Luxury Holidays In Japan
Whether you want to stay in the main tourist areas of Tokyo, Osaka and Okinawa or explore further out into the countryside, these Japan holiday packages offer the ultimate way to discover the culture and attractions of Japan. I have no doubt it is perfectly possible to plan a self guided trip entirely on your own but I use a company called Inside Japan who offer a variety of “self guided adventures” which are suggested costed itineraries which include transport, (including a card for travel on the Tokyo metro ), accommodation, tickets for things that interest you and the occasional private guide.
Our Japan tours to Hokkaido will take you to the flower fields in Furano, the atmospheric Otaru Canal, Hokkaido’s biggest entertainment district in Susukino, and to Shiraoi to learn about the Ainu people of Hokkaido.

Make your way to the Tohoku region to see the great Towada Lake, visit the prominent Zeuiganji Zen temple, and see one of Japan’s three most scenic views during your Japan tour. Our Small Group Tours of Japan take you off the beaten track while highlighting Japan’s breathtaking seasons, gardens & art, history, cuisine, pristine landscapes along with the unique Japanese culture.
