Japan Group Tours
for Solo Travellers

Our Japan trips are built for travellers aged 18–39, with most people in their 20s and 30s and a great mix of ages on every trip. We know age is something a lot of people think about before booking, especially when joining a group of people they haven’t met before. But as you’ll see from our reviews, once you arrive and start getting to know everyone, age quickly becomes the last thing on your mind. It’s much more about the people you meet and the experiences you share along the way.

Our Japan trips have around 12–16 travellers on average. We like to keep our groups small and personal, so you’ll get to know everyone pretty quickly and never feel like you’re part of a huge tour group. It’s a great balance of having plenty of people to share the adventure with, while still keeping that relaxed, travelling-with-friends vibe. Think of it as travelling with a bunch of friends, with your Group Leader being that one organised friend who knows the plan each day!

Our trips are packed with great activities, but we know having time to do your own thing is just as important. That’s why we build free time into our group tours in Japan, whether you fancy exploring, relaxing in an onsen or heading out for some local food.

And if you’re not sure what to do with it, you won’t be short on recommendations. Our experienced team know Japan inside out and are always happy to share their favourite spots, places to eat and things to do.

Your trip price includes your accommodation, transport and plenty of unforgettable experiences, with our team on hand to support you throughout the trip. You’ll need to cover your flights, travel insurance and spending money. Prices depend on the trip and departure date, so you’ll find the latest price on each trip page. We also offer flexible deposits and payment plans to help spread the cost.

Once you’ve booked your flights, paid off your trip and sorted some solid travel insurance, you’ll be all set for that Japan adventure. We suggest bringing no less than £450/$550, but this should be the bare minimum. Some people can spend less, but the average will be around £500–600/$600–700 to cover shopping, drinks, extra meals and anything else you fancy treating yourself to. Maybe even a ticket to Universal Studios if that’s your thing!

Most of our travellers join us solo, so we’ll pair you up with other travellers from your group. In Tokyo, we stay in a multi-share poshtel, before moving into twin-share rooms for the rest of the trip. For twin-share accommodation, we’ll pair you with another traveller of the same gender and similar age, so you’ll each have your own bed.

Travelling with a friend or partner? We’ll make sure you’re allocated together wherever possible.

Fancy having your own space? Private room upgrades in Japan are available on request and subject to availability. Just get in touch and we’ll do our best to make it work.

For most travellers, Japan is pretty straightforward when it comes to entry. Many nationalities can enter visa-free for short-term stays, usually up to 90 days. However, rules can vary depending on your passport, so it’s important to double-check the latest entry requirements before you travel. It’s your responsibility to make sure everything is in order so your arrival into Japan is smooth and stress-free.

*It’s important you check your own visa eligibility as we are not visa experts and the information above is general in nature. We’ve put together a blog covering all the above points and more ‘An Unofficial Visa Guide to Asia & Australia’.

Absolutely! Japan is widely considered one of the safest countries in the world, and a brilliant choice if you’re new to travelling on your own. Most people join our trips solo, so you’ll be meeting plenty of others in the same boat and exploring Japan together from Day 1.

You’ll have support from our team throughout the trip, with your accommodation and transport taken care of, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about the logistics. As anywhere, it helps to stay aware, look after your belongings and use common sense, and we’ll share local tips along the way.

Arriving in Japan is pretty straightforward! Airport pickup isn’t included on our Japan trips, but your welcome email will include simple, step-by-step instructions to help you navigate the airport and jump on Japan’s super straightforward public transport to reach our accommodation in Tokyo.

Around 2 weeks before your trip, we’ll also set up a private WhatsApp group so you can start getting to know your fellow travellers, ask questions and get all the important info before the adventure begins!
