    Thank you for providing your feedback, and we trust that your exploration of Japan during its captivating cherry blossom season on our small group tours was an enriching experience. Regarding your dietary requirements, our tour leader discussed the dining menu with you at the commencement of the trip and we have tried our best to accommodate your dietary needs throughout our 13-day trip. There were few instances where the restaurants were unable to accommodate, and we are actively working with them to improve on this aspect for upcoming trips. Travelling to remote areas like Takayama also pose some challenges with non-English speaking restaurants/menu but it is a part of the travel experience in Japan. It was a pleasure to have you experience Japan on our highly-regarded 13-day Japan in-depth tour during this picturesque blossom season, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another journey to Asia in the future.

    Tour Details
    • Tweet World TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      March and April are excellent times to visit Japan, offering ideal conditions to experience the cherry blossom season. I understand you are interested in joining our 13-day Japan Cherry Blossom Tour departing on 20 March 2026. While this scheduled departure is currently fully booked, we are pleased to advise that we can operate a private tour for your group of four at the same price (subject to hotel availability). Should the originally planned hotels no longer be available, there may be a slight price adjustment; however, any change would be minimal. We have recently refined the 13-day itinerary to further enhance comfort and the overall travel experience.

      how much would the private tour cost with 4 -4.5 star hotels and how many would be in the group?

    • Tweet World TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      Our small group tour features a carefully selected mix of 4- and 5-star hotels, which will also be included in your private tour. We are pleased to offer your private tour at the same price as the group tour, subject to hotel availability. In the event that any of the originally planned hotels are no longer available, there may be a slight adjustment to the price, though any change would be minimal.
