Itinerary

Day 1: Tokyo

Arrive at any time and welcome to Japan's neon metropolis that's always on the move. There are no plans until the evening welcome meeting, so spend some time exploring. Then, after the meeting head out for a night of fun, drinks, and dancing for your first night out. Pick the best looking spot and cheers to new adventures and friends!
We highly recommend booking pre-accommodation to fully experience all that is Tokyo.

Day 2: Tokyo

Get your bearings with an orientation walk before enjoying free time to explore buzzing Tokyo. Opt to check out Yoyogi Park, Asakusa shrine, quirky Harajuku, Shibuya Crossing, or explore the city's massive selection of shops and cafés.

Day 3: Tokyo/Takayama

Board a bullet train to picturesque Takayama, surrounded by the Japanese Alps. Take in the quaint streets of old town—lined with craft shops and sake breweries (mid-day sake bombs anyone?)—on a CEO-led orientation walk. Enjoy the rest of the day to explore the area. In the evening, kick back and relax in a traditional inn complete with tatami floors, Japanese futons, and an onsen hot spring. Delight in a restorative soak in the healing waters.

Day 4: Takayama/Kyoto

Catch a train to Japan's imperial capital, Kyoto, and spend the rest of the day discovering this historic city. Then tonight, grab a drink on our tab during your Big Night Out. After a beer, you can opt to release your inner rock star during a karaoke session. Or visit one of Kyoto's many famous izakayas! Kanpai!

Day 5: Kyoto

Kyoto is yours to explore today and the options are endless, so grab a buddy and get out there! Visit some of Kyoto's beautiful temples, participate in a tea ceremony, or take a calligraphy class (so you can make that postcard home look extra fancy).

Day 6: Kyoto

Today is departure day, but do not fret! There is no such thing as goodbye, only until next time. Share some last laughs and exchange social medias with your fellow travellers before departing at any time.
We highly recommend booking post-accommodation to fully experience this iconic city.

The coordination of the tour seemed to take unnecessarily long due to the size of the group and what felt like last minute accommodations. I don't feel like I saw as much as I could have.

Having a guide while solo traveling in a country that isn't in your first language is invaluable. I wouldn't have had as comfortable and fulfilling of a trip without Tetsu there to plan our trip, stay flexible when needed, and have an eye out for each guest as an individual. Any solo travelers would do well to find the community and peace of mind that G Adventures provided.

Tour felt disorganized and varied from the original itinerary. The guide lack understanding of other countries culture and often came across as rude with little knowledge around what a lot of the tourists were actually interested in seeing. When making suggestions for activities his response was usually ?oh that's so touristy? when that is exactly what we were there for.
