About this tour
Spend 15 days navigating Japan's rhythm alongside fellow travellers, moving between Tokyo's crowded stations and quieter neighbourhoods. You'll catch the shinkansen, eat what locals eat, and watch how the country actually works rather than just photograph landmarks. The itinerary flexes to match what your group finds compelling—whether that's a particular prefecture, craft, or neighbourhood vibe.
Highlights
- Shinkansen travel between major cities
- Breakfast and dinner included daily
- Small-group format allows route adjustments
- Local food experiences beyond tourist menus
- Navigate public transport like a resident
- Mix of urban exploration and quieter pockets
What to expect
You'll spend mornings and afternoons moving between cities and neighbourhoods, using trains, buses, and your feet. Days are moderately active—expect walking tours through residential streets, market areas, and station districts. Evenings centre on sit-down meals with the group. The pace suits people comfortable with city exploration rather than resort lounging. Your guide will adjust stops and timing based on group interest, so there's room to linger somewhere compelling or skip something less engaging.
Good to know
Moderate fitness needed; the tour involves sustained walking and climbing stairs at train stations. Not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with serious spine or heart conditions. Public transport is seamless once you're oriented. Bring comfortable walking shoes.
