  Asked on April 30th, 2026

  I understand on the go tours will provide us with transportation means (is that a Japan rail pass?) and a Suica card. Will you also organize an eSIM or similar for us or is that on us?

    On The Go ToursOperator•Written April 2026

    Transportation during the tour is included and arranged for you, using a mix of trains, bullet trains, buses, and a Suica swipe card where needed.
    
    This is not listed as a Japan Rail Pass specifically, but all included tour transport is taken care of as part of the itinerary.
    
    An eSIM or mobile data plan is not included, so you would need to arrange that independently before travel or on arrival in Japan.

    From what point can one safely book the flight without having to worry that the trip will be cancelled or postponed?

    On The Go ToursOperator•Written February 2026

    For the walk on Day 12 (the Scenic Higashiyama walk), no specialist hiking equipment is needed. It's a gentle scenic walk on paths and trails, not a technical hike. We simply recommend comfortable walking shoes or trainers with good support. Hiking boots are optional but not required.

    In terms of booking flights, once the tour is confirmed and running with minimum numbers (which we monitor closely), it's generally safe to book your flights.

    The list of hotels that we use on this tour you will find on the attached trip notes. Most of the journey you will travel with your luggage. If you would like to travel light from Kyoto to Hiroshima and then to Takayama, you can forward your luggage to Takayama at your own expense. This luggage forwarding service is not included and will incur an additional charge. You will travel with all your luggage from Kyoto to Hiroshima via Himeji. Upon arrival at Himeji, luggage will be stored at the lockers at the train station. After touring Himeji we'll re-unite with our luggage and carry it with us aboard the bullet train to Hiroshima. This tour is not very strenuous or difficult with very moderate pace. The only available departure this year is 26th October, all other departures are fully booked.

  I'm jut curious how breakfast is provided on the tour. This tour includes only 7 breakfasts but the tour is for 13 days. Many of the other Japan tours include breakfast each day.

  Meals
  • 

    On The Go ToursOperator•Written August 2023

    The hotel that we use in Tokyo does not provide an option for having breakfast included, your guide will be able to make suggestions for you for your breakfasts whilst in Tokyo - once the group leaves Tokyo, breakfasts will be included for you. A couple of additional things to note - I can see that you are travelling with 3 children - are you able to please advise information as to their ages? As our Japan tours involve up to 9km of walking per day, it is not generally recommended for children under 15 years.

    I have approx 10 Japan tours that I'm currently looking at. I will be selecting the tour based on price. It has to be for a family (many of the trips are for adults only ... ie 18+) ... we are looking for roughly 11 to 15 days ... how many meals are included (at a minimum it has to include all the breakfasts) .... and there are specific places we want to see. At the moment this 13 day tour is down out our list because it doesn't include breakfasts.

  Are we able to have all 3 of us share a room? We don't want one of us having to share with a stranger.

    Unfortunately it isn't possible to offer triple rooms on our Japan tours, so we would be looking to book 1 x Twin/Double room, and 1 x Single room. We don't match up solo travellers on our tours, so there won't be any strangers sharing.
