    Russell

    Asked on July 23rd, 2026

    Which city does the Essential Japan Tour start in and which city does it end in? Which airport should arrival and departure be booked from?

    Flights / Transfers
    • EuropamundoOperator•Written July 2026

      The tour starts in Tokyo (Day 1), so arrival flight should be booked to Tokyo. Both Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND) are suitable, as the tour includes the arrival transfer. The tour ends in Osaka (Day 7) after breakfast, so the departure flight should be booked from Osaka. The most convenient airport is Kansai International Airport (KIX). Please note that the departure transfer to the airport is not included, so you will need to arrange your transportation from the hotel to Kansai Airport on the last day.

      Russell

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      My son will arrive one day early and leave one day late. Could you help to book the same hotel one day early and arrange someone to pick him up at the airport?

    • EuropamundoOperator•Written August 2026

      Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to book the pre-night accommodation through Europamundo, as it is too close to the tour departure date. However, we can still assist you with the post-tour night. We will be happy to help you arrange the post-night accommodation and review the available options.
