    Christina

    Asked on December 28th, 2025

    Just wondering how strict the age limit of 39 is-- I'm turning 43 on January 3rd, but the others in the group are in their 30s and 20s. Thanks!

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2025

      The age restrictions on these tours are strict as these tours are catered for travelers between the ages of 18-39. In this scenario it might be best to look into our classic tours.

  • E

    Eric

    Asked on September 15th, 2025

    Would it be possible to stay with the 3 other people I am planning the trip with? I see the hostels are 4-6 people and was just wondering if we could be together at the hostels?

    Accommodation
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025

      Yes if you are booking with other travellers you will be allocated a room together, if you book separately we can still request that you room together but we would need written confirmation from all travellers that they are happy to do so. The accommodation breakdown is as follows; Hostels (4 nts, multi-share & shared facilities), traditional inn (1 nt, multi share room and shared facilities).

    • E

      Eric

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      When selecting nationality for the other people and they have 2 passports should I select the nationality that the passport is associated with or does it not matter? Example: lives in South Africa, has South African passport and British passport. Wants to use British passport for travel ease. Should I fill in British as nationality or South African?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025

      The passport selected needs to be the passport the traveller is travelling with for the tour. It is very important as we book all services for the tour with this information, so the passport on file needs to match the passport you are travelling with.

    Ray

    Asked on May 18th, 2025

    I am 40 years old and will only be in Japan during these dates. I hope you can give an exception since it is just 1 year older than the requirement.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025

      Unfortunately there are no exception for the age requirements on this tour, you must be no older than 39 years of age on Day 1 of the tour. We require passports to confirm your eligibility so you would need to look at alternative tours.

  • M

    Molly

    Asked on April 23rd, 2025

    I am 45 year old health adult with no issues. And wanted to see if there could be an exception for age.
