3 questions: price for single person (willing to share room), details of airlines, their stopovers and duration. Is there a tour with a French-speaking guide?

We do not have French-speaking guides. Our Tour Managers and guides speak English during tour. For flight details, you can book with Collette. Inbound airport is NRT, return airport is KIX. Return flights should not be booked from Kansai Airport or Itami Airport prior to 9:00 a.m.

I am interested in a single room senior tour (I'm 74) leaving in March/April 2026. Is this a possibility? Can flights to and from Brisbane be included?

We do not have any senior specific tours; however, we base our tours on activity levels that range from 1-4. Activity level 1 would be for leisure travelers, to 4 being for active travelers that can handle up to 10,000 steps a day.

I am so glad I took this tour and would visit Japan again. However, if you can visit before turning 60 or in great health, I recommend it. Lots of walking. Approximately 13,000 steps just about every day. It was fun. Climbing to reach the top of Monkey Mountain, walking through Cherry Blossom gardens, gardens in general. We got to see Mt. Fuji; performed a tea ceremony, made sushi, ate and grilled wagyu steak, and had the best Sake. Our guide provided us with many areas of local shopping, taking many of us around in the late evening or after an earlier tour had ended, or dinner. One place that was not on the schedule but was fun to visit was Don Quijote. A store where you can find everything at great prices. We found Cherry Blossom, Matcha, and caramel Kit Kats. Chocolate-covered grapes. Truly a wonderful trip.Show more

It was fabulous! Clean cities. Interesting places and sights of a culture I knew very little about. Had no idea Japan was so mountainous. Their road system thru the mountains and valleys is amazing. The customs were interesting to learn. Food served was delicious - I stretched my comfort zone there and it tasted wonderful. (Still shied away from adventure in the open market foods.). I think Kanazawa would be my favorite city. Loved all the gold leaf - we made lacquer boxes using gold leaf for a stencil design. It was so fragile to work with. Gave me some insight to the talent one must have to gild chandeliers and such in castles all over the world. In all the cities I always felt safe and as a solo traveler on the always felt safe. Tour companions were also pleasant and inclusive as well so sometimes went places w folks but it was. Ok to be on my own. We hoped to see cherry blossoms and the countryside presented them in beautiful glory. The bullet train to Hiroshima as fast, clean and quiet. The peace memorial there was very crowded. It was hard to go through because of the nature of it but also it's dark inside (minimal lights) so that along w the crowdedness made me claustrophobic so I quit looking at displays and had to get out. Wandered the park displays. Amazingly the Japanese don't seem to hold a grudge against the USA for the dropping of the bomb. It was war and it brought an end to thatShow more
