    Jose

    Asked on September 26th, 2026

    I am looking for a package to Korea and Japan for 14 to 16 days that includes Busan, Mt Fuji and some of the main attractions in Japan. Also, would like breakfast and all the transportation to be included. Are you able to recommend some options

    Meals
    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written September 2026

      Our 14 Day Highlights of South Korea & Japan Tour Package is a fantastic option, covering Mount Fuji along with many other must-see highlights across both Japan and South Korea.

      We can easily add breakfast to your package if you prefer. However, please keep in mind that as this is a group tour, many of the tours depart early in the morning, which means you may not always have the opportunity to enjoy breakfast at the hotel. For this reason, we generally recommend choosing a Room Only option and adding breakfast directly at the hotel on the mornings when it suits your schedule.

      Our group tours operate from designated meeting points, meaning you would need to make your own way between your hotel, tour meeting points and train stations. However, we always do our best to select hotels within close proximity to the tour meeting points, generally just a short walk or taxi ride away.

      If you would prefer the convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off, this would only be possible with a private tour package. We can certainly arrange a private and customised journey for you if this is something you would prefer.

    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written September 2026

      Since we don't assist with visas, i strongly recommend to review this with the Japanese and South Korean embassy in your your country to be extra sure!

  • C

    Colin

    Asked on August 17th, 2026

    I am interested in doing the Japan and south Korea tour for 2028. I am solo however would welcome sharing accommodations to minimize costs. Do you have shared plans?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    Single supplement
    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written August 2026

      We can certainly look at including the most budget-friendly accommodation options available to help keep the overall cost down. Please note, however, that we do not offer twin-share accommodation with other travellers.

      As your trip is planned for 2028, please keep in mind that we can only secure bookings up to one year in advance of your travel dates. I would therefore recommend reaching out again once your dates come within that booking window, when we'll be able to provide more accurate pricing and availability.

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      Can I add one extra night and fly out of osaka i.e. leaving on Nov 28th?

    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written August 2026

      We can gladly add DMZ on the free day; however, this will increase the price a bit.

    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written August 2026

      There won't be enough time for Busan in the current itinerary, unfortunately.

    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written August 2026

      What exact date is your conference on? I will make sure to leave this day as a day off.

    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written August 2026

      Yes, we can change the Kyoto and Nara tour to a different date!

      Edward

      Traveler•Written July 2026

      is this tour fully guided? Is there breakfast included with room? we want twin beds

    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written July 2026

      To answer your question regarding group sizes:
      Japan: Our walking tours and food experiences are kept small, with a maximum of 10–12 guests, providing a more personal experience. For coach tours to destinations outside the city, such as Mount Fuji from Tokyo, group sizes can be up to 40 passengers, depending on the season.

      South Korea: Our walking tours and food experiences typically have a maximum of 10 guests, while our coach tours can accommodate groups of up to 50 passengers.

      To clarify, our style of travel is slightly different from a traditional fixed group tour. Your hotel stays, transfers, and overall itinerary are tailored to your preferences, while your day tours are shared with other travellers. This allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds — the social aspect of small group experiences, combined with the flexibility and freedom to travel at your own pace.

      We can certainly accommodate a Twin Room for your stay.

      Please also note that breakfast is not included as standard, but it can certainly be added if you prefer. However, many tours depart early in the morning, meaning you may not have time to enjoy breakfast at the hotel. For this reason, we generally recommend choosing a Room Only option and adding breakfast directly at the hotel on the mornings you wish to enjoy it, giving you greater flexibility throughout your trip.

      1. Moxy Seoul is twin beds ? Are all hotels having twin beds? I'm taking boutique class
      2. How many people in the tour
      3. Is this fully guided. ?

    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written July 2026

      To answer your questions:
      Regarding twin beds at Moxy Seoul Insadong, twin beds are unfortunately not available at this hotel. Would you be open to replacing it with another hotel of a similar standard?

      Regarding tour group sizes, in Japan, our walking tours and food experiences are kept small with a maximum of 10 to 12 guests, providing a more personal and intimate experience. For coach tours to destinations outside the city, such as Mount Fuji from Tokyo, group sizes can be up to 40 passengers depending on the season. 

      In South Korea, our walking tours and food experiences typically have a maximum of 10 guests, while our coach tours can accommodate groups of up to 50 passengers.

      Regarding your question on whether the tours are fully guided, this is a partially guided itinerary, featuring independent travel with selected guided excursions throughout.

      We do not include international flights or visa services, and these would need to be arranged independently. We also do not operate all-inclusive meal packages, however we can certainly include breakfast as part of your accommodation if preferred, and the remainder of meals can be enjoyed flexibly during your trip. We absolutely can include accommodation, private transfers, curated experiences, and English-speaking guided tours throughout your journey.

    Is there any way you could arrange one night's post-accommodation in Osaka, along with a transfer at the end of the trip? We're interested in visiting Mario World in Japan and spending 1 day at Jeju Island in September.

      In order to visit Jeju Island from Seoul, you need to catch a flight that takes around 1 hour, and for that, you will need to add at least 2 days to be worth the travel.

      The package includes a daytrip to Osaka and back to Kyoto, however, they can stay in Osaka for the night and if they want to visit Mario World they need to add 1 extra day and for the next day we could arrange a private transfer to the airport.

    Asked on March 16th, 2026

    I am looking for a small group tour of Japan and South Korea on or around 24th May. Could you please confirm the total number of travellers that will be on this tour from start to finish and how many of them are English speakers? I am looking for a small group tour where you travel with the same group of people (who are English speakers) throughout the trip. Will a tour guide be with us for the duration of the tour? What are the group sizes like?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written March 2026

      Our packages are designed as a combination of day tours, accommodation, and transfers. This means you won't be traveling with the same group or guide throughout the entire trip. While you may occasionally see some familiar faces, most tours will include different guides and participants. During your free time, you'll have the flexibility to explore independently.

      Group sizes: Our walking tours and food experiences are typically small groups (up to 10 participants). For bus tours (such as Mount Fuji from Tokyo), group sizes usually range from 25 to 40 people, depending on the season and availability.

      Language: All of our day tours are conducted in English by default. If you prefer another language, this can be arranged as private tours.

      Duration: The length of each tour varies depending on the activity.

      We can definitely avoid big hotels and include more local and authentic style hotels. Could you share if you prefer 3, 4 or 5 star hotels?
