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?

This spring break trip hits different-different. Because in Japan, late night food is a big ole bowl of ramen. The photodump is from the most neon street in the world. And before you ask—yes—there’s plenty of *oontz oontz oontz* to go around.

What you'll get

  • Round-trip flights & airport transfers (or book 'em yourself)
  • 7 nights in handpicked accommodations
  • 7 breakfasts
  • 3 included dinners
  • Expert Tour Director
  • 24/7 support
  • Entrance to shrines, temples, and other local attractions

Picture yourself

  • Uncovering centuries of tradition at ancient temples and shrines
  • Slurping ramen and popping sushi on repeat
  • Wandering the neon streets of Shibuya and Dotonbori
  • Cruising around a lake in the shadow of Mt. Fuji
  • Time traveling to old-world Japan in Kyoto

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.

Today’s highlights
  • 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.
