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.

- Meet your Tour Director and get deets on tomorrow’s schedule.

Akira (5/5 stars) was an amazing TG! It was like traveling with a family friend. He made sure we were culturally appropriate and was very open about anything we asked. I would travel under his guidance several times over! The 4/5 is because... no traditional hotel??? I think...
