ようこそ
welcome
Tailor-made for you
Journey to the East’s Private Tours of Japan are a complete holiday (not just a day tour) which offers bespoke trips focused on sites, culture, nature, art, or cuisine. Customized Japan Private Tours are great for couples, families, groups of friends, clubs, and special interest groups,
A Private Tour of Japan typically starts with close consultation with you and questions like “when are you thinking of travelling and for how long?”, “how many of you in a group and the composition (including ages)”, “what is the purpose (occasion) of the visit?” and “any preferences for what you like to see and do?”.
We can create a bespoke tour from the ground-up or use one of our Private Tour Model Itineraries as a starting point. These include:
- Private tours for any time of the Year
- Autumn Private tours
- Cherry Blossom Private tours
- Side-trip tours (add-ons for our Private or Small Group Tours)
You may like to pick some contents from our Small Group Tours to include in your Private Tour. With our intimate knowledge of Japan, we can suggest the best ways to achieve your goals, meet your preferences and budget.
Level of accommodation, the number of guided days, mode of transport, inclusion of meals are all up to you. Once the tour plan is agreed, we provide a detailed itinerary with train timetables, directions and details of arrangements for your hotels and restaurants.
According to our past guests, our private tours in Japan “worked like clockwork”, which takes away the travel stress. That is exactly what we aim for. With an endless amount of information and fast moving world, who has time to research all to plan a fail-proof holiday?
Please note we require a minimum 2-3 months to design and arrange a private tour.
Why choose a private tour of Japan?
Made to suit your needs
Suitable for meeting specific needs of travellers including mobility, dietary requirements, travel pace or accommodation preferences as well as celebrating special occasions such as anniversaries.
Flexibility in time
Custom made private tours of Japan can start and finish any time in a year, perfect for people who have specific time for travel.
Go exactly where you want
An off-the-shelf group tour may not include all the destinations you would like to visit, or may include places that are not necessarily of your preference, but with a tailor-made private tour you can select the exact destinations you would like to visit.
Enjoy a stress-free holiday
Private tours of Japan are ideal for busy people who want their holiday in Japan professionally planned so they can just turn up and have the great stress-free holiday the need and deserve.
Private Tour Model Itineraries
You can take the model itinerary as is, or combine or modify it to suit your needs. There are some great Extension Itineraries available too, and they can also be added before or after joining our Small Group Tours.
Like our popular Small Group Tours, these itineraries are packed with unique and authentic experiences, the Journey to the East way.
All-year-round tours
Autumn Tours

Side Tours (Tour Extensions)
ONLY available with any of the Journey to the East Small Group Tours or as an add on to a Private Tour.
These private extensions allow you to add on extra places of interest at the conclusion (or before) of your Small Group Tour. Extensions can be as simple as an additional night at the tour hotel or multi-city, multi-day itineraries. Please see below some of our popularly requested extensions for ideas, or talk to us about designing an extension just for you.
Journey to the East tailored a unique tour for us for the third time. We keep coming back to Japan because Journey to the East creates such wonderful customized tours that we always leave Japan with the desire to return soon. We have great memories from each tour that we have taken with the company. The wonderful guides make all the difference. They are amazing and so helpful that they make the tours so much better.

JTTE was outstanding in their orchestration of our trip. This can be a once in a lifetime trip for many, and having an organization like JTTE as a planning partner was terrific. Their team was easy to work with, thoughtful, considerate of our thoughts and desires, and focused on providing us with the best trip within our timeframe and desires. We highly recommend JTTE as a trip planning partner.

Journey to the East designed and delivered an excellent 2 week family holiday for us to Japan. The guides and the service from Journey to the East were both faultless.

I would never go back to Japan without using Journey to the East and I wish they arranged travel in 100 more countries. Highly recommend.

Journey to the East gave us an unforgettable Honeymoon experience. We wanted to see as much of the different aspects and places of Japan as we could and they really delivered. I know we wouldn’t have seen half as much as we did if we’d gone ourselves so I highly recommend you do yourself a favour and book a tour with this company.
