Using this brochure
Unforgettable experiences
Transport
In the next section of this brochure we highlight a selection of example Self-Guided Adventures to showcase the variety of trips we can offer. Some take in Japan’s classic sights, others focus on more remote islands and a handful of itineraries are based on themes – such as Japanese cuisine or pop culture.
We base our itineraries around experiences rather than sights, as we believe this is the best way to really get beneath the surface of Japan. Each of our trips can be tailored to include any number of activities, whether you want to watch a sumo tournament, go white water rafting, or see the neon lights of Tokyo from a helicopter. Please turn to p. 82-117 for more ideas and inspiration.
With your Info-Pack in hand, you won’t have any problems getting around Japan by yourself. These days train stations and bus terminals are well labelled in English. Japan’s public transport is also wonderfully efficient. If your Info-Pack says your bullet train will arrive at 10.15, you can be sure it’ll be there on the dot.
Accommodation
Japan office
Japan boasts a tremendous diversity of accommodation, from skyscraper hotels to traditional Japanese inns; Buddhist temple lodgings to glorious beach resorts. You can find a selection of our favourites on p. 118-123 as well as on our website. We have an ever-evolving list of hotels which we have personally tried and tested, meaning we’ll be sure to suggest the right accommodation for you.
At any point during your Japan trip, our bilingual Customer Support Team based in our Nagoya Office, is just a phone call away. You can call them for on-the-spot translations, sightseeing advise or to make restaurant recommendations. Should you need medical attention or if the weather disrupts your travel plans, use our 24-hour emergency hotline.
You may like to choose an itinerary and book it exactly as described in this brochure, but we expect that you’ll want to add experiences and make alterations to suit your personal preferences. Please speak to one of our travel consultants who’ll be happy to discuss your travel plans and start customising an itinerary for you.
