Japan One Life Adventures - 10 Days
Japan One Life Adventures - 10 Days4.8 (1,513 reviews)AWARD WINNERAfter only solo travelling for the last few years I was a little apprehensive to book a group tour. However the itinerary provided a great combination of scheduled activities and free time that made me feel like I got to see everything I wanted without feeling rushed. The guide (Alyssa) gave clear instructions and timings, even providing information during free time on what to do and how to get to suggested activities, and was available to quickly answer any question - regardless of how silly.

Epic Japan: Speed Trains & Street Food
Epic Japan: Speed Trains & Street FoodJapan 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.

Japan Express
Japan ExpressIt was a really great experience! Having both guided tours and lots of free time made for a nicely balanced tour where our guide, Toshimi, a very knowledgeable local, would show us parts of Japan and tell us of their significance historically and socially, and also tell us how and where to appreciate Japan during our free time. Our guide loves Japan's history and it was very interesting talking to him about Japan. He also made lots of great recommendations on places to see and eat at, and overall made the whole tour experience very convenient, fun, and informative.

Japan Adventure
Japan AdventureWow! What an amazing tour. Zoe is just amazing. Was so fortunate to travel in such a friendly group at such an amazing time of year with the blossoms. Loved the balance of free time and activities, with time to relax on nights in the mountains. Feel like 12 days was perfect to feel like I saw the best bits of Japan

Stunning Japan with Shirakawa-go (private 3 star hotel rooms)
Stunning Japan with Shirakawa-go (private 3 star hotel rooms)It was a very nice trip, with little, insignificant hiccup with accommodation in Osaka, which was resolved quite quickly. Yoyo, our guide, was funny and very patient with all of us. Definitely will recommend the tour to first time visitors to Japan.
