Stunning Tours

• Excellent - 382 reviews for Japan tours

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of going on this tour of Japan, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Shin, was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, which greatly enhanced our trip. However, we did encounter one issue that slightly marred our tour. We were assigned a smoking room on a smoking floor, and by the time we realized this, we were too tired to address it. It would have been helpful if there was a better system to ensure guests are not placed in smoking rooms unless specifically requested. This is something that could be improved for the future. Also, when it came time to pay for the optional trip to Hiroshima, we (and other tour members) were told upfront that credit cards could be used to pay for that extra part. When we arrived, we were told we needed cash, and there was no way to accept credit cards. I contacted you here and got a response that was not right, and you said you would look into it. We never heard back from you. Luckily, everyone who wanted to go could get the money out of the ATM, but why not just include the Hiroshima part as something you can either pay extra for upfront or include it? It was one of our favorite days. Despite these minor setbacks, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would recommend it to others.

Oba was an excellent guide. Kept us informed at all times.

Supera Tours

• Excellent - 113 reviews for Japan tours

We used Tourradar to search for tours to Hokkaido geared for Seniors and found Supera Tours. Although their tour was not specifically geared for Seniors, it was very well organized, planned out with activities and itinerary balanced and not overly packed or scheduled. Their prep and planning team did an excellent job in coordinating the lodging, food and travel/transportation time. Everything far exceeded our expectations and went so smoothly! Lodging were all 5***** (Onsens every night and even our own private one)!!! Meals were wonderful gastronomic delights ranging from Michelin Star, traditional and nouvelle Kaiseki, area restaurant specialties to the Fish Market in Kushiro. And our tour guide, Hui, was so very diligent, considerate and patient! She checked with each and every tour member after room check-in to make sure we were all comfortable and had everything we needed. We were especially grateful for her thoughtfulness since we were "seniors with needs"and had things prepared ahead of time. We felt well taken care of and this was truly an enjoyable and stress free vacation!! My husband and I were the only "first timers" with Supera on this tour. All the others were repeat guests. Easy to understand! We look forward to joining the ranks soon!

The whole experience was seamless. Supera seems to be a very good company with good prompt feedback at the planning stage. Eriko was an outstanding tour guide. She was knowledgeable, helpful, funny, kind and incredibly hardworking. I can't speak too highly of her. The food and accommodation surpassed my expectations as did the way the s company structured the tour. I highly recommend the Japan tour with Eriko.

The entire trip was very good. It was so wonderful to realize that we picked the best trip to Japan for us. We got to see all of my top places and experiences, had the best tour guide in Irene Perez with Explore!, and could not have had the best travel tour companions. My husband and I were the senior members; we were also the least experienced with world travel, and the only ones from the US. But we never felt rushed or that we held the tour back. And it would not be the same anywhere but Japan, where everyone we met wanted us to have the best experience.

The mesmerising beauty of the snow monkeys, the solemnity of Hiroshima, and the cultural beauty of Kyoto! As well, the SUPER EXPERIENCE of watching our okonomyaki being assembled before our eyes in Hiroshima

Europamundo

• Good - 4,378 reviews for Japan tours

Spanish travellers often late, talked/laughing while English-speaking Guide was speaking so felt could have been more assertive

Most, if not all the tour guides were: knowledgable, humorous, and considerate. At one point where my group was smaller (just me), my english speaking guide was very kind. She talked with me and helped incorporate my interests into the scheduled free time. She recommended me which districts in Tokyo I should check out to see more anime/gaming shops and places to shop for young stylish clothing. I had a great experience as an english only speaker. Even as part of the minority on the tour who only spoke english, the tour guides didn't leave us out by any means. Although some spots felt a bit rushed, it is understandable considering just how much you will see. I can confidently recommend this tour.

On The Go Tours

• Excellent - 3,005 reviews for Japan tours

First tour guide for the first 8 days was great, second tour guide tried hard and seemed lovely as a person, but she was disorganized, oblivious of who was or wasn’t following her, was unaware of where she was going at times, and just didn’t seem like she knew how to do the job. I’m not the only one who felt that way. Your pre trip support was excellent and accommodating, but having taken a number of tours with other organizations, Rick steve’s in Europe, you charge a lot when offering very little. I will not recommend your tour group to anyone, and will most likely discourage others from taking one.

Genuinely fast paced very active tour with moderate quality hotels and well priced

Bamba Travel

• Good - 1,697 reviews for Japan tours

The tour organizer has very, very poor communication, planning and organizational skills. The final itinerary was sent 2weeks before the start of the actual trip, I have to remind them by email to send it to us asap as they promised it will be sent a month before the actual trip. We where told initially that they will arrange our airport transfer and have told them we will be arriving two days before the actual tour, but after days before we've been told that we have to do it ourselves. The two hotel from original itinerary was changed on the final one provided so it caused some confusion on our side. Their representative met with us on the first day of the tour to sort out our JR. Pass and it took 2hours of our precious time to do this, we almost missed the pre-booked museum that day. Their hotel choices where below average, first one is in Ikeburo with bfast included but only seaweed soup and toast where given, again we have to travel to Shinjuku station to get the train to Hakone (very inconvenient), they could just chosen a hotel in Shinjuku instead. In the morning next we arrived in Hakone, we supposed to drop off our luggage at the next hotel to free our hands to roam around the area and found that it was closed and nobody around to asked for information so we have to dragged our luggage back to the station to put them in the locker. I have contacted their representative but he even asked me the name of the hotel (unbelievable, how could he not know all this details). They replied around 2.30ish pm and was told it was unmanned and we where given a PIN number to access, again they should have known this important details and informed us even the day/night before the trip. The next day we travelled again to Kyoto, to avoid the hassle of dropping off our luggage palarva we've decided to use the coin lockers at the station. It was late in the afternoon when we arrived at the hotel the receptionist asked us to pay City Tax 1200yen for 3nights stay, this again we where unaware of. I messaged the representative and to the people on the WhatsApp group and question about this city tax, they said they will refund me with the money so no choice I have paid.Again breakfast was included but only varieties of bread available and some butter and jams and coffee or water. Unsatisfied again. On arrival at Hiroshima after 3days this is where the confusion happens as the name of the hotel was different on the final itinerary they've sent us (this was our mistake we owned this as we didn't checked the final itinerary). We've only stayed at the Flex hotel (supposed to be two nights) for a night as wanting to have more time in Osaka instead (paid privately for one night

I recently took a trip to Japan and visited Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Osaka, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had! The tours were fantastic and provided great insights into each city's culture and history. The transportation was also very reliable, making it easy to get around from one city to another. The accommodations were top-notch, with comfortable rooms and excellent service. I highly recommend booking a trip to Japan with Bamba and experiencing all that it has to offer!

• Good - 9 reviews for Japan tours

The tour was a great experience for us, seeing it was the first time we booked one. The tour host was supportive all the way through the duration of the tour in giving instructions and advice to make our travel plans as easy as possible. Where changes needed to be made to the itinerary, due to unforeseen circumstances, we were updated quickly and issued a refund, for an event that had to be cancelled, due to adverse weather condition warnings. We were very pleased with the daily tours we went on. The guides were very informative helpful and courteous. The choice of attractions to visit was great as well, such as the temples in Tokyo and the Tokyo Sky Tree Attraction. The hotel stays were great also. We would without hesitation use this company again, if we choose to book a tour to another country in the near future. The only negative experience we had, was the weather being so hot at the time of year in August, (38 degrees plus most times) we would shelter in air-conditioned places as much as possible during the day. Many thanks to this company, for the smooth and memorable experience.

A good mix of things to do. I really appreciated the inter-city travel and accommodation being sorted; especially as it was my first tie in Japan.

Tomato Travel

• Excellent - 49 reviews for Japan tours

We were so happy to visit japan, we visited different cities and enjoyed every single day The itinerary was comprehensive we managed to visit many places during our tour Highly recommend

This was a good tour. We visited several sites. The only problem was the weather. I went in the middle of July. The weather was extremely hot and humid. We walked a lot and ended up soaked with sweat. Otherwise, the places we visited were great. I'm planning on going back either in October or in April when it is cool. Masayo, our tour guide, was a knowledgeable person of the Japanese culture and history. I felt in the good way asa chick guided by momma hen. She was great.

Discovi Travel

• Excellent - 25 reviews for Japan tours

Had an overall great time with the tour! The itinerary is pretty laid-back and was tailored for our group interests, and the people were all very fun to hang with! Would definitely take some time after the tour to explore outside of the Tokyo area, but this is a great launch pad if you want to learn the ropes of navigating the island without too much stress.

This has been such an experience, I will never forget my time in NY. The tour guide, Lloyd, was the best, he showed us the best places to eat and took us to the most beautiful temples and historical spots, which he knew the history of so well. I feel like not only I visited and experienced Japan in a special way, I learned so much from Japan's culture and lifestyle in a way I never would have learned if I went on a different tour.

Culture Trip

• Excellent - 251 reviews for Japan tours

Sehr gutes Programm/Etappen und meist sehr gute Organisation während der Reise. Der Reiseleiter war wenig enthusiastisch und die Mitreisenden zum Teil so alt, dass sie die Fußmärsche nicht bewältigen konnten und auf ein Taxi ausweichen mussten. Hier wäre eine bessere Kommunikation zwischen dem Anbieter und den Teilnehmern vorab dringend erforderlich gewesen!

Our 12 day tour was good but overall, there was just far too much packed in. It was a ridiculous pace, even for the 24 year old in our group! There was rarely time to enjoy what we were seeing or experiencing as we raced from one thing to the next. Sneaking a pic was a challenge. Our tour guide did an amazing job getting 13 people on and off trains and bought treats for us to try. Unfortunately he didn't mention there were lockers when we were lugging around our 2 day back, often started speaking before everyone was present and generally was a bit light on with information. Hotels were more basic than expected and a few were different to what was scheduled. This tour would suit people interested in ticking things off their tour list and happy to race around constantly rather than those who'd like a moment to catch their breath and soak up some amazing sights.

Oasis Travel

Agate Travel

• Excellent - 290 reviews for Japan tours

I booked this tour last minute. It was an amazing experience and went beyond my expectations. The travel consultant Nicole has been friendly and helpful, always responded to me promptly. The tour guide in TOKYO was enthusiastic. He answered my questions with detailed information. I enjoyed chatting with him... He also took me nice pictures of Mount FUJI. Here I have to say I was VERY VERY lucky! The weather on the day was favourable and I was able to see the breathtaking view of FUJI. Thanks to agate travel for this wonderful travel experience. Highly recommend!

I was traveling with my spouse, tween, and 70+ year-old parents. We visited during the busy cherry blossom season. We were lucky as we arrived during the peak of this season and cherry blossoms were abundant. It was also quite crowded, so I appreciated my family having our own guide (versus being part of a bigger tour group). Also, it was nice to be picked up at the airport so that we didn't have to find our way around a foreign country upon arrival. I think the value was good considering it included the hotel, entrance fees to places visited, and public transportation fares. It was nice not to have to worry about the logistics of getting from one place to another in a foreign country. Our online tour consultant was very responsive and helpful. Also, the guides were knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. The biggest challenge is that the days involved quite a bit of walking, which was difficult for my elderly parents. If I convince them to go on another trip, I would add in more leisurely days. Maybe that's my fault for not asking for some lighter days. I'm a bit torn because as a traveler, you do want to make the most of each day you are there to visit all the beautiful sites; but, it can also be exhausting. This also meant having to lug luggage around various trains to the various destinations. We stayed in four different hotels as we traveled across Japan. It was a packed itinerary; we were able to see a lot in a short amount of time. Over the course of five days, we visited Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Nara, Kyoto, Hiroshima, & Miyajima Island. Overall, an excellent trip that provided a snapshot of Japan. I would rate it four and a half stars if I could (but only whole stars were allowed). I recommend it for most families (including those with little ones and elderly); I would just add more rest days/free time (or fewer site visits per day), especially if you have members in your party that are young or elderly. Also, if you have members that have mobility issues (such as those in a wheelchair), I would work with the tour consultant as there were places that would be difficult to access. My consultant was great; I just don't think I took advantage of having chosen a “private, tailor-made" tour as much as I should have. I relied and trusted the recommendations. To be clear, their recommendations were all top notch, I just should have taken my family's (which included elderly parents) abilities more into account and been more vocal with what would be best to accommodate my specific family's needs.

One Life Adventures

• Excellent - 8,750 reviews for Japan tours

The best tour I have ever done! On this tour you don't just visit big mega cities, you get a feeling for the country and its people. Dale was the best guide you could ask for. He took us to the most hidden restaurants, always had a tip (where to buy the best chopsticks, for example) or knew how to escape the tourist crowds. There was always plenty of free time to either explore on our own or be guided by Dale's suggestions. The atmosphere was always great! My personal highlights were the temple visits and the visit to Hakone (even though it was raining that day). Thank you Dale for making this tour an unforgettable experience!

An amazing trip for a first time in Japan. With so many sights to behold and activities to absorb you in the culture; this was overall an amazing experience. Only regret is wasting my free time between scheduled activities either catching up on sleep or needing to get back to the hotel to charge my phone. With an itinerary full of amazing activities you will feel a sense of rush and wishing you could have more time to slow down. Tour guide was amazing and just beaming with passion. But importantly was the perfect and friendly social bridge one could have when talking to the locals. It makes me reflect on how important knowing the language myself would be if i was every to travel here on my own. You miss out on so many chance to connect with new people. Downside was the unexpected weather that disrupted the tour mid way. Highly recommend keeping an eye on upcoming weather risks that could occur or you'll end up missing out on more what you paid for. Regardless this has nothing against our guide. As a matter of fact he went above and beyond to make sure we all got the travel arrangements needed to get back on track in Kyoto. So if you have Andrew Corbin as a guide then know you are in safe and friendly hands

Indus Travels

• Excellent - 263 reviews for Japan tours

A really well organised trip with very good guides in Japan. From the outset the communication from Indus was excellent. We loved the "Indus app" that gave us al the info we needed for our trip. We were fortunate that we had a small group of 12 people only so we had a wonderful one on one experience with each of our guides in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Osaka.

The best time to visit Japan depends on your preferences. You would rather see cherry blossoms in spring (March to May), experience colorful foliage in autumn (September to November), enjoy warm weather in summer (June to August), or explore a winter wonderland in December to February.

A good trip to Japan usually lasts around 10 to 14 days. This duration allows you to explore major cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, experience traditional culture, visit historical sites, and enjoy the scenic beauty.

Japan is not limited to guided tours; independent travel is common and accessible. The country has an efficient public transportation system, including trains and buses. English signage is prevalent in tourist areas, and many locals in urban areas understand basic English.

The cost of a Japan tour can vary widely based on factors like accommodation, transportation, activities, and dining preferences. On average, a mid-range budget for a 10-day trip might range from $3,000 to $5,000 per person.

Intrepid Travel

Intrepid Travel was the brainchild of two individuals who followed their dreams, ignoring the distractions of the late 80s, to create something beautiful, something they both loved doing- a business model that revolved around adventure travel. What started as an epic road trip in the wild and desolate lands of Africa, soon emerged as a world-famous travel desk, one that offered unseen and unheard adventures to people around the world. Today, Intrepid Travel is responsible for helping out more than 100,000 tourists around the world and its staff of 1000 work tirelessly to ensure that each of the 800-odd itineraries that the company runs presents the perfect balance between adventure, culture, history and natural beauty. You’re in Good Hands Intrepid Travel organizes itineraries across Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Australia and the Middle East. They even offer trips to the Arctic and Antarctica! No wonder that Intrepid grabbed countless awards and accolades over the years- from being the 2002 Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year to winning the PATA award in the year 2007. Small Group Adventures You’re going to a new place, where the people, the language, the food, the customs, even the way of life feels different. As exciting as it sounds, you long to hold onto something that is relatable, something that gives your mind a sense of comfort. And this feeling of fellowship can never be found in large robot-like group tours. Exploring a destination in a small group not only lets you enjoy the personal attention of your guide, it also makes the journey more exciting, your companions more approachable. Hassle-Free Experiences There’s a reason we prefer to bank on the pros for all kinds of things in life- their unique skill sets, knowledge and experience lets them do the job better. The same goes for travel. Rather than doing everything yourself, relying on search engines and social media gossip only to realize that you made a colossal mistake after it’s too late, you’re better off leaving the planning and the organizing to the pros. There’s a reason why thousands depend on them after all!

G Adventures

G Adventures About Us Started by Bruce Poon Tip in the year 1990, G Adventures transformed from a young man’s vision into a global conglomerate in a very short amount of time. As an enthusiastic and passionate traveler, Bruce dreamt of sharing his travel experience with the world.

A smaller group simply opens up your itinerary a little more, making it more accessible, proving security and companionship and offering enriching experiences with complete strangers. Travel Responsibly The world is a beautiful place to be in and traveling is probably the greatest gift that we can offer to ourselves and our loved ones. Enjoying a destination and becoming a part of its beautiful culture is a great thing to do, but it is equally important to ensure that you’re giving back to the community. From choosing local businesses and developing community based rural travel projects to offering disaster relief services and preventing animal abuse, G Adventures truly operates with the belief that travel is a medium of exchange, which means that they try and give back as much as possible to the local community. Quality Service As one of the most reputed travel operators on the planet, G Adventures is all about making your tours feel extra special. The company is a proud recipient of numerous awards, many of which highlight exactly how travel operators should be run.

The food was absolutely delicious, from start to finish—every meal was a highlight. Exploring Osaka Castle and then diving into the Kuromon Market for some street food was epic. The sushi-making class in Tokyo was SO much fun, and visiting Senso-ji Temple right after made it even better. Big thanks for the ultimate foodie adventure!

I recently went on an Osaka street food tour, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Junko, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor, making the tour both informative and fun. We explored a variety of food stalls and small eateries, sampling some of the best street food Osaka has to offer. From delicious takoyaki and kushikatsu to mouth-watering gyoza, every bite was a delight. The atmosphere was lively, and we got to meet some amazing fellow food enthusiasts along the way. Junko's passion for Osaka's food culture was evident, and her recommendations were spot-on. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the true flavors of Osaka. Thanks to Junko, we had an incredible time!

This is such a well designed itinerary to see the real Japan, from their rich history and Culture to the modern side it was amazing how you travel through their history along the trip. You get to see a LOT of places along the way in a manner that feels like you have accomplished a lot but not too quickly. I think anyone going to Japan has to be prepared for a lot of travelling and moving around, especially as almost everything is on public transport. Don't let this put you off as it is the best public transport in the world! So clean, always on time, friendly and respectful people - coming back to the UK after the trip was a real shock after we got experienced to the Japanese way.

An amazing trip to japan to see its wonder and it didn't disappoint. we were blessed with incredible weather which led to the blessing of seeing Mount Fuji fully during the day and at sunset which is mesmerising. the snow monkeys also came out to entertain us in such a beautiful location. we also had sakura viewings almost every day in abundance in the warm sunshine. spotting geisha wandering along and talking to each other as they were on the way to bookings was a lifelong tick of my list!! seeing a dance show complete with a comedy section which was totally relatable even if we couldn't understand Japanese eating the most amazing food lots I have never had before and seeing how the real people of japan eat out and drink sake.

We believe there's no better way to see the world than by bicycle. Because travel is about the journey and everything it encompasses, never just the destination. Experiencing the moment and place intensely, not chasing the next must-see sight. Discovering new things about the world, and yourself. Then returning home with experiences that remind you of what it means to be alive. Since 1995 we've been sharing our passion for travelling by bicycle. Curating extraordinary cycle adventures in over 30 countries that give you the opportunity to get up close and personal with remarkable cultures, characters and landscapes in a way that no ordinary tour could. We offer rides all over the world, on every type of terrain, for all ages and experience. From classic tours to epic cross country voyages, SpiceRoads adventures are for anyone who believes what we always have… That nothing good ever happened inside a comfort zone. That immersing yourself in different cultures teaches you things you would never learn in a textbook. That you get out of life precisely what you put in. And that traveling isn't just about seeing the world, it's about changing how you see it.

Best Japanese Travel Agencies for English-speaking Tourists

Japan is one of the foremost destinations for international travel today. Famous for polite efficiency, a richly preserved culture, and foodie favorites like sushi and ramen, international tourism has jumped considerably in the last decade.  

If you would like help planning your trip or have someone handle the planning for you, keep reading to see our list of best English-speaking travel agents in Japan.

English-speaking Travel Agents in Japan

The idea of exploring exotic cultures and countries can easily ignite the imagination, but planning what to do can be a headache without having a guide who understands what you’re looking for, which is why we highly recommend working with one of Japan’s many English-friendly travel agents.

While travel agencies in the West have mostly fallen out of fashion, many Japanese people still use these services as their primary source of travel planning. With so many competing for a slice of the pie, this gives you, the traveler, a chance to save big and enjoy the kind of vacation only a cultural insider can make happen.

One-of-a-Kind Japan Trips

Since 2013, our award-winning team has been designing unique, original Japan itineraries for discerning travelers from around the world.

Find inspiration in our sample trips below, but let us create your trip completely from scratch (if you’re still in the early planning stages, go down the rabbit hole in our information-filled blog ).

• Sample Itineraries
• What’s Included?

Gary & Shiona, Australia

We are just settling back after a truly wonderful trip during which every aspect was quite special. The itinerary was full of highlights, superbly structured and finely organized – even down to the ‘comfortable’ 4-minute train change in Nagoya. Boutique Japan brought the team's deep knowledge of Japan to bear to develop a range of… Read More

Andra Smith, Connecticut

We absolutely loved our trip. I fell in love with Tokyo and am secretly hoping I can convince my sister or friend to visit soon so I can go with them to see more of the neighborhoods we missed this time around. Each guide was very, very well-matched with the type of tour they gave.… Read More

Janet C., Switzerland

I hardly have the words to say how wonderful the trip was. My time on Naoshima, Teshima and Shikoku were wonderful and I had many experiences that I don’t have enough superlatives for. The guide and driver were so nice and fun to be with and the people I met along the way were memorable.… Read More

Susan & Smiler, Palo Alto, CA

Nothing could have made this three-week, first time trip to Japan better. Andres and Piper's planning made it perfect. The level of thought and attention to detail they put into curating our experience in Japan was something I'd never experienced in many years of travel. I'm smitten, with Japan and Boutique Japan.

Sample Japan Itineraries

When it comes to your itinerary, the possibilities are endless. The sample itineraries below include some but far from all of our favorite  destinations in Japan .

For more inspiration, also see our 9-day sample itinerary , and our favorite  off-the-beaten-path places in Japan .

Meaningful Japan Experiences

Japan offers an incredible array of cultural and culinary experiences, from the sublime to the exhilarating. Look forward to the following on a trip with us:

Unique accommodations.

Enjoy boutique and luxury  hotels  and  ryokans  with character, chosen to match your taste and priorities.

Enjoy the best of  Japanese food  with local experts, from casual  ramen  shops and  izakayas , to exquisite kaiseki and  sushi .

Sample beverages — from  tea  and  coffee , to  sake ,  whisky , wine, and shochu  — and marvel at Japan’s refined culture of cocktails.

Gallery hop in Tokyo, visit the art island  Naoshima , and meet master artisans and traditional craftspeople in Kyoto and rural Japan.

Contemporary culture.

Find inspiration in Japan’s spectacular architecture, renowned culture of design, and pioneering fashion — not to mention some of the world’s best shopping.

Stroll through impeccable  gardens , visit remarkable  temples and shrines , and experience the high energy of  sumo  or a traditional  matsuri  (festival) .

Get outdoors and  off-the-beaten-path  with vigorous hikes, historic village-to-village walks, and the chance to soak in remote rural  onsen  (hot springs) deep in the Japanese countryside.

Graham & Fiona Kane, London

First of all we wish to thank you, your colleagues and all the team on the ground for a truly wonderful experience. We really enjoyed ourselves and loved Japan, its people, culture and sights. Your pre trip questioning and input helped us to put together an itinerary which fully reflected our interests whilst opening our… Read More

Susan & Frank, New York City

My experience with Boutique Japan couldn’t have been any better. From my initial conversation with Andres, through the back-and-forth about the itinerary with Piper, to the last-minute changes because of a typhoon hitting Japan, they were well-informed, thorough and responded quickly to questions and requests. They really listened when my husband and I described the… Read More

Evan K., New York City

Boutique Japan did an excellent job of orchestrating our two-week trip. Their intake process for new clients is thorough and thoughtful. Once on the trip it was clear that our itinerary was customized to meet our interests. When a typhoon derailed our original itinerary, Boutique Japan was quick to suggest and help book an alternative.… Read More

What’s Included in Your Trip?

Each Japan trip we design is unique, but our trips typically include all of the following:

Bespoke design.

We take personalization seriously. Not only do we really listen to you, our profound expertise and extensive connections mean your trip will be both completely unique and authentically special.

Beautiful accommodations.

A trip to Japan offers the chance to stay in stunning  boutique and luxury hotels and ryokans . We’ll make thoughtful recommendations based on our personal expertise and your taste and priorities.

Fun and insightful private tours and experiences.

When it comes to private guides and local experts, we have unusually high standards (see why in the  FAQ  below). Your trip will include unique private tours and experiences, curated around your interests — and as much free time as you’d like.

In-country transport and seamless logistics.

We meticulously arrange your in-country travels around your preferences and priorities. Getting around Japan is an absolute pleasure thanks to the comfort and efficiency of its various modes of transport, from impeccable  trains  and the  shinkansen  to courteous white-gloved drivers.

Selected meals.

Your trip includes meals at your accommodations — breakfast at hotels, plus amazing dinners and breakfasts at  ryokans — and any meals included as part of your guided culinary experiences , such as private izakaya  outings, intimate  sushi  dinners,  ramen  crawls,  whisky  tastings, and more.

Pre-departure information.

Essential advice as you prepare for your trip, including key tips on Japanese etiquette, packing, money, language, Wi-Fi, and more.

We are here to answer any questions that may come up at every stage of the process , and provide thoughtful service to our travelers from start to finish.

Catherine and Paul, Australia

We had a truly wonderful time in Japan. Lots of people have asked what was the highlight and it really is hard to pick one, or even a few. We really enjoyed the Tsukiji market, the visit to Yanaka, the Kiyosumi Garden, all the gardens in Kyoto, the evening in Osaka, the lunch with the… Read More

Daniel Weinand, Canada

Thank you so much for arranging our travel! It was such a wonderful time and I can't wait to go back to Japan. It wouldn't have been this amazing experience without your help. Everything worked out perfectly and the schedule was spaced out and paced in a way that allowed us to explore some things… Read More

Casey & TJ, New York City

Boutique Japan designed the perfect luxury honeymoon. Organizing a trip can be a challenging task, so we were thrilled to find someone as knowledgeable and easy to work with. We were consistently impressed with the attention to detail in each element of the journey. Boutique Japan exceeded our expectations. From booking truly impressive accommodations to… Read More

Pricing for a Trip with Boutique Japan

The pricing guidelines below are intended to help you estimate the cost of your trip.

However, please keep in mind that these are not fixed categories. For example, some travelers love small boutique hotels, others prefer top-end luxury properties — and many like a mix of both.

The main factors that determine the price of each trip include:

• The number of travelers in your party
• Your travel dates (pricing is higher during  peak seasons )
• Your preferences and priorities (for example, a trip including suites at Japan’s top hotels and a full-time private guide will cost more than an itinerary featuring stylish boutique hotels and a mix of guiding and free time)

Boutique | US $1,000-$1,400 per person per day

A Boutique trip includes a thoughtful selection of boutique accommodations, a mix of unique private experiences and independent exploration, and transport throughout the country primarily via Japan’s fantastic rail system.

Luxury | US $1,400-$2,000 per person per day

A Luxury trip includes a thoughtful selection of luxury accommodations, a mix of exclusive private experiences with local experts (along with as much free time as you would like), and transport throughout the country via Japan’s fantastic rail system and private vehicles where appropriate.

Premier | US $2,000 per person per day and up

A Premier trip simply includes the best of the best, with boundless possibilities.

Special Notes

Please note that we specialize in trips of one week and longer.

The prices above are per person per day and based on double occupancy. We love working with solo travelers, but even though we do not charge a single supplement per se , some services do cost more (on a per-person basis) when not shared with other travelers.

In the course of planning your trip , we typically require a small itinerary design fee. This enables us to dedicate truly personalized attention to each of our travelers. The amount varies depending on factors including trip length and the nature of your request, and is fully applicable to the final cost of your trip.

Your personalized itinerary is offered as a completely bespoke package, and we don’t include itemized pricing. Some travelers don’t have a specific budget in mind, but if you have a preferred range or limit please just let us know and we’ll be happy to work with you.

For any questions, please don’t hesitate to  contact us !

Paula Alsher, Marietta, Georgia

Boutique Japan did a fantastic job of planning an itinerary that completely matched our vision. Our group of 4 came away feeling that for 2 weeks, we had the opportunity to become immersed in the daily life of the Japanese. The guides, the hotels, and the experiences were all expertly planned. The app they provided… Read More

Eric K., Washington, DC

We had a terrific trip and are thankful to you and the team for a fantastic job. We loved your approach to everything, the attention to details, the responsiveness to our requests and the excellent trip that resulted from all of that. We’ll be very happy to refer friends to you, as we have several… Read More

These are some of the most common questions we get from travelers. If you have any other questions, we’ll be happy to help so please  contact us .

Are these group tours?

No, at Boutique Japan we specialize in completely private itineraries, designed around you.

How does your service work?

We begin by listening and learning about your interests, priorities, and travel style. Then we provide expert input to make sure you’re aware of special places and experiences you may not have considered.

Next, we design a completely customized Japan trip just for you, taking your feedback into account along the way. Throughout the process, we make things as easy and enjoyable as possible for you. See more details in  Planning Your Trip with Boutique Japan .

Which areas of Japan do you offer?

We offer private itineraries throughout all of Japan. Our sample trips above are here to provide inspiration, and there are also many other  places in Japan we absolutely love .

When it comes to your itinerary, we’ll provide personalized suggestions in the course of planning your trip.

How do you choose your private guides and local experts?

We hear a lot from travelers who have had lackluster, unsatisfying tours in the past. While some of our clients enjoy having a guide from start to finish, most commonly our travelers enjoy a mix of guided time along with free time for independent exploration and relaxation (in our experience, the optimal balance is quite different for everyone).

When it comes to private guides and local experts, we have unusually high standards (few things in travel are more disappointing than a mediocre guide), and through constant travel and exploration we’ve personally developed a network of wonderful guides and insightful experts throughout Japan. In Japan, even more so than most elsewhere, trust is established only over long periods of time. Our tours are based on valuable relationships carefully cultivated over many years, and we’re extremely fortunate to work with remarkable people around the country.

For us, it’s about far more than just having knowledge: we seek out the truly engaging individuals who are not only bright and knowledgeable, but also flexible and quick-thinking. Perhaps above all, they must be fun, interesting people you’ll actually want to spend your valuable time with.

Can we use points or miles to book our own hotels?

As points lovers ourselves, we completely understand wanting to use them. However, because accommodations form such an integral part of each trip we design, we arrange all accommodations as part of our service. This helps us ensure a truly seamless experience for all our clients, from start to finish.

What about restaurant reservations?

For nearly all of our travelers, Japanese food is a high priority. As part of your trip, we can include special culinary experiences such as private market tours with local experts, as well as intimate guided dining experiences at unique and wonderful restaurants.

Apart from these thoughtfully curated experiences, please note that we don’t offer restaurant reservations or meal-planning as part of our service. However, like most of our travelers, we are passionate about Japanese cuisine , and a few months before your trip we’ll send you a selection of restaurants we recommend (plus cafes, bars, shops, and more), along with helpful information and resources on making dining reservations in Japan.

I want to visit Tokyo Disney and Universal Studios Japan.

These can be wonderful places, and are especially popular with families traveling to Japan , but in the interest of being upfront please note that we are far from theme park experts. Because of this, we can’t provide any special insight when it comes to visiting theme parks or obtaining tickets.

This being said, we do have many clients visit on their own, and we’re more than happy to build free time into your itinerary for you to self-arrange any theme park visits of interest.

Will booking through you save me money?

Some travel companies tout their access to discounts, but the main reason travelers book through us is to gain access to our profound Japan expertise and extensive network throughout the country.

Not only will we help you dream up a completely unique itinerary through our in-depth knowledge of Japan and extraordinarily personalized trip-planning process, we’ll also save you countless hours expertly coordinating the nitty-gritty logistics of your trip.

Our service is ideal for travelers who appreciate expert assistance and meaningful, personalized experiences.

Who are your trips for?

Our  travelers are based around the world, in the Americas, Australia, and beyond. The majority of our travelers are couples,  families , small groups of friends, and solo travelers.

Why should I travel with Boutique Japan?

We are accredited Japan Travel Specialists, and maintain active memberships with respected organizations including  IATAN  and  ATTA .

Perhaps more interestingly, unlike most travel companies we intentionally work with fewer travelers. This lets us take an extraordinarily personalized approach when it comes to your trip. Along with our expertise and creativity, our low-volume approach is one reason  Condé Nast Traveler  magazine considers Boutique Japan founder  Andres Zuleta  a  Top Travel Specialist  for Japan:

“Zuleta’s Boutique Japan is a small company that eschews volume and spends more time customizing each trip to offer travelers a fresh, creative approach to Japan – something that discerning travelers seek out after learning of Zuleta’s deep immersion into the Japanese language and culture from years of living in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.”

If you’re as obsessed with the details as we are, chances are we’ll be a good fit — see what our travelers say  here  and on  Google Reviews .

「吉田さんちのファミリー日記」Powered by Ameba 吉田さんファミリーオフィシャルブログ

みなさま、こんにちは！吉田ファミリーです♪Amebaブログのほか、YouTube、Instagramでもさまざまな情報を発信しております♪

おぉー！！香港ディズニーランドツアーお申込みキャンペーン開催です！

みなさま、こんにちは！

今、こんな素敵なお知らせが来たので共有しますね！

香港ディズニーランドの先着200名限定キャンペーンだそうです！！

いよいよハロウィン始まりますねぇ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Japan Tourism Agency (JTA) requests 1.2 times more budget for FY2025 than FY2024, addressing new projects including accommodation business revitalization

Japan Tourism Agency has requested a budget of 62.8 billion yen in total for FY2025 starting April 1 2025, including 15 billion yen in general account and 47 billion yen in international tourist tax. The expected budget is about 1.2 times more than the FY2024 budget. 

New projects for accommodation business and duty-free shop model

JTA has requested a budget of 300 million yen for accommodation business revitalization as a new project to support accommodation operators that are expected to suffer from debts after COVID-19. Specifically, when accommodation businesses seek to revitalize through existing revitalization models, the government plans to promote efforts to improve operations.

Another new project is to build a new duty-free shop model in local areas, for which JTA has requested 50 million yen. For local retailers who sell high price products, such as local craft and specialties, a new duty-free model will be tested, and acquired knowledge will be developed nationwide in order to increase spending by inbound travelers.
