FAQ: Your Trip, Arrival & Departure

When should I arrive in Tokyo?
Arrive at Haneda (HND) or Narita (NRT) on Day 1, the Monday your trip starts. You can land at any time: your guide meets you and takes you to the hotel. Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Flights from the US often land in the afternoon; if yours lands early in the morning, add an extra night before the trip so your room is ready.

When should I fly home?
Fly home from Osaka Kansai (KIX) on Day 7, the Sunday. Check-out is by 11:00 AM, and your transfer leaves the hotel about 4 hours before your flight.

Which flights do I book?
An open-jaw ticket: into Tokyo (Haneda or Narita), home from Osaka (Kansai, KIX). The bullet train between the two cities is included.

What if my flight is delayed or changes?
Let your advisor know as soon as you can and we’ll move your transfer. Please also update your flight details in your booking.

How much luggage can I bring?
One suitcase (length + width + height up to 160 cm / 63 in) and one carry-on per traveler. See Day 4 for the bullet train and luggage forwarding.

Can children come?
Yes, children are welcome. Children under 3 travel at a child price; children 3 and over pay the adult price. Triple rooms are available, subject to availability.

Do I need a visa?
Check Japan’s entry requirements for your passport before you travel; the rules can change.

Will I see Mount Fuji?
On a clear day, yes. Fuji is often hidden by cloud or haze, especially in summer, and no one can guarantee the view. The day is planned so there’s plenty to enjoy either way.

What’s the kimono and tea ceremony?
An optional morning on Day 6 in Osaka: you’re fitted and styled in a kimono, take part in a tea ceremony and take photos. Add it when you book, or any time up to 75 days before departure.

Can I arrive early or stay longer?
Yes. Add an extra night before the trip in Tokyo or after the trip in Osaka when you book, or any time up to 75 days before departure. It’s priced per room, per night, with breakfast. For more than one extra night, ask us and we’ll arrange it. Your airport transfer moves to your new date.

What do you need from me, and by when?
Each traveler’s passport photo page, flights and a few personal details, at least 75 days before departure. You’ll get email reminders until it’s done.

FAQ: General

How fit do I need to be?
If you can walk for two to three hours a day, manage some steps, and lift your own suitcase onto the bullet train, you’ll be fine.

Can you cater for dietary needs?
Yes. Tell us about allergies, vegetarian or other needs when you add your traveler details, and we’ll pass them on for the Day 3 lunch.

What currency should I bring?
The Japanese yen (JPY). Cards work in hotels and most shops; carry some cash for temples, market stalls and small restaurants.

Should I tip?
Tips aren’t included, and a generous tip for your guides and drivers is appreciated if you’ve enjoyed their service. In Japan, hand it over in an envelope; restaurants and hotels don’t expect tips.

Can I drink the tap water?
Yes, tap water in Japan is safe to drink.

What should I pack?
Comfortable walking shoes, layers for air-conditioned trains, and for summer a hat, sunscreen and a small towel. Remember the luggage allowance: one suitcase and one carry-on.

Is travel insurance included?
No. We strongly recommend it, and you can add it when you book.
