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.
- Land at the airport and meet an EF representative.
- Transfer to your accommodations and check in.
- Meet your Tour Director and get deets on tomorrow’s schedule.
