Japan Tour FAQs
-
Japan is in the northern hemisphere, so its seasons run in parallel to the UK's. Spring and autumn typically enjoy the most favourable conditions for touring Japan, when blossoming trees or dramatic changes in hue in later months make for a breathtaking backdrop to any trip.
Its winter can be bitterly cold, although this may be ideal if you're keen to visit for a skiing holiday, tackling some of the slopes that welcomed the world for the Winter Olympics of 1998 in Nagano. Summer's temperatures can be stifling while extreme humidity often makes for uncomfortable conditions when travelling.
-
There's one event that you must take care to plan a tour of Japan around if you don't want to miss it. Cherry blossom unfurls in March and April, so this is when you should arrange your trip if a floral frolic is your priority. However, please note hotels are often sold out a year in advance.
-
Our tours of Japan start at £4,200 per person, but the final cost will depend on the particulars of your itinerary and any extras we can provide to make your holiday perfect. When you contact one of our travel experts, they'll make it clear how much you can expect to spend.
