  • K

    Kim

    Asked on February 11th, 2026

    On the Japan 13 day tour do the buses have toilets on them and are the hostels private rooms and bathrooms or do you share rooms and bathrooms.

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      We mainly travel by train throughout Japan. The longest journey without toilet access would usually be around 1.5 to 2 hours. On the larger trains there are toilets available on board.

      Accommodation is in shared hostel style rooms with shared bathroom facilities. If you would prefer your own private room, that can sometimes be arranged. We would just need to check availability for your dates.

  • H

    Heather

    Asked on February 9th, 2026

    We love the itinerary and it looks fantastic overall. We were wondering if it would be possible to stay in hotels instead of hostels, with each couple having their own private room. Additionally, do you offer this itinerary as a private tour for a group of six people?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      Our Japan Adventure 13 day includes the absolute best of Japan, plus some off the beaten path experiences, amazing accommodation, an instant group of friends and an awesome group leader to take care of everything. Hang out with red faced snow monkeys, wield a samurai sword, stay overnight in a 1000 year old buddhist temple with local monks are just some of the many highlights!

      It wouldn't be possible to run a private group for 6 people, but we certainly look into the possibility of 3 private rooms for you on one of our Group departures. The only time of year where private rooms can never be organised is during Cherry Blossom season (March/April) due to availability during peak season.

      The private rooms would be booked at the same accommodation as the rest of the group are staying. It wouldn't be possible to have you staying at different hotels due to the effect that would have on logistics and the group dynamic, sorry about that! There is one location where it isn't possible to have a private room, Hakone, but we can book you into private rooms at all other accommodations (subject to availability).

      That said, we strongly recommend not having a private room for the 2 nights in Nagano and the 1 night in Koyasan as the traditional Ryokan and Buddhist temple shared is very much part of the experience!

    • H

      Heather

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      Could you please let me know the cancellation policy?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      If your plans were to change and you were no longer able to travel with us then the policy is as follows:
      Up to 30 days before departure: Forfeit deposit
      Within 30 days of departure: 100% forfeit of the tour cost.

      We do have flexible options to help change your dates and tour if needed though!

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      Our group consists of three couples: one couple is in their mid-60s, and the other two couples are in their early 60s.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      We do want to be upfront that our tours are designed and capped for travellers aged 18–49. This age range isn't about ability, attitude, or enthusiasm, it's simply how we've shaped the style and dynamic of our groups, so that everyone has the experience they've come to expect. Majority of our group members are usually in their 20s and 30s.

    What would happen if I can't get my visa?

    Visa
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      You will need to organise your visa yourself and in advance. Depending on your nationality you may have different requirements for the application. We aren't experts in visa, so if you have any concerns about your eligibility for a visa, we'd recommend you organise this and then you can book onto our tour with confidence.

  • A

    Amy

    Asked on December 31st, 2025

    Can an age range exception be made? I am in my 70s and physically fit for the tour.

    Age Range
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      We set an age range to make sure the style, pace, and overall vibe of our group tours stays consistent for everyone. Our trips are designed specifically for travellers aged 18–40s, which is why we have a maximum age limit of 49. This isn't based on attitude, fitness or ability. It's simply about maintaining the trip style and group dynamic that our travellers come expecting.

    Taylor

    Asked on December 28th, 2025

    Visa
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten December 2025

      With regards to your visa, you will need to organise this yourself and in advance, it's pretty easy to do. Depending on your nationality you may have different requirements for the application. You can find information from the official government website. Unfortunately we aren't experts in visa, so it's always best to check with your local embassy or consulate before travelling
