    Dear Kathi, thank you so much for taking time to share your travel experience. It is our intension to show our clients more various places at the amazing destinations and enrich their tours. Most of the travelers are eager to see more sightseeing spots in a guided tour to make the maximum use of their tour expense and time. While, this may also depend on how much they could usually walk. The hot weather in summer season will also lead to fatigue from walking. We really appreciate your feedback, which helps a lot to improve our service in the future. We will ask for clients' preferences more carefully and make adjustments accordingly. Thank you again for your time. Best regards, AgateTravel Tours

      Pamela

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      What is the cost for 2 people (possibly 4) traveling on the tour?

    • Agate TravelOperatorWritten September 2025

      We don't suggest connecting a train and an international flight in the same day, as you may take a risk of missing your flight in case the train delays. You can take a taxi to the airport by yourselves as the private transfer in Japan is expensive.

    • Agate TravelOperatorWritten September 2025

      It is $2,687 per person with double occupancy in 3-star hotels after the discount.

    Asked on August 29th, 2025

    Can this tour be reversed? Start in Osaka and end in Tokyo?

    Tour Details
    • Agate TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      This tour is a mini group tour, which has the fixed schedule. So we could not do it in the reversed way. While we could arrange the private tour for you in the reversed way. However, the tour price for the private tour will be higher.
