Would you be able to accommodate a tour for 14+ people? We run a tour company and would love to explore the possibility of partnering with you. If we were to arrange a private tour on a different date exclusively for our group, would you be able to offer us a discount?

We'd be more than happy to look at quoting your exclusive chartered Japan tour. Would you be looking to keep the Japan Essentials tour as it is with no changes? Would you be interested in adding any of the optional extra activities? The Essentials has been designed for younger travellers, dormitory stays throughout, less activities with instead more free time, and no unique acommodation/stays - allowing for the price to be more affordable to a younger market. The Classic tour is designed to give you a much more thorough Japan experience, unique Temple and Guest house stays as you visit the ancient Takayama and Hakone to get a sighting of Mt Fuji. Plus, more included activities which really allow you to feel and taste Japan. There is still free time throughout the tour to pick up your own personal interests too.

May I please have the airport code for plane ticket booking? What time do you recommend arrival time? I am not sure if I can get a taxi or Uber to get to the meetup point to see the rest of the group. I have credit cards, is that enough? Or do I need to exchange some cash? If so, how much?

You can land at either Narita (NRT) or Haneda Airport (HND) and I would recommend arriving no later than 3-4pm. That will give you enough time to get from the airport to the hotel, and then ready to meet the group at 6pm for the Welcome Dinner. We will provide instructions on how to get from either airport to your hotel via the public transport system (trains). You can take an Uber but taxis in Japan can be expensive. Cash is still commonly used. Withdrawing cash from an ATM in Japan is probably the easiest choice, ATMs can be found in the airport and in all convenience stores such as at 7-Eleven, Family Mart & Lawson. You have many opportunities throughout the tour to withdraw. Most ATM's have a maximum withdrawal limit of ¥50,000 ($452 USD). It will most likely be cheaper to exchange money into Yen in your own country. Currency exchange is less common outside of the airport so if you are planning to exchange cash, then use the airport counters before you head out. Also just an FYI our Essentials Tour includes optional extra activities that you can add on to your tour experience and they are; Accommodation and Travel Pre Night - $45 USD Osaka to Tokyo Return Shinkansen Ticket - $190 USD Activities Sushi Making Class - Day 3 - $105 USD Tea Ceremony (Shared Tea Ceremony) - Day 6 - $30 USD Tea Ceremony (Shared Tea Ceremony) + Kimono Hire - Day 6 - $60 USD Samurai and Ninja Museum Experience - Day 7 - $80 USD Osaka Backstreet Tour - Day 9 - $55 USD If you wanted to do the 13 Day version of the tour there are the following; Accommodation and Travel Hiroshima to Tokyo Return Shinkansen Ticket - $230 USD Activities This includes all of the activities listed before as well as; teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka - Day 10 - $25 USD Traditional Archery Experience - Day 12 - $40 USD

What is the minimum age required to join your tours?

The minimum age required to join our tours is 18 years old.

I am 42 years old and I am keen on traveling this

Our Essentials tour is aged 18-39, however, we do have our 10 Day Classic tour which is 18-59.

As there are some meals included, will there be vegetarian options as well?

Yes you'll be able to select a vegetarian option. Once the booking is confirmed our team will reach out to request information and you can let them know that you have vegetarian dietary requirements.

I have used you agency before, I am very please with the service. I am interested with this tour to Japan for September 6, for 2.

We do have 13 day version of this tour.

Please can you advise cost for 1 single room for the 04 Oct departure

We don't have a Single Room option for our Japan tours. The Japan Essentials tour is designed for youth travel with a focus on maximising a smaller budget than our Japan Classic Tour. If a single room is 100% a requirement then I suggest to look at our South Korea Classic tour which does feature a single room upgrade.

I have children that are 13, 15, 17 and 19 that I would like to take on a trip. I see that it doesn't allow for children. Is there any reason why?

Yes that is correct the minimum age for our tours is 18 years old. Our business offers tours that are designed for people aged 18-39 (Essential Tours ) and 18-59 (Classics), sticking to our age policies help us better manage group dynamics and ensure the experience meets the expectations of everyone travelling with us. Additionally the age policies are in place due to insurance policies.

I want to travel with my son who is 26 years old and I am 62. We have traveled together in the past and want to know if age is restricted to 39 yo or if this the recommended age for this group tour.

Unfortunately this tour does have an age policy of 18-39 and therefore we wouldn't be able to accept this booking.

Do you have a similar trip for all age groups? This trip age bracket is max 39 years old.

We do accept travellers from 18 to 59 on our Japan Classic 10 or 14 day adventures. If you are over 59 unfortunately we wouldn't have any tours available right now.

The 9 day tour „Japan Essentials“ was a great experience - it was a perfect mix of learning more about the culture by visiting the most impressive shrines or temples, trying out local food in various places you would never discover by yourself like yakitori or shabu shabu, while also trying out typical fun things along the way such as going to a karaoke bar, arcades and more. But what I loved most, was being in a group of lovely international people guided by Daan our tour guide who did an amzing job by always trying to help out with recommendations for everyone, looking up places for us, trying to acommodate to individual needs and being always patient and kind.Show more

Thank you so much for sharing this, Nina! We love hearing that you enjoyed the balance of culture, food, and all the fun experiences along the way. From discovering hidden food spots and trying yakitori and shabu shabu to karaoke and arcades, it sounds like you really got to experience many different sides of Japan! And we’re especially happy to hear how much you enjoyed travelling with the group and Daan. It sounds like he really went the extra mile to help everyone, whether that meant finding recommendations, accommodating individual needs, or simply being there with patience and kindness. We’ll definitely share your lovely words with him. Thanks for travelling with One Life Adventures, and we hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Had an amazing time with Charlie and our group. Plenty of activities and a perfect balance of free time to recharge or explore on my own. Charlie was knowledgeable and personable and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for my intro to Japan. From helping me wrap my head around the (initially) intimidating transit system, to learning the history of each venue, discovering awesome food spots I never would’ve found on my own, to belting out some karaoke with Osaka locals, Charlie was instrumental in a memorable trip. Great tour to “dip your toes” - I will be back for sure. Thanks Charlie!Show more

We’ll definitely share your kind words with him. We love hearing that the trip gave you a taste of Japan and left you wanting more.

It was an amazing trip with a super fun, sociable group. The guidance was fantastic; she was fun, had a lot to share, and participated in the group in a really great way. She really felt like she belonged, not just a guide, but a genuinely nice person to meet. I heard many fun stories, including from her private life, which was great to hear. She was also always there for you, no matter the time. That gave a good and pleasant feeling. You always knew you could count on her if anything came up, and she had good tips to make your trip as good and enjoyable as possible. This was my fourth time in Japan, but I can definitely say that this was certainly the best vacation I have ever had, on behalf of the sociable group and a superb guide.Show more

The overall experience was great and Beth was an absolutely fantastic tour guide who really managed to bring the group together and turn already an great experience into a magical one. In regards to the tour I personally I wouldve liked to have seen more of the less built up parts of Japan such as Hakone and I would have loved to have spent an extra day there just to do a nature walk or hike or even check out a couple of the museums they have in the area.Show more

The Japan Essentials was everything I needed to have an unforgettable trip. The tour included major sites such as Shibuya Crossing, Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, Bamboo Grove, Kiyomiza-dera, and much more. The month of May was a good time because there were no lines. Cameron was a fun tour guide; he made the trip comfortable, very accommodating, answered all of our questions, and provided any extra tips. I also enjoyed learning about the history of Japan on the tour and the amount of free time it included to allow you to do your own thing or rest as well. I absolutely recommend this trip.Show more
