    Leah

    Asked on June 7th, 2026

    Trip between 14-16 days, Mainly the highlights, Small international group (Max plm 12 pax). Even though we live in NL, English and Spanish are our daily languages. We are both 70 years young, so co-travellers in the same age bracket is a plus. The cherry trees need to be in blossom. (i.e. departure in March/April), Experienced guide, Hiroshima and the WW2 monument is a must, We like a comfortable pace and would like to stay in each stop/hotel at least 2 nights. If possible, please offer airtickets (Premium Comfort) from and to AMS.

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2026

      We are a small group tour company however our max will be around 15-16 people. Average of 12 on each tour. The Discover Japan tour is most suited as it is 14 days. Covers all of the highlights, culture, access, and I-can't-believe-we-did-that moments, all at a great price. We have no upper age limits on our trips! But our Japan tours do have a mid-range physical grading. Due to walking around 20,000 steps per day on these trips. End of March and beginning of April is a great time to visit for the Cherry Blossom Season. All of our guides are local with plenty of experience. You will stay minimum 2 nights at each stop except for when visiting Fujikawaguchiko which is the Mt Fuji Area. Hiroshima is visited on this tour also. We are not able to help with flight bookings through TourRadar.

    Debra

    Asked on March 18th, 2026

    Can you arrange for flights and pick up and delivery to airport

    Flights / Transfers
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2026

      We do not offer flight quotes for the tours. Flights will need to be arranged on your side for the tour.

      As for pick-ups. We can only arrange an arrival Shuttle Bus from either the Haneda or Narita airport for the tour for an additional cost.

  • M

    Michael

    Asked on December 23rd, 2025

    Is the flight included?

    Flights / Transfers
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten December 2025

      International flights are not included on our tours and need to be booked separately.

  • A

    Adrian

    Asked on September 5th, 2025

    do you any tours Next summer probably. I had looked at Adventures by Disney but I'm not sure if it's really what I am most interested in. We'd have to include the Disney parks. I'm interested in Tokyo, though honestly my interest all stems from Toho Godzilla films and they do not offer tours, so I'm not even sure it makes sense.

    Other
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2025

      Our tours would not include Disney so this would be something that you would need to arrange for the beginning or end of your trip, if you did a tour with us.

    Liz

    Asked on June 9th, 2025

    Do we have to carry it around all the time? Or is it stored at the hotel or elsewhere during the activities?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      Luggage will stay at the hotel during activities. You are responsible for your luggage when the group is on the move from one point to the other while on the bullet and at train stations.

    • L

      Liz

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      When traveling on trains and such with luggage, are there steps to climb, etc? My bag is quite heavy — 25 kilograms — and really only rollable (I could carry it only a few steps).

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      All G Adventures tours in Japan use the world-famous Shinkansen bullet trains, which have a restriction on maximum luggage size. Your luggage must be less than 160cm in total. You will also be walking with your luggage in busy public train stations to catch connecting trains, so it is highly recommended that you travel light and have easy to handle luggage and capable of walking up and down the stairs with your luggage without any assistance. We recommend keeping the weight of your bags between 10-15kg/22-30lb.

    • L

      Liz

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      So I could leave my large suitcase behind at the beginning of the trip and then pick it up when finished?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes, you can. You will be back to the same hotel at the end of the trip. They do have lockers or storage where you can leave your suitcase, just ask the front desk.

    • L

      Liz

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      I leave my baggage at the first hotel — The B Akasaka — and can pick it up there when the tour ends? Also, is there any cost for this service?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      The B Akasaka does offer luggage storage. In regards to how much this would cost, we are unsure specifically so you may want to reach out to the hotel directly. Another option is luggage storage at a train station, which is extremely common in Japan, and once again your tour leader can assist.

    Josephine

    Asked on April 3rd, 2025

    Is it possible to arrange airport pick up and drop off for this tour and what would be the additional cost? I would also like 2 additional nights at the end of my trip in Tokyo. Can you advise on the cost? I will be booking a single room for myself.

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      We can add on airport transfers for around £65 per direction, the extra nights can be booked for £95 per single room per night.

    Neil

    Asked on March 12th, 2025

    Want to know if breakfast is included every morning or do we have to pay for breakfast?

    Meals
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2025

      The meals included with this trip is - 1 breakfast, 1 dinner only. Your tour CEO will give you suggestions on where to eat.

    Kristin

    Asked on January 31st, 2025

    Is the price quoted include airfare?

    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      Prices do not include air fare as travellers could be joining from anywhere in the world and we cannot factor that into the pricing when we advertise our tours. You would be responsible for arranging your own flights.
