InsideJapan Tours – part of Inside Travel Group – is announcing the official launch of its latest ‘Must-see Japan’ Small Group Tour, a fast-paced itinerary focused on hitting Japan’s key highlights, with zero single supplement for solo adventurers.

Joining InsideJapan Tour’s portfolio of essential-grade Small Group Tours, all of which offer zero single supplement, this trip appeals to solo and group travellers alike.

Blending the vibrant big city life of Tokyo and Osaka with 20^th century history in Hiroshima, rural Japan in Hakone, and ancient culture in Kyoto, this route follows the country’s most iconic sights.

InsideJapan Senior Japan Tailormade Product Manager Kate Samuel said this tour is designed to offer the best of both worlds – the energy of Japan’s major cities and serenity of its rural regions.

“We understand that travellers want to experience Japan’s iconic highlights whilst also having the freedom to explore the more rural parts of the country,” Kate said.

“Despite the fast-paced nature of this itinerary, there is still plenty of time factored in for independent exploration, making it appealing for those who value the freedom of exploring on their own, as well as the expert guidance of a tour leader.

“Led by one of our ‘Insider’ tour leaders, this is the perfect trip for those looking to really get beneath the surface, with personalised information and expert knowledge to bring the destination to life.

“From introducing travellers to traditional izakaya favourites, local restaurants, tucked-away bars and hidden backstreets, this tour provides a real glimpse into local life and culture.”

With the added benefit of zero single supplement, this Small Group Tour is the ideal choice for those allured to the serendipity of travelling alone.

“We know that solo travel is on the rise for various reasons, whether it be the desire for self-discovery, making life-long friends with people you’d never otherwise meet, taking a break from the pressures of life, or calendars not lining up with others,” Kate said. 

“Whether you’re travelling alone, with friends, or with family, this flexible small group introduces Japan at its best, unlocks cultural doors to new experiences and brings together amazing people from incredible places around the world – with a max of 14 people per tour.”

This trip runs over 10 nights, starting in Tokyo and visiting Hakone, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Osaka and Kamakura (as an optional day trip).
