Is it possible to upgrade to a single room?

It's possible to upgrade to a single room at all locations excluding 1 night during the unique onsen stay in Shimoda. There you will stay in mixed dorm rooms of 4 to 8 guests.

Can you do your own excursion during sushi class or get discount to not do it. Only kind of Asian food I not like

You're more than welcome to skip the sushi class and do your own thing during that time. It's not compulsory for you to join any activity if you don't want to, but we won't be able to offer a refund for any activity you don't participate in.

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?

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.

Do you have discounts for this trip? Its my first trip and I wish to take in April. Its my birthday month

If you let me know what date you're planning to join the trip in April, I can let you know if we have any discounts for that date. I'd also need to check the availability with my team and get back to you. We have the following dates available: 20-Apr-26, 27-Apr-26. Would you prefer a dorm or single room?

I have a spanish speaker client interested in this tour any chance we can book with a spanish speaker guide?

I'm afraid we don't have any Spanish speaking trips available. We only have English speaking trips.

The traveller is over the age of 55 but is very fit and can do the trip.

Could you please confirm the exact age of the traveller? This will help us assess the suitability of the tour.

This tour hits all my wants - however, I am 70 years old - do you have a similar tour which would be suitable for an older person? I think the only area which probably wouldn't work for me is sleeping on the floor

We'd be happy to welcome you on our Japan Plus 11-Day Culture Tour: Golden Route & Beyond. This trip uses comfortable hotels as the standard accommodation and can accommodate guests aged 18-75.

I'm interested in local market cherry blossoms, more nature and local places instead

Can I skip Hiroshima is other option ? And when we going to the hit spring bath ??

Do I get a personal guide for the group trip?

The trip includes an adventure leader who will join you on the trip. They'll be there to assist you with getting from each location along with helping with check in at the accommodation.

I'm interested in tour 13 but I don't like that you limit age and I'm 61, very fit working 5/7 with 12 hour shifts. Is it a problem for accommodation if I travel on my own?

The recommended age range for this trip is 18-55, however, we can sometimes be flexible with this. This trip can involve 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. The majority of guests that join this trip expect to join a group of younger people, with the average age in their 20's and early 30's. The standard accommodation is hostels.

Excellent tour that provided a wide range of things to see and do in Japan. A great balance of activities included in the itinerary to do together with the tour group and free time to explore various regions of Japan’s golden route.

The Dragon Trip tour we found through TourRadar far exceeded our expectations. Our guide was extremely organized and provided a thorough heads-up for everything we were doing. Oliver purchased all of our admission and train tickets in advance, told us exactly what to expect, where to meet, where we were going, what we were doing, recommenndations on what to do during our free time. We honestly could not have asked for a better guide or better itinerary. Just excellent from start to finishShow more

This was definitely a trip that stretched me without breaking me. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone, grow as a person, and fully immerse myself in a new culture - and that is exactly what I received. This adventure provided the most comprehensive overview of Japan in just two weeks compared to the other trips I found from different providers. Before the trip, I was a bit anxious about the busy itinerary and sleeping in hostels, but those concerns disappeared once I arrived. All of the accommodations were safe, clean, and surprisingly calm (unlike my former experiences in Europe). Yes, the schedule was tight, but we still had free time every day to explore on our own and decompress. Sora was always sending us helpful tips on what to see and eat wherever we were at the time. I was especially grateful for our meaningful conversations about history, culture and what it’s like to live and work in Japan. My favorite part was the time we spent in Kyoto, especially the calligraphy workshop, tea ceremony, and bike tour. I had an immense amount of fun and learned so much along the way.Show more

The tour was good overall and we got to see many things in a relatively short time. A big issue though was the tour guide. He didn’t want to be there and complained all day every day about the itinerary, the company, how he would do it differently, that he’s tired of the cities we visit, and noted all the things we’re missing because we aren’t doing it his way. He was condescending and we just stopped asking questions because we’d only get snarky responses. I’ve been on at least 10 group tours and this guide was definitely the least professional and most impatient. If I did it over again I’d just go solo and hire day guides in different citiesShow more

  Can I skip Hiroshima is other option ? And when we going to the hit spring bath ??
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2026
  Shimoda is more rural than other destinations on this trip. The accommodation in Shimoda is where you will get to experience a Japanese onsen. During the trip, your adventure leader will be able to offer advice on where to visit markets during the cherry blossom season. I'd need to check with my team to see if we're able to adjust the itinerary so that you don't visit Hiroshima, but we could only do this if you're to spend extra time in Kyoto or Osaka. What date would you like to visit Japan during the cherry blossom season? There's limited availability for dates in March and there may be additional costs to get you onto the trip since the trip dates for March are very close and March is peak season to visit Japan.

- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2026
  We wouldn't be able to do this trip as private trip for only 1 person. It's something we might consider for a group of 4 though. We still have lots of availability for you to join our group tour and if you'd like to, you can upgrade your room to a private room so you have your own space in the evenings (excluding 1 night in Shimoda during the unique onsen stay).
