    Asked on February 17th, 2026

    I'm looking to travel solo around mid September, wanting my own room. You seem to have two tours that look the same - one marked solo and this one. What's the difference? Also, Can you please quote what the extra cost would be for the four star hotel in Tokyo upon return with an extra night on Day 11.

      I'm sorry to tell you that this tour on Sep 13 is not guaranteed as there is no one to sign in this trip. However, our tour on Sep 27 was already confirmed. Is that possible for you to postpone your tour to Sep 27, 2026?

    Jen

    Asked on August 23rd, 2025

    We like the 11 day mini group tour in Japan. But we want to see Arashiyama (Bamboo Grove, Okouchi Mountain Villa, Tenryuji, Togetsu-kyo all very close to one another in Arashiyama). Also, we don't care either way about visiting Hiroshima. Does such a tour exist? Do you offer tours where we choose our own itinerary?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • Travel China GuideOperator•Written August 2025

      Our mini group tour has the fixed starting date and schedule. If you prefer to join the mini group tour, you could choose the preferred dates on our website and follow our itinerary. While if you prefer to have the tailor made tour, we could also make the arrangement for you, but the tour price will be much higher than that of the mini group tour.

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      Can we plan the itinerary and then hire your company to be our tour guide? We are available in March or April.

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      We are certainly open to your suggestions and ideas. I am not sure about a budget. Maybe give me an idea of what this would cost without air.

    • Travel China GuideOperator•Written August 2025

      15-day tour of Japan quotation for double occupancy: USD8138 per person. Total: USD8138 X 2 pax = USD16,276

    • J

      Jen

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      We understand that it is expensive to do everything but I think the trip is a bit more than we feel comfortable spending.

    • J

      Jen

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      What if Fred and I book our own Japan hotels and train tickets. Would we be able to hire your company for city tours or day tours if I gave you dates in advance?

    • Travel China GuideOperator•Written September 2025

      You could book the hotels on your own. But I suggest you keep the train tickets on our arrangement. The tour price is USD4538 per person for the suggested 15-day tour without hotel.
