I'd like to include activities around calligraphy class, Pokemon centers, sumo/samurai museums, origami class, Ghibli attractions, innovation museum, and cat cafes. Would you guys help me build that into the plan?

For any optional activities in your free time, most can be arranged on the ground, such as the Pokemon centres, museums or cafes. For Ghibli attractions or classes, we are unable to book these for you but we can advise you on the best times to visit and help you plan when you can take part during the tour.

1. The website says 'Fully guided (experienced guide the entire tour)' but in the 'What's included' section is says 'Guide on specified days (6 days)' which is half of the tour! 2. The 'Accommodation' section says 'in 3-star hotels in twin/double rooms'. Do they have a private bathroom? 3. TourRadar offers the lead traveler (the person who booked) a free 1GB eSIM for the trip. Even if I booked it, could I not allow my husband to get the eSIM? 4. Many tours offer daily breakfast. Does this tour not offer ANY breakfasts at all? 5.

Is the cost of the train included? 6. On Day-2, is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building included? 7. On Day-3: a. it says 'wander through the forest until you reach the Meiji Shrine.' Is the Meiji shrine included or not? It's not mentioned in the exclusions nor in the inclusions. b. is Harajuku included with the guide or not? The way the paragraph is written is not 100% clear.

1. We've updated the tour description to partially guided. 2. Yes, the accommodations will have a private bathroom. 3. From my personal experience, you'd typically have an activation code so you should be able to activate it on any phone. 4. No, this tour does not include any meals apart from the sushi making class. 5. The tour finishes in Kyoto but with the included JR pass you can take a train back to Tokyo. 6. The visit to the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan building is included and you'll have a chance to enjoy views of the Tokyo skyline. 7. Visits to Meji shrine, Harajuku and Shibuya are included and guided. You will have free time on your own after this. 8. The visit to the Electric Town is included but it will not be guided and the games will not be included. Likewise visit to the Sensō-Ji will not be guided. 9. It will be a hotel with traditional ryokan-style beds and an onsen. We typically use Hotel Green Plaza or a similar accommodation. The onsen visit is included. No, it will be a room for your family in a traditional style room. 10. The visit to the Horishima Peace Museum is included. We will use Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi or a similar accommodation. 11. Yes, it is included. The Tenryu-Ji and bamboo forest is included. 12. Fushimi Inari Shrine is included. Pontocho Alley tour is optional and would be independent. 13. You will have the JR pass so the transport from Kyoto is included in the tour.

Looking for a tour for a 65 year old female that's slower paced due to knee issues can't do stairs well that is going to Tokyo, My Fuji, Kyoto, koyosan, Osaka

All of our Japan tours include quite a lot of walking of 15,000-20,000 steps per day with a lot of stairs on some of the days. Unfortunately, I don't think out tours would be suitable and I would try to find an operator that offers covers the destinations with a private vehicle.

I'm a fit 80yr old. Would I be eligable?

This trip is reserved for travellers with children. Can I check if you would be travelling with a minor too?

Can I get your company to book us flights from and return to Edmonton?

Unfortunately, we currently cannot organize international flights. However, we can help with checking if the flights you find are suitable for the tour.

How do I confirm my booking?

Please confirm your booking as soon as possible, as we need to finalize arrangements.

What should I consider when booking a flight at the end of the tour?

It is advised to book flights at least 2-3 hours after your arrival in Tokyo to allow for airport security.

Is the tour suitable for a 12 1/2 year old granddaughter? Do we need a family room? Where do we eat if no meals are included?

The tour is designed with young adventurers in mind. We can arrange a triple room at no extra cost. Our adventure leader can provide recommendations on the best places to try Japanese food.

What is the age requirement for this tour?

The minimum age for this tour is typically set at 18 years old.

Is there a way to add flight? Are dates flexible by a few days? Can days be added on outside the tour?

We currently cannot offer to add flights to the booking - but we can help with advice once you have found fitting options. The tour dates are not flexible as this is a group departure, however, we can add extra nights on either side of the tour if you're interested.

Our tour was an excellent mix of modern culture and historic stops. Our days were jam packed with evenings free to do as we pleased (but honestly we were so tired we stayed “close to home”. We did SO much in 12 days. The time with the tour guides gave us the confidence to do that last three days of our Japan stay on our own.Show more

Juno Choi was excellent! He was very helpful and thoughtful. He was always willing to help us in everyday situations. He gave the extra mile all the time!! The only thing I would improve is that I would guide more in the places I visit because I don’t know what I am really looking at in the temples and shrine. We had general information, but I wanted a little more. Maybe a video with general information of the temples or shrines of what we are about to see or that they guide us directly to the spot. They gave us general info on the temple or shrine, but I didn’t know where to go after that.Show more

The tour was good; it had a lot of walking. It is certainly not for people that aren’t physically fit. Something to warn people about, for sure! I truly think you should consider asking a group like ours if they prefer to take all the trains and buses vs taking Uber or Taxi. Sometimes the difference was 100-200 Yen. The group could either pay the difference or you could add it to the price. When you change it to US dollars it is very little and the group could be willing to pay for it. Plus, being underground you don’t see anything, vs being in the taxi you can at least see part of the city. Another thing is that we save time when using the taxi because the transfers sometimes took longer, plus when we were carrying the luggage, it was stressful and strenuous with kids.Show more

Hey M, Thanks for your review of the 12-Day Japan Family Adventure. I apologies if the tour was too physically demanding for you or anyone you travelled with. We always try to make it clear to people who we think might struggle physically that the tours are quite physically demanding. This is pointed our on our website on the itinerary for the 12-Day Japan Family Adventure Tour webpage. I really appreciate your feedback regarding the option to take an Uber, taxi or train. I apologies for any inconvenience this might have caused. As part of being a growing tour company, we try to leave as little of a carbon footprint as possible which is why we'll opt for public transport like trains or subways where possible.

Great trip Our guide, Juno was amazing. The weather was super hot but he managed to keep us comfortable as we moved very quickly on public transport from site to site. Juno always had good well-priced meal suggestions and was super organized and cheerful. The hotels were very good or better. The hotel in Tokyo was noisy because it was near a hospital. A lightweight suitcase, with excellent wheels would be my suggestion for luggage versus a duffle bag Hiroshima was the most moving part of the trip Hakone was the most fun and I wish we could have stayed a bit longer. We stayed a few extra days to go to Disneyland, and I would recommend staying near Disney property versus downtown Tokyo. We could’ve used a midday break and then return to the park for the evening fireworks but it was super hot and we pooped out before closing.Show more

  What is the policy on tour refunds for a tour starting May 25, 2025? Are triple rooms available at all hotels? Will there be local guides each day? What assistance is provided to get to bullet train stations? Why is the Premium Insurance so inexpensive? Can you provide a list of optional tours in each city with costs?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written September 2024
  The deposit is non-refundable. You can change booking dates up to 70 days before tour. Triple rooms are available throughout the tour. The adventure leader helps get from city to city and provides recommendations during free time. Detailed itinerary will contain optional activities and their costs.
