Japan Tours, Holiday Packages and Travel Deals 2025 & 2026

Japan was amazing! Being Spring we saw the start of the Sakura ( Cherry Blossom season) but was truly amazed at seeing snowfall and snowy mountain sides. The highlight for me was the optional tour to Takayama and Shirakawago. The latter was a snow drenched village and absolutely beautiful. One could swear that it looked just like a Swiss village in winter. I cannot suggest anything to improve. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. Kentu, our guide, went above and beyond to help and teach us about his country and we couldn't wish for a better driver. Great trip, couldn't be happier.

The guide was fantastic (Yusuka). Bus and driver also very good. The best places for me were the less frequented places, without the 'boulevard' of travel tat to every shrine, temple or theatre!

Price was good Nara park was a highlight

We loved visiting Takayama and Shirakawa

Loved everything. The Tour Guide Kito was excellent. The experiences at different sites was great with Hiroshima and Sumo wrestling on my Free Dsy being a Highlight. Only negatives were it was a bit cold still so the Cherry Blossoms weren’t out much yet. And there were a bit too many tours to Shrines and Temples. Apart from that everything else was really good. Would highly recommend Trip A Deal as a travel option.

We loved this trip a great taste of Japan . From Mt Fuji to Hiroshima. Tokyo to Kyoto fabulous .Food was different! Breakfasts not so great. People mostly polite and accommodating. Tour guide brilliant. Accomodation small but close to great shops and eateries. Food very cheap fruit expensive .Mostly central to rail stations. One too many temples. Must have cash and good travel card . Google translate was our friend . Lots of walking sometimes too far and too fast .

Our trip was fantastic! We loved the whole experience! Our guide was awesome! Very informative & nothing was a problem at all if we wanted or needed anything!! We had many many highlights!! Thank you Trip a Deal

The 10 day Cherry Blossom tour was amazing. For us it was seamless. Having a basic tour to start with is great, and you can add in the optional extra tours if that suits you. You can customize it to suit yourself, or have a free day to catch up on rest if needed. We choose to do all the extra tours. Our guide Hiro Yuren was amazing and funny. Yes it's long days, yes there's a lot of bus travel, but you use the bus travel time to sit and relax and enjoy the scenery. There a lots of stops for toilet and food breaks. You can basically live out of a 7/11 or similar convenience stores for food and drink. It's really cheap too. We were exhausted at the end of every day, which made for a good night's sleep every night. The accommodation varies where you stay, all of our hotels were lovely, yes some were small and tight spaces, but that added to the adventure, but the location of every hotel we had was fantastic. Walking distant to do many things. With our 10 day tour it was great in the respect that we had first hotel 1 night, 2nd hotel 1 night, and the next 3 hotels were 2 nights each. This made it a little less busy with less traveling then other tours. We saw some amazing things, more than we bargained for, and unfortunately the cherry blossoms hadn't bloomed in the Tokyo gardens yet, but we were fortunate enough to see some in another city. I highly recommend this tour. Our only complaint would be there was a four hour wait from arriving at our hotel till check in time. We were tired from the flights, but you can leave your luggage at the hotel and go for a wander.

Loved our tour director - Grace - she was awesome! Didn’t like: - to much bus time - flexibility in changing accomodation times due to unforeseen circumstances

We’ve just returned from fantastic Ultimate Japan Tour, loved every moment, wonderful Tour guide Aki, very well run, well organised, seen & experienced all that we planned to do, highlights every day, even woke up to it snowing one day!! Highlights were Tokyo City & overnight cruise to Osaka. Would definitely recommend Trip a Deal Ultimate Japan 17 days Tour! Great value for money & flying Qantas was a bonus.

Great tour guide (Soya) who made the tour fun and was extremely helpful and well organised. Hiroshima was very moving. I loved the gardens (Ritsurin and Kenrokeun) as well as the Bamboo Forest. Osaka at night was wonderful. I thought maybe the optional excursion to Ine was a bit far to go and a better idea may have been a more local Osaka optional day or half day tour.

Looked after from the moment of exiting customs in Toyoko. Hit the ground running but didn’t miss anything & everything from sightseeing to accommodation was perfect. Very informative bus excursion with tour guide & bus driver, both fabulous people.

Kanga-san (driver) - was the best, safest driver out! Aiko-san (tour leader) - was brilliant: she was extremely knowledgeable passionate and enthused about her country and she conveyed this during the tour! She effectively used her very good organisational skills to re-organise site/visits, as she needed to. I can't believe what we saw and did in the week we were there - both Aiko-san & Kanga-san are certainly an asset to "Trip-a-Deal". The only improvement I'd suggest is a "meet & greet" on the first night - but due to delayed flights, etc, we were all very tired and just wanted to go to bed that night! This, plus the "farewell" drinks on the last night would be great - that way everyone would get to know each other upfront. As it is - we met many great people and some of us are even planning our next "Trip-a-Deal" together ... watch this space!!

Tour guide outstanding Variation of itinerary was a huge bonus Name tags day one would be appreciated

It was not only my first Trip a Deal but also my first organised tour. What an amazing trip and experience. It was a 2 for 1 deal and I travelled with my son. We both had a wonderful time. The tour itself was fantastic, everything was organised perfectly and the tour guide - Rini was amazing!!!
