      Traveler•Written April 2026

      If i wanted the airport transfer at the end of the trip, would i need to depart from the Nagasaki Airport, or would Fukuoka Airport also be eligible?

      Sylvia

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      I likely will not have mobile phone coverage while in Japan, but I will have other means of contact, such as WhatsApp and Email. Would this cause any issues along the way, especially if i am expect to contact the transfer service directly?

    • MW ToursOperator•Written April 2026

      Unfortunately this tour is required min of 2 pax travel together to guaranteed departure.

    Asked on November 14th, 2025

    I am interested in joining a small group tour in Kyushu. I am also keen to to travel around South Korea and Taiwan by joining a small group. I would like to travel in the July/ Aug period of 2026. I am finding it difficult to move around your website to check on dates, prices and full details of what is provided. I am happy for each tour to follow after each one. I do not want to travel alone, but also not really keen on a very large group. Do you have any ideas for me? I live in New Zealand, but will be in Bangkok in early July and would travel from there.
