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.

  • 7 nights in handpicked accommodations
  • 7 breakfasts

Picture yourself

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.

There is no option for .5 stars, but this trip was about a 4.5 just due to the heat (it was bad..). The people were amazing, the guide was amazing, the sights were wonderful, and Japan was just a blast. I definitely left this trip with plenty of stories to tell. It was fun, but...

Wonderful trip to Japan!

It was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in visiting Japan. The guide was excellent, and the itinerary shows a lot, but it still leaves you craving more if you're ever curious about returning.
