  • P

    Pat

    Asked on August 20th, 2026

    Are males and females in separate rooms at the hostel? Is there someone who could help get from the airport in Tokyo to the hostel? If arriving the day before, are there private rooms at the hostel for 1 night? Or are there hotels with shuttle rides to the airport for the night before getting to the hostel the next day? Is it safe to do that for a female traveling alone? Do you recommend one airport over another?

    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written August 2026

      We can't guarantee same sex hostel rooms for the duration of the trip, but if she has a strong preference, we can make a note on her booking to request if it's ever available. Of course, if she is worried about sharing you can pay to upgrade to a private room. We can arrange a pre-night before the tour starts if arriving early no problem. For getting to and from the airport to the hostel we provide clear instructions on how to use the trains to get her to the accommodation which is perfectly safe as a female traveller. Tokyo is actually considered one of the safest major cities in the world for solo travellers.

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      Do you accept families traveling with children? (Ages 4,8,12,14)

    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2026

      This trip is for guests aged 18-55 and uses hostel as the standard accommodation. If interested in staying in hotels, we could potentially explore the option of a private tour. A private tour with hotels would be a lot more costly than this trip, but you'll be able to tailor the trip to how you like.

    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2026

      Using 4 and 5-star hotels with private transportation will be considerably more expensive than using 3-star hotels with public transport. 3-star hotels in Japan are of a very high standard and the Tokyo metro system is convenient and very punctual.

    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2026

      There can be a lot of walking in Tokyo. This is something to consider if you have a 4 year old that might get tired.

      Tanya

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      If I was to book Mount Fuji (which would finish at around 6pm of Day 1) I would only miss the briefing and introduction. Is the briefing an introduction important? So, it is better to get prepaid cards for the rail system in Japan?

    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written March 2025

      The standard accommodation we use is Hotel Sunlite Shinjuku where you can check in between 15:00 to 00:00.

    • T

      Tanya

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      Do you have the information for the other hostels (if there is any)? I am currently organising activities for any free time I get, including free days. Some of my activites have drop off facilities.

    • T

      Tanya

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      May be slightly off-topic, but do you have any knowledge on booking the more popular activities: - Hana Biyori Flower Park - DisneySea - TeamLab Digital Art Museum - Ghibi Park. The reason I ask is because I cannot purchase tickets for any of the above attractions and do not want to miss out. I'm assuming they have a limited time for advanced bookings (up to 2 months in advance). Any help is much appreciated.

    • T

      Tanya

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      Is it still possible to do an introduction later in the trip? I'd like to use this day to see Mt. Fuji if possible. There may be more, but I have another question regarding the rail system of Japan and what passes you need. From what I know, there is two different passes - 1 for JR Rail and 1 for the Shinkansen. I am unsure how they work and what I need for certain areas, especially Tokyo.

    • The Dragon TripOperator•Written March 2025

      You can join the trip on Day 2 at a later time. However, as this is a group departure, we cannot postpone any activities and you would miss out on any parts of the trip before your arrival. Would you consider adding an extra day on either side of the trip to include a day trip to Mt Fuji? If you are going to be staying in Tokyo for most of your time, it does not make sense to get the JR pass and it's easier to get individual tickets for your time there. For Tokyo - you will have prepaid travel cards for the activities on the tour. You can also buy prepaid Pasmo cards for your time there.
