Special Small Group Departures

Our Special Small Group Departures offer the opportunity for guests to enjoy one of our most popular tours to Japan with a more limited group size (16 guests).


Our Special Small Group Departures are a set of group tour departures with a more limited group size. If you like the look of our Golden Route or Best of Japan Tours, but are hoping for a less crowded group, these small group departures are perfect for you! Our standard group size is 35 people (on a 45-seat coach bus), but our Special Small Group Departures reduce the maximum number of guests to 16 guests per bus. These small departures still include all the same sights and adventures of the regular group tours, with even more room to stretch your legs, a more intimate group feeling, and more personal attention from the guide. We have Special Small Group Departures for our most popular tours for first-time travelers, so you can have the perfect introduction to the historic treasures and cultural wonders of Japan on our 7-day Golden Route Tours and 10-day Best of Japan Tours.

Our Special Small Group Departures of our Golden Route Tours are our most popular tours, visiting sights and experiences in Tokyo, Hakone / Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. Stroll the bustling Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo and enjoy creating your own sushi under the guidance of an expert. Take in the beauty of the gorgeous Hakone landscape, and glimpse Mount Fuji (in clear weather) while riding the Hakone Ropeway to the active volcanic zone of Owakudani. Discover the UNESCO World Heritage treasures of Kyoto; its memorable historic sites include the Golden Pavilion, Kiyomizu Temple, Nijo Castle, and Fushimi Inari Shrine. See the Great Buddha of Nara inside Todaiji Temple and meet the wild deer roaming freely in Nara Park. Experience the nightlife of Osaka while exploring the vibrant Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi districts. Our Best of Japan Special Small Group Departures add a few days in Hiroshima to see the stately and thought-provoking Peace Memorial Park and Museum, look through the Floating Gate of Miyajima Island, enjoy a scenic drive over the Shimanami Kaido to admire the Seto Inland Sea and its islands, take a cruise through picturesque Oboke Gorge, stroll through stunning Ritsurin Park in Takamatsu, and savor a dinner of mouthwatering Wagyu beef in Kobe.

We have prepared Special Small Group Departures during the major travel seasons (spring, summer, and autumn), so you can enjoy a smaller, less crowded group experience at a time that fits your schedule. Browse our Special Small Group Departures, which are marked on the itinerary list with a small red banner reading “Small Group”. Scroll over the banner to see the maximum number of passengers for that group.
