WHY TRAVEL WITH JAPAN AND MORE?
VERY SMALL GROUPS
On these tours, you will explore Japan in a small group of 8 people or less – half the size of most other small group tours! This allows you to have more flexibility in the day-to-day schedule and more personalized attention beyond what any other tour can offer.
Instead of seeing Japan through a tour bus window, you will experience walking through busy shopping streets, taking trains and subways, and enjoying family-run restaurants that often only have a few seats available.

FLEXIBLE DAILY SCHEDULE
These tours are not about rushing through sites and checking each one off a list. You can take your time to appreciate the beauty of the Zen gardens, enjoy a green tea ice cream, chat with enthusiastic school kids, or stop for a matcha tea in a centuries’ old teahouse. This is your adventure!
In addition, if you’re tired, need some alone time, or just want to relax in one of the state-of-the-art hotels, you are always free to explore on your own.

RIDE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
On these tours, you will take public transportation in order to see the real Japan. School kids to top executives ride the trains, subways, and buses making Tokyo’s stations the busiest in the world! The trains are safe, unbelievably clean, and the best way to interact with the people and experience the culture.
Becki and Shawn do the research and take care of all the details, so you don’t have to figure out train schedules, stand in line for seat reservations, or worry about getting on the wrong train.

DINE AT LOCAL RESTAURANTS
These tours take you to small, family-run restaurants that you probably wouldn’t find in a guidebook. Unlike larger groups, you won’t be eating all your dinners at a hotel buffet. You will have the opportunity to try a variety of restaurants including local delicacies and Japanese kaiseki.
Becki and Shawn know where to eat, what to order, and how to interact with the staff so you can have a truly authentic dining experience.
