    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.

    I was asking is it possible to get a personal guide ?

    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).

  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?

  Accommodation

  Age Range

  Single supplement
  • 

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written January 2026

    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. 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 on availability at the time.

  Asked on January 25th, 2026

  Is it possible to organise luggage transfers between hostels rather than carrying my own luggage on public transport?

  Transport
  • 

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written January 2026

    Unfortunately, we're unable to arrange luggage transport between hostels and destinations.
    
    We'd always recommend travelling with a backpack rather than a suitcase, as it's much easier to manage in crowded areas and when hopping on and off multiple modes of transport. Packing as light as possible will make the whole trip much more comfortable in the long run.

  What would be the best time / season to visit join the tour?

  Tour Details
  • 

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written January 2026

    Spring (March–May) and Autumn (September–November) are generally the most popular times to visit Japan. Spring is famous for cherry blossoms, while autumn has great weather and beautiful autumn colours. If you prefer fewer crowds, then early March and late May are also very good options.

  Asked on January 13th, 2026

  Can I just clarify about the accommodation. We have requested an upgrade to 'twin rooms' at an extra cost. What exactly is this in each location? What is the accommodation then at the basic rate with no upgrade in each location???

  Accommodation
  • 

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written January 2026

    The standard price without a twin room upgrade is €2,411.10 EUR per person. You will stay in multi-bed dorm rooms for this price. If you opt for a private room upgrade, you will stay in twin rooms at all accommodation, except for 1 night in Shimoda where a private room isn't available. Here you will stay in 4-8 bed dorms. We can't guarantee which room size you will stay in as it depends on the availability at the time. This is the accommodation we will always try to use for the trip (depending on availability): TenTen Guesthouse in Asakusa, Ocean View Hiromi SPA Hotel, K's House Kyoto Backpackers, WeBase Hiroshima, R Hotel Namba

    While we appreciate you're eager to join this adventure, as you're aware 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. I need to make you aware of the following:

  We are 6 adults and would like to join this tour. We do lots of tour with Tourradar and I am surprised that you are not taking people older than 55, 4 adults are 60 plus years old, is there any exceptions to this rule and since we are always on tour radar tours. Let us know.

  Age Range

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written January 2026

    Just so you're aware, it's The Dragon Trip as a tour operator that set the age limit, not TourRadar. We have the recommended age range in place to set the expectations for the group dynamic. Although the age range is 18-55, the majority of guests that join this trip are in their 20's and 30's and expect to meet a group of younger people. That's not to say we can't accommodate you on this trip, but there are a few things to be aware of before you decide to join. The standard accommodation is shared dorm rooms with the option to upgrade to a private room, excluding 1 night in Shimoda during the onsen stay. Most days are spent walking up to 20,000 per day and you will be expected to keep up with the group because we have to stick to a strict schedule in Japan due to the culture of their punctuality. If you're happy with the above and are still interested in joining this trip, we ask that you complete our tour suitability form. As an alternative, you might be interested to join our Japan Plus 11-Day Culture Tour: Golden Route & Beyond. This trip uses comfortable hotel rooms and can accommodate guests aged 18-75.
