We know you’ve been waiting! We’ve been waiting! But finally we can welcome group tours back to Japan, and we are so excited. Just like this picture, the sun is rising on travel to Japan!

Sunrise on the Shimanami kaidoAs we’re sure you know, Japan has had some of the strictest border policies of industrialised nations globally – basically, it’s been really difficult to get into and out of the country for the last two and a half years. We really hope everyone is and stays safe and healthy, that’s definitely most important. But we’re looking forward to helping our guests see amazing parts of Japan – and we can certainly offer some of the best group tours to Japan!

The new border policy allows entry for “Foreign nationals newly entering Japan for a short-term stay for tourism – only when a travel agency among others organizing the trip serves as the receiving organization of the entrants” (see here for full details). The good news is that WE ARE A TRAVEL AGENCY and WE CAN ARRANGE YOUR TRIP. There are several conditions – meeting you at the airport, having a tour conductor, etc. – but we can take care of that. For example, Miho (one of the founders of Hidden Japan Travel) is a qualified tour conductor so she can sort the logistics out. We can also work with groups of all sizes – big or small.

So, if you’re looking for a group tour of Japan, get in touch. If you’re a non-Japanese tour company looking to send guests to Japan, we’d love to hear from you. We’re here, we’re healthy, and we’re passionate about showing this amazing country to you. You can get in contact here.
