    On this tour, you can expect quite a bit of walking, particularly in cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Shimoda, with some days reaching 15,000–20,000 steps. You will also be using public transportation regularly, which means walking between train stations, hotels, and attractions.
    
    That said, there are no strenuous hikes or demanding physical activities included. The tour is designed for travellers aged 18–55, with most travellers between their late-20s and early 40s. As a result, the itinerary does have an active, fast-paced feel, with fully packed sightseeing days and plenty of exploring!
    
    As long as you're comfortable being on your feet for extended periods and managing your own luggage, most travellers find the tour very manageable.

  Asked on July 28th, 2026

  I noticed part of the itinerary for Kyoto include a half day bike ride - however I have never learnt to ride a bike. Is this an issue? If I book the tour would I simply miss out on that day's activity and plan for alternate activity during the day then rejoin the group in the afternoon?

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written July 2026

    That would be no problem at all.
    
    None of the activities on our tours are mandatory. If you'd prefer to skip the bike ride, your Adventure Leader will be more than happy to recommend some great local sights or activities for you to enjoy during that time.

    I will be travelling alone and probably opting for the singles supplement - I did see that there will be 1 night where I would still need to share the bunk room with other travellers? I assume that is still be the case if I go for this tour?
  • 

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written July 2026

    That's right, if you choose a Private Single Room, you'll have your own room throughout the tour with the exception of one night on Day 5. On this evening, you'll stay in a traditional Ryokan Onsen, where only shared rooms are available.

  Asked on April 12th, 2026

  We are 2 persons: 68 and 70 in a good physical form, can walk 20 km per day without problems. This tour as well as some others has an age limit. Is it possible to join it when we are older but fit?

  Age Range
  • 

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2026

    While we appreciate you're eager to join this adventure, the recommended age range for this trip is 18-55, however, that's not to say you can't join this trip as we can sometimes be flexible with this. This trip can be spent walking up to 20,000 steps most days and you would be expected to be able to keep up with the group as we need to stick to a strict schedule. Although the recommended age range is 18-55, the majority of guests that join this trip expect to join a group of younger people. The majority of guests that join this trip are in their 20's and early 30's. The standard accommodation is hostels. If you opt for a private room upgrade, you will still be expected to stay for 1 night in a 4 or 8 bed dorm in Shimoda during the onsen stay. We can't guarantee which room size you will be in as this will depend availability at the time. If you're happy with the above, and are still keen to join this trip, we would need for you to complete our tour suitability form which is intended to help you understand the type of trip you'll be joining and help us understand if we think the trip will be a good fit for you.
