* Included in Price: Hotel Transfers
* Not Included in Price: Cancellation Waiver and Insurance of $549 per person,, Air quotes are available from your departure city💡 NOTE: The overall activity level of this tour is a level 3. This means you’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal. A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you. Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect some longer days with early mornings or late nights balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.
🎌 This is your chance to experience Japan in a way few travelers do. Whether it's your first time in Japan or you're returning to dive deeper, this journey promises cultural wonder, personal connection, and memories to last a lifetime.
