      TravelerWritten February 2026

      Is the transfer from Tokyo city to HND $150 per person ($150 for me & $150 for my son)?

      Your brochure states that insurance is included once you begin the tour and when the tour ends.

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten February 2026

      The transfer fee of USD 150 is per trip and covers both passengers. Regarding the insurance, this is a standard format shown for all our trip. However, please kindly note that the small group tour does not include travel insurance. We would suggest purchasing travel insurance directly through TourRadar, or alternatively from any provider of your choice in your home country.

    Tour Details
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten February 2026

      As this tour is a group tour, the itinerary and included activities are fixed. We're not able to add extra activities such as a traditional tea experience with geishas, a sumo demonstration, or additional shopping stops (like the Pokémon Store) into the arranged schedule.

    What is the physical activity on this tour? and when traveling between cities, how is the customers' luggage handled?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten November 2025

      Overall, this itinerary is designed to be quite comfortable, with most days arranged in a relaxed and easy-paced manner. Day 2, 3, 4, 9, and 10 include private vehicle transportation, making the days smooth and convenient with minimal walking required. Day 7 in Hiroshima involves sightseeing by public transportation with walking at a moderate level. For luggage, you would only need to manage your own luggage on Day 1 (airport to hotel), Day 8 (hotel to station to Tokyo hotel), and final day (hotel to airport).

    • J

      Jose

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      On the 8th day, will travelers need to bring their luggage on the train from Hiroshima to Tokyo? If so, what accommodations are available for those who either do not wish to carry their own luggage or have luggage that is too large for easy handling during train travel? Additionally, I have noticed that only breakfasts are included in the tour package. What guidance is provided to participants regarding their lunches and dinners?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten November 2025

      You do not need to take your luggage to Hiroshima. For lunch and dinner, our guide will give you suggestions when you meet with him. Transfer costs are: Kansai Airport to Kyoto is USD240 per van per way, and Tokyo hotel to Narita or Haneda Airports is USD300 per van per way.

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten November 2025

      The group size will not exceed 16 people, but typically we have around 8 travelers per group. This tour only includes 4-star hotels, and everyone stays together in the same group — there are no separate pickups or drop-offs for different hotel levels. For June 2026, there are currently three available departure dates: June 9, June 16, and June 23. You may choose whichever best fits your schedule.

    Connie

    Asked on July 24th, 2025

    Is this tour still available? Is it definitely going? I can take a bullet train to Kyoto to start the trip. There is no solo traveler option on the booking page. How much additional is the single supplement and how would I book, given that the room offered requires 2 travelers. I am also open to being paired with another female.
