    Ashley

    Asked on January 30th, 2026

    Can I change the third night accommodation to stay in Hakone at a Onsen Japanese style place instead of going back to Tokyo and then take the train the next morning from Hakone to Kyoto and meet you there to join up with the tour again?

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • Wanderful Holidays LLCOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes that's possible. We can even organise the train for you. From Hakone to Kyoto with whatever price difference there may be. I think it's about $18 per person. If we don't book a room for you for that night on Tokyo, you can get $86 per person taken off your balance payment.

      Ashley

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      Do you offer any optional excursions with this tour? I was interested in the Geisha experience and the monkeys in the hot springs?

    • Wanderful Holidays LLCOperatorWritten January 2026

      Although the tour is hotel asked as is. We could squeeze on Geisha experience in the evening from $159 per person. The snow money visit will need additional day and night in Tokyo which we would recommend that you take a pre night before the tour starts date.
