    Dear Kurt: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your guide, and we also want to provide some clarification regarding the hotels and optional tour. All the hotels used for this itinerary were 3-star or 4-star properties, chosen for their comfort, convenience, and location. In Tokyo, we stayed at Hotel Villa Fontaine Ueno Okachimachi, which holds strong 4-star reviews on Google and is excellently located just about 1 mile from the famous Senso-ji Temple. In Osaka, our guests stayed at the Osaka Castle Hotel, within walking distance of the iconic Osaka Castle. Additionally, we included two 4-star hotels to enhance the travel experience — Star Gate Kansai Hotel and Mercure Nagano Hotel. As for the optional Hiroshima tour, it is designed to provide not only a meaningful cultural experience but also a unique travel opportunity. This tour includes round-trip bullet train tickets, private door-to-door transportation, and a visit to the beautiful Miyajima Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in addition to Hiroshima itself. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to ensure every guest feels they’ve had a well-rounded experience with us.

    David

    Asked on September 9th, 2026

    How many spots left for 9th Nov departure? Is there many solo travellers? Can you confirm the male and female split especially the solo travellers? Are you able to provide the current rough age group in the 9th of Nov departure.

    Age Range
    Group size
    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written September 2026

      For November 9th this tour is not guaranteed yet. There are only two guests booked. We have Splendid Japan tour that's already a guaranteed departure on that day. The itinerary is extremely similar and the price is the same. There are 8 spots left for the splendid Japan tour. We havent created the name list. But we have guests of all ages on the tour. They are typically from 30 to 80.

    • D

      David

      Traveler•Written September 2026

      I would like a trip that includes shirakawa - is that the one which doesnt have a guranteed departure? Also do you arrange short trips from osaka to tokyo via with overnight stay along the way?

    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written September 2026

      Correct. The Splendid Japan tour doesn't have Shirakawago on the itinerary. Sorry we don't have short trips from Osaka to Tokyo. Our guests are overseas travelers.

    • D

      David

      Traveler•Written September 2026

      As you mentioned the tour is not guranteed for 9th Nov to 16th Nov departure. At what point is the booking guranteed?

    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written September 2026

      We will likely cancel the Nov 9th departure because its already two months before the departure date. We will operate Splendid Japan for that day.

      The price is 1799 USD per guest and the flight is not included. This is a fully guided tour with the following included: 3 star hotels with daily breakfast, transportation between cities and attractions by tour bus, English speaking tour guide, admission to listed attractions.

  • A

    Alan

    Asked on July 15th, 2026

    Is it possible to accommodate three adults in one hotel room, or do we need to split our family into two separate rooms?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written July 2026

      Generally speaking, hotel rooms in Japan are much smaller than Western standards, and the vast majority of hotels do not have triple rooms available.
      To ensure everyone has a comfortable stay, we will need to arrange two separate rooms for your party (one double/twin room and one single room). Because of this arrangement, a single supplement of $468 USD will apply.

  • E

    Eileen

    Asked on June 30th, 2026

    Could you please advise on the pricing for a 5-year-old child at the time of booking?

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      They are also after a joining/connecting room accommodation for the group of 4, ideally 2 double rooms.

    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      Please note that the price for the 5 years old is the same as adult.

    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      We can certainly arrange two rooms for the 4 of you. But connecting rooms aren't common in Japan.

    • E

      Eileen

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      I would just like to clarify that you saying that you are unable to book us a pretour 1night accommodation with this tour at the same hotel and that we will have to do this ourselves? I have done this previously with another tour on tourradar and they were able to just book it running onto our tour so we didn't need to change rooms or anything. It this not possible?

    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      We can certainly book the extra night hotel for you for 200 USD per room per night.

    • E

      Eileen

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      Could we please have that price in AUD not USD. Also would that price be inclusive of breakfast. Would we be in 2 rooms on the tour, or the 4 of us in 1 family room? I am only asking because we are hoping not to have to change rooms if we book the additional day at the beginning.

    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      Looks Like the exchange rate is 1 USD=1.45 AUD according to google now. So it's 290 AUD per room per night. We will booking two separate rooms for the 4 of you.

    • E

      Eileen

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      The only other thing I would like to ask is if we have to pay to pay the full amount now, or just a deposit and the balance later?

    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      Only the deposit is required at this time. I believe it's 30% of the total.

    • E

      Eileen

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      If we book this tour tomorrow and then have trouble at a later date trying to book the additional night before the tour start date, are we able to get back to you and see if you are still able to book it for us? And would the price of $200US quoted earlier include breakfast for us like the tour does?

    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      Yes no problem. We will book the extra night hotel for you when needed. The price I quoted already has breakfast included.

    Asked on June 8th, 2026

    I am looking to book this tour for 2 Adults & 1 Child sharing one room with king / queen bed or two double bed. Could you please provide the very best quote for 2 adults + 1 child sharing one room.

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • Stunning ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      Triple rooms can be more expensive than having two rooms in Japan because they are not available at many hotels. That's why we would recommend two rooms for better experience.

  • L

    Leah

    Asked on May 20th, 2026

    I would like some information on the availability of vegetarian food for people on 8D tour. I understand only breakfast at hotels is included.

    Meals
