Important info
Special notes
- We always recommend travelling with a backpack and packing light! 10-20kgs of stuff should be plenty. We will be using mainly trains for transport so dragging around a huge suitcase is not much fun. Depending on your onward travel plans there is luggage storage at the airports or at some accommodations if needed.
- 17-year-olds may join with parental or guardian consent; however, min drinking age is 20. It's unlikely anyone below this age will be allowed in to a bar. They are quite strict.
- The trip involves a lot of walking (10k+ steps per day) and some quad share rooms have bunk beds.
- Japan generally uses a 2 pin flat socket the same as North America. It's always best to grab yourself an appropriate adaptor if needed before you go.
- Please bring all valuable items with you at all times. Do not leave valuable items on the bus or at the hotel, attraction, or restaurant. Tours4Fun, local operators, drivers, and tour guides are not responsible for any loss or theft at any location.
