Jess Dobbs help was wonderful and I am still remembering her help, advice and our wonderful holiday 6months on. In actual fact we have been talking again about possibility of another trip. Recommend self guided adventure and although 17 days sounded a long time it flys past and you'll wish you had more.

A perfect blend of structure provided by the company and all of the travel well organized.... but fun for us to do on our own. Our travel advisor listened very closely and then created an itinerary based very succinctly on our travel style and goals. Periodic guide services were excellent, as well as the information on the cities and sites that we could visit. I would travel with inside Japan tours again in a heartbeat !

Support prior to departure was excellent and thorough, especially the detailed notes of each location visited. There was plenty of support provided in nailing down the details of the additional week we wanted after the end of the standard tour.
the tour guide was fantastic and had everything planned for the first two weeks of our trip. Then, when we were on our own, all the arrangements worked as planned.
Fantastic trip and a fantastic country.

What an amazing trip from start to finish! The tour offered such a great variety of activities and sites. Our guide, David, really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The accommodations were top-notch, too. It’s hard to pick a favorite part because the whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend!

This is the second time I’ve used Inside Japan and had two fabulous holidays with them. Last year I was a solo traveler who met the rest of the group in Japan, there was 10 of us and our guide Ed Jones was brilliant. The it itinerary inside Japan used for our trip was outstanding and had such a variety of wonderful sites to see and trips to go on. This year I went with my town Grandsons aged 12 and 10 and again the itinerary was outstanding, I wanted this holiday to cater for the boys and they did a Ninja lesson, we went to watch the sumo wrestlers train whatever I wanted Inside Japan booked us tickets to things and before we left I had a detailed itinerary with everything explained in detail. I wanted to show the boys around so only opted for 2 days with guides both of who were brilliant and catered to the boys wants and needs. I was slightly nervous about navigating Japan on my own but the detailed itinerary of which trains to catch, how to find the tracks, pick ups to go to certain stations and the airport were spot on. I needed to contact the team because I broke the connection of the lead to the WiFi device they lend you and another was sent to the hotel that day. They kept me updated on when it would arrive etc. another time I received an email re the sumo training which needed to be cancelled due to a death but Inside Japan were straight onto rearranging it and keeping me informed about the situation. I couldn’t fault them on anything and will be recommending them to whoever I hear want to visit Japan and if I ever go back, which I’d love to, I will definitely be using them again

We had an absolutely incredible time on the Japan Unmasked tour. From start to finish, our tour guide Hanan was incredible.
She made everyone feel included and welcomed, and somehow kept everything running seamlessly while making every moment fun and engaging. Hanan was extremely knowledgeable, and nothing was ever too much trouble. She went above and beyond at every opportunity.
Her humour, kindness, and genuine warmth brought such a positive energy to each day. It made the whole trip extra special. She is incredibly conscientious and naturally thoughtful, always going the extra mile without it ever feeling forced.
This trip gave me memories I will treasure for a lifetime, and I cannot recommend it highly enough or our guide Hanan.

We’re up to our fourth tour organised by InsideJapan.
Which says it all, really.
On each occasion we’ve travelled independently, but they organised transportation and accommodation.
The trips were planned with careful attention to our expressed interests by Lachlan 1 &2.
On each occasion , without a hitch.
We’re planning our next visit…..

Total immersion in the Japanese world
Extremely knowledgable leaders

Our family of four had never traveled to Asia (with kids) and our guide did a fantastic job of listening to our goals for the trip and suggesting adventures that would appeal to all of us. We had a fantastic time and our 13 year old son has repeatedly asked “when can we go back”!

It was an awesome trip. Our tour guide was 10/10!

There was a lot packed into the tour and efficient movement from one place to another. Lovely Insider was happy to answer all questions and make recommendations. Interesting fellow guests.

We had an incredible visit to Japan the tour covered all aspects of this amazing country from shrines and temples to the bullet train to street market food and most of all to the people of Japan. The trip was incredibly put together by very knowledgeable people.

Small group, lead by a knowledgable tour guide. Overall, our experience on the tour was fantastic, the food, the culture and the scenery in Japan was amazing. We had many memorable moments while on tour. We recommend Inside Japan Tours.

Wonderful experiences to choose from depending on your interests. Wonderful attention to detail in the trip planning. Wonderful guides. Trip ran like clockwork, just like the Japanese train system. I absolutely couldn't have planned a trip nearly this complete on my own. I've done 3 trips, total of 10 weeks, traveling using InsideJapan. All superb.

Inside Japan made my trip FLAWLESS! Everything was so easy and my 11 year old daughter and I had an amazing experience traveling for 2 weeks. Can’t thank you enough!

Travel planner was outstanding and designed the trip to our requests perfectly.

Our trip was very efficiently arranged at very short notice. I cannot fault either the arrangements that were made and the resulting ease of travelling.

I embarked on an almost 3 week self guided tour to Japan with Inside Japan Tours. I am an experienced traveler, but this was my first trip to Japan.
The whole trip went perfectly as planned and the self-guide instructions were easily followed and delivered on my expectations. The in-country assistance was reassuring, although not required due to the excellent planning and clear written guidance.
I can confidently recommend IJT to anyone wishing to visit Japan.

Inside Japan tour was excellent. We saw everything we wanted to see and it was actually better than advertised. From the uk staff we booked with to the in country staff everything was reassuring and professional. The thing that absolutely changed this from a good to an excellent tour was our guide. Fergal was perfect for our group and if we ever wanted to do another tour I think we would have to have him again. We added a trip into the end of our tour and again it was without incident and to be recommended
