I have tried to request an Itinerary of our tour. Your web site tells me it has been sent to my email address. I have requested two now and still nothing has arrived. Can you please check for us.

Under that booking, you have asked about the pre-accommodation, the E-sim questions and the Sumo experience, we already answered your questions as below: 1.March 20 / March 21 – Tokyo hotel: USD815 per room per night (our booked hotel now has increased price as the dates are very close, suggest you could book other hotel nearby). 2.There is currently no sumo performance available in Kyoto. 3.Tokyo Sumo Lunch Experience: USD 175 per person (non-private; beverages are at guests' own expense).The meal content is not fixed. The experience includes a live performance by sumo wrestlers. Please note that during official sumo tournament periods, this activity may not be available as the wrestlers may be participating in competitions.

Could I book just the tours without accommodation and other additions, and what would the required deposit be to secure a seat on the cherry blossom tour?

As this tour is a join-in group tour, the itinerary, schedule, and hotels are arranged as a fixed package. Therefore, we are unfortunately not able to provide the tour service without accommodation, as all group members will be picked up and dropped off from the same hotel. Additionally, since the tour departure date is only about one month away, the booking would require full payment instead of a deposit at the time of reservation.

Is air fare included in price?

Regarding your question about the flight, our tour does not included the flight from your home country to Japan.

Please can you advise cost of the tour for the 12 April and the 19 April departure for two pax in one room.

Regarding the tour you inquired about, the price is the same for both departure dates (the 12th or the 19th). The cost is USD 3,529 per person, based on double or twin occupancy. Many of our cherry blossom season tours are already close to full, and availability is becoming quite limited. If you're considering moving forward, I kindly recommend confirming your booking as soon as possible. As we get closer to the travel dates, we may need to close bookings due to limited capacity. At the moment, we only require a deposit of USD 75 per person to secure the reservation.

What are the dates for this tour?

This is a cherry blossom season itinerary, and we currently have departures available only on April 5th, April 12th, and April 19th.

I would like to participate in an organized trip (small group preferred) to see the cherry blossoms in Japan at the end of March 2026

I've received your inquiry and will get back to you shortly with a detailed quotation tailored to your preferences. If there are any specific interests or experiences you'd like to include in your trip, please feel free to let me know anytime — I'll be happy to customize the itinerary accordingly

Please can you advise costs for two pax - 22 March departure

I've attempted to explain my 15 Days Japan Autumn trip to people who weren't there and it's always been difficult....
I've attempted to explain my 15 Days Japan Autumn trip to people who weren't there and it's always been difficult. These fifteen days spent moving through autumn are of a type not expressible in the common parlance of English, and so are their recollections; they seem too vivid to be properly compared with any others that have been anywhere near my experience in recent years. With the season opening with respect. It was designed with the awareness that there's no better way to experience autumn in Japan than through its vibrant colors, and all the routing decisions were clearly made that way! Some sites were on the programme at certain times for certain reasons and the reward for that accuracy was incredible. Forests, covered in crimson and gold on the mountainside. Temple gardens were completely surrounded by the seasonal colour and looked like they were deliberately painted. In the early morning, mist is low over the ancient castle grounds, surrounded by maples in full transformation. An itinerary in which no time was ever lost and 15 days that offer more pure visual magic than many people experience in a lifetime of travel.Show more

When paired with a place like Japan, the word essential is a powerful one, and the 7 Day Essential Japan itinerary lived up to that. It didn't apologize for its decisions and didn't pad its program, traversing the land with a quiet assurance that every experience that it had in it was truly deserving of its inclusion. A week of touring Japan might be a blur of checking off the list of the must-sees taken and never remembered. This itinerary didn't even pursue the possibility of that. Tokyo was visited, but not superficially, so that it was not just explored, but that it was felt. When it came time to come to Kyoto, the city's temples and traditional streets fit the bill perfectly. The most important part of the seven days was the way in which these places were visited or not visited, the idea was not to rush through these places, but to take time and enjoy them in a way which enabled one to feel something more akin to a visit than to a holiday.Show more

The 11 day trip to Southern Japan, cherry blossom time was a truly amazing and memorable experience. Whether it be the stunning cherry blossoms or the immersive culture, scenery and atmosphere of Japan, there was always something special about each facet of the journey. This was a wonderful chance to experience Southern Japan, its beauty and make memories. The opportunity to see the famous cherry blossoms was especially appreciated making the trip worthwhile and enjoyable. It was really exciting, relaxing and enriching and gave me a different viewpoint on Japan. This is a great trip and I'm glad I was able to make it and enjoyed the memories and experiences along the way. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a beautiful, cultural and unforgettable trip in Japan.Show more
