Trip Planning FAQs

How do I begin the process of arranging a Private Journey?

First, take some time to determine your group size, the cities you want to visit, and your travel budget, then make an inquiry using our Inquiry Form. One of our travel specialists will respond to you within 1 or 2 business days. Feel free to call our US office at any time, at 1-909-988-8885 (Toll Free: 1-855-325-2726 ), or email us at info@alljapantours.com.

What exactly does “private touring” mean?

Private touring means you will have your own guide, and won't be traveling with a group of people you don't know. You can plan the itinerary in advance, giving you complete control of your destinations and experiences. Our travel specialists work to plan your private tour to suit your budget, at your own pace. It's more flexible, allowing you to more fully enjoy only the places and activities that interest you.

Are your private tours fully escorted?

We are happy to arrange a fully escorted private tour, if you wish. However, a fully-escorted tour can be very expensive. The guide would stay with you for the full duration of the trip, and the cost of the tour would include transportation and hotel room for the guide in each city. We usually recommend using local guides at each destination, then transferring from one city to the next via public transportation, by yourself. We will provide fully detailed instructions for how to easily get from one city to the next while on tour.

How much does a private tour cost?

The cost of a private tour greatly depends on the destinations, hotels, and experiences you want to include in the itinerary. Look at, for example, one of our most popular itineraries takes you to Tokyo, Hakone, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka on a 7-day tour. This tour itinerary would cost about $3,500 per person, using public transportation (bullet train, local train, subway and taxi), for two people with 4-star accommodations. But there are various ways to lower the cost. Cheaper hotels, more free, self-guided days, are a few ways to reduce the cost of a private tour.

What is the most cost efficient way to travel around in Japan on a private tour?

Japan's public transportation is the most cost-efficient way to travel around Japan. A private transfer with your own guide and driver can be costly, while public transportation is not only a cheap way to get from one place to the next, but is clean, timely, and convenient to most major destinations. It also gives you the opportunity to travel like a native, and more of a chance to observe and interact with local Japanese people. However, public transportation usually involves more walking, so we don't recommend it to people who have trouble getting around.

Can I travel by public transportation to anywhere in Japan?

Japan has one of the most convenient and efficient public transit systems in the world, with trains, buses, and ferries covering the length of the country, as far north as Hokkaido and as far south as Kyushu. Depending on tour and destination, it may be better to include some days with private transportation, as certain attractions are more out-of-the-way than others.

Can I change my itinerary during the tour?

You are certainly able to change the itinerary, although there are several factors to consider. We are unable to change any hotel accommodations, and if the place or activity you want to do requires reservations, we will do our best, but cannot guarantee it. Any additions to the cost of the tour will also be covered by the client.

I like the private tour proposal your sent me, but it exceeded my budget. What can you do to reduce the price?

To make the itinerary more budget-friendly, we can add some self-guided, free days to explore the city on your own. We can also look into a lower level of hotels that are better suited to your budget, as well as propose a shorter itinerary to reduce the price of the tour.

Do I need the Japan Rail Pass?

Whether or not you need the Japan Rail Pass depends on how far you travel between destinations during your tour. The Japan Rail Pass can be very cost effective when you travel a long distance via bullet train, depending on whether the cost of a bullet train ticket is more than the price of the Japan Rail Pass.

Can you arrange Italian guide for us?

If you let us know far enough in advance, we can arrange guides in Italian, French, English, German, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and more. Please speak to one of our travel specialists to inquire about bilingual language guides for your private tour.

Are meals included in your private tours?

Your hotel will usually include a complimentary breakfast, but we prefer to keep lunches and dinners free to allow you greater flexibility in determining what you eat and where. Your local guide will assist you in finding a local restaurant that suits your preferences. Upon request, we can make reservations for you at restaurants of your choice, and are happy to provide recommended restaurants at each location.

How you handle my luggage when I travel from cities to cities by bullet train?

We will carefully ship your large luggage from one hotel to the next so that your travels are light and convenient. Since the luggage takes an extra day to arrive, please pack a light bag with a day's worth of clothes and necessities.

What our customers say

4.9 stars based on 112 REVIEWS

AJT did a wonderful job in making sure everything we asked for was on our itinerary. They customized it with a mix of guided tours and free days to keep our schedule flexible. The guides were able to hit most of the major points of each city/attraction, and were all knowledgeable and friendly. Customer service was top notch - Justin especially was so accommodating by answering our questions (we had a lot, it was our first time to Japan!) and helping us understand what to expect.

We had the absolute best trip ever and tour guide, Kevin, is phenomenal. Yes, we did have an initial mishap when we didn't see our driver when we landed at the aiport but AJT definitely came through with an amazing tour guide, itinerary, excellent hotels and drivers. Thank you for all your hard work in making this such a memorable trip. Regards, Ashley & Calvin Dabbiere

Shu was excellent. Very knowledgeable and warm.

Could not have asked for a better trip. Everything was perfection. And like clockwork. Amazing, spectacular. I was impressed with every step , starting from when I first reached out to AJT 18 months prior to the trip. Thank you so much.

Excellent stewardship from registration for the trip, during and until the completion of this marvelous second visit to Japan. I highly recommend All Japan Tours. The experiences were unique, the participants (small group for lasting memories and new friendships to nurture), and the beauty and welcoming culture of Japan made for a very memorable trip.
