, around dates that suit you.
If you have specific destinations in mind for your trip, or feel that none of our Self-Guided itineraries quite fit your plans, we can tailor-make a trip itinerary just for you, based on your thoughts and ideas. You might like to base your trip on one of our Self-Guided itineraries with a few adjustments to take in exactly the elements you are looking for.
Our Exclusive Private Journeys represent the very top end of tailored travel in Japan. On an Exclusive Private Journey you'll travel privately and enjoy the services of fantastic guides in every location, highly exclusive experiences, masterclasses with some of the country's most respected experts and artisans, and the very best of first-class travel and five-star accommodation throughout.
