  • D

    Debra

    Asked on February 1st, 2026

    We would like to see a geisha show, sumo demonstration & Pokémon store. Is this possible?

    Tour Details
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written 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.

      However, if you have free time during the tour or after the tour ends, you are more than welcome to arrange these activities independently at your convenience.

    Lynne

    Asked on December 31st, 2025

    Accommodation
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written January 2026

      I just checked that our hotel in Tokyo will be Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu.

  • J

    Joyce

    Asked on September 19th, 2025

    Could you please tell me — I am planning a trip to Japan with my friend on November 9, and we would like to know if it is possible to stay in two separate rooms instead of sharing one? Or is it only possible to book one room with separate beds? Ideally, we would prefer two separate rooms.

    Accommodation
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written September 2025

      Regarding your request for separate rooms, I'm happy to confirm that you can indeed choose 2 separate rooms. For each single room, the single supplement fee is USD 1509 per person. To proceed with booking, you can simply go to the tour page, select 2 travelers, and under the option for "Single room for solo," choose the number of rooms needed (in your case, 2 rooms). After adding the single supplements, the total price per person will be USD 4690. As November is a peak season in Japan, I recommend proceeding with your booking as soon as possible to secure your rooms and lock in the best rates.

  • J

    Janice

    Asked on August 5th, 2025

    What is the physical rating for this trip? Do you know which days have the most walking and how much walking? In reading the itinerary, it only mentioned one day where we would walk for about 20 minutes.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written August 2025

      Yes, wheelchairs are available, but there's additional cost at about 21 per day, if you need one, please let me know how many days you need, I will let you know the cost.
