Our Active Small Group Tours allow you to enjoy Japanese culture firsthand in the intimacy of a small group. The maximum group size is 13 guests, which enables you to travel between destinations by public transportation, such as by train, subway, ferry, or local bus. These tours feature off-the-beaten-path destinations and more opportunity for local interaction, to truly experience what life in Japan is like. Each city will feature an expert local guide who will be able to share in-depth information on the featured attractions and sites, and provide assistance or recommendations if needed prior to your free time. These tour itineraries are tailored to the energetic passenger; guests should feel comfortable walking from 4 to 10 miles a day, depending on the tour and destination, as you explore Japan's marvelous natural landscape. Select tours include multisport activities to engage interest of the sporty traveler. These multisport activities might include cycling, hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, rafting, climbing, and more. The group is kept small to just 13 guests – meaning more attention from your guide. On an Active Small Group Tour, you will discover the country of Japan at a local level, and explore the rich culture the land is known for. Read Less
