The Ultimate Japan experience

Why choose a Small Group Tour?

Small group tours are one of the best ways to appreciate Japan. Accommodation, transport, most meals and activities are pre-selected and professionally arranged to give travelers a sense of security and ease.

At the same time, it allows you to develop intimate relationships with guides, fellow travelers and local people as well as to enjoy some spontaneous encounters. 

In addition, our Small Group Tours give you unique access to exclusive Japanese experiences. Each Small Group Tour in Japan is individually crafted around a theme whether it is cherry blossom or Japanese food or a Festival.

By limiting the Small Group tours to 8 people, it is easier to move around, you can go to places where large busses can’t get to. Some of the best restaurants and artisan’s workshops in Japan are limited to just a couple of hand-fulls of people at a time – They are just right for small group tours!

Looking for something custom fit to you?

Do you have a specific time for travel, a group you want to travel with, or special needs and wishes for your trip to Japan? We can create a unique Private Tour for you. 

Or you can take one of our Model Itineraries 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.

The tour exceeded our expectation and will be remembered for the best tour of our lives.

I highly recommend touring with JTE. From the first contact they were quick to respond and helpful. They provided a spectacular tour, covering all aspects so efficiently. They arranged my extra accomodation and transport and ensured I not only had all tickets needed but had clear instructions to make it all so easy and stress free.

This tour changed our perceptions of what group tours can offer. The quality of accommodation, tour guides, food and the overall itinerary were professional and individualised. I cannot praise enough, the professionalism of the tour guides who managed to navigate our small group around Japan.

… It was the best organised tour I have ever done – and I’ve done a lot of travelling in crazy and beautiful countries – so many of which no-one can travel to now…..
