There are no reviews for this tour yet and I was wondering why. Is this a newer tour? How long has it been running for? Is there reviews for it I can find elsewhere? What are the average age range and size of the group? Especially in the summer, which is when I would go. It has 'youth' in the title, but I didnt see an age limit/cutoff, is it?

On the tour page you can find the age range, group size and over 2,367 traveler reviews for the tour! Group Size 4 - 16 Ages 18-49

How strict are you on the age criteria? Is it a suggestion or rigidly enforced? I would be 56, solo and looking at a private rather than shared room anyway.

Yes the age restrictions on this tour are very rigid. I would recommend the Land of The Samurai as an alternative tour.

The trip was absolutely incredible. First of all thanks to Terry who was an incredible guide - super knowledgeable, brilliantly friendly and always going above and beyond. The trip around Japan was fantastic. Every day we packed in multiple brilliant activities but we’re also given time to spend as our own family at our own pace and do what we wanted. Terry had amazing suggestions for these periods! Also lucky to have such an amazing group and meet some lovely people.Show more

  are all the activities included in this tour? Or are they at an extra cost? Could you let me know which ones are included and which are extra?
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written January 2026
  On the Highlights of Japan Youth Adventure – 17 days, the vast majority of activities are included in the tour price. This covers all major sightseeing, experiences, transport within Japan, accommodation, and a tour leader throughout.
  
  Included highlights are things like:
  • Tokyo city sightseeing
  • Sushi rolling class
  • Ryokan stay and onsen experience
  • Snow monkeys in Nagano
  • Mount Fuji cable car and Lake Ashi cruise
  • Samurai experience, tea ceremony, temple stay in Koyasan
  • Hiroshima Peace Park and Miyajima Island
  
  Optional costs are limited to:
  • A few meals not listed as included
  • Personal spending, snacks, shopping
  • Any optional free-time activities you choose independently
  
  So it's very much a "pay once, experience almost everything" style trip.
