Which trip style is right for you?

Essential: Budget-friendly, shared accommodations. Perfect for solo travelers and extroverts.

Plus: Hotel-style rooms with one other traveler. Great for those who want more privacy.

Why go?

In Japan, everything’s done just a biiit differently. There’s sushi—on conveyor belts. Ancient shrines—in actual lakes. And neon lights—as far as the eye can see. So, if culture shock is on your bucket list, this journey’s got you covered.

Itinerary

Day 1: Overnight flight

Hop on a plane heading west and cross the international date line, because you’ve got a big date with Japan—and all that ramen isn’t going to eat itself. 

Day 2: Arrive in Tokyo

Say konnichiwa to Tokyo, home to more people, vending machines, and Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere else. Settle in, meet your fellow travelers, and get ready to explore.
