About this trip
A private, tailor-made journey from Tokyo to Osaka, taking in two of Japan's former capitals along with the modern capital itself. It's built for families, with your own guide and driver throughout rather than a fixed group itinerary.
Expect a mix of old and new Japan, from Mount Fuji views to Tokyo's ramen counters, with a bullet train ride linking the Kanto and Kansai regions.
Accommodation, tickets, meals, transport and an expert guide are all included, so the logistics are handled and the days are shaped around what you want to see.

Worth it if you want a customized itinerary tailored to your group's needs with reliable, knowledgeable guides. Think twice if you're budget-conscious about last-minute bookings or sensitive to Japan's summer heat.
- Amber revises itineraries multiple times without pushing back; guides like Yuya are genuinely knowledgeable and make food recommendations.
- Guides and drivers consistently arrive on time; nothing ran off schedule across multiple families and solo travellers.
- Last-minute bookings appear workable but may carry cost implications; heat in summer is notable enough for travellers to mention.
- Pricing described as reasonable; hotels comfortable but reviews don't specify which ones, so check specifics for your dates.
