Japanese Ancestry Tours

Japanese Ancestry Tours

Create a Japanese Ancestry Tour, which combines one of our group tours of the top destinations in the country with a private extension to your family's hometown.


Our Japan Ancestry Tours are ideal for travelers looking to get in touch with their Japanese roots. Many people with Japanese ancestry are living in the US or other countries having never experienced the country that their family comes from, and are looking for just the right tour to show them their heritage. Our tours are perfect for first-time travelers of Japanese ancestry looking for an introduction to their family’s home country and their roots. Plan an itinerary around one of our Golden Route Tours, going to Tokyo, Hakone / Mount Fuji, Kyoto, and Osaka; an excellent introduction to Japan’s top cities and sites, and the ideal base for adding a pre or post- stay Ancestry tour extension to your family’s hometown.

These tours visit the most important spots in the country - the must-travel destinations which, having visited, the first-timer can truly say, “I have been to Japan.” Enjoy the mix of historic and contemporary architecture in the Tokyo metropolis - where old fashioned temples like Asakusa Sensoji stand near modern marvels like Tokyo Skytree. Admire the idyllic Hakone countryside where you can, in good weather, glimpse iconic Mount Fuji from an airborne gondola on the Hakone Ropeway while on your way to the volcanic region of Owakudani. Tour historic Kyoto to see its important temples and shrines, including the thousand red gates of Fushimi Inari, the shining phoenix of the Golden Pavilion, the sacred springs of Kiyomizu Temple, the nightingale floors of Nijo Castle, and the bamboo forest at Arashiyama. Stop by Nara to see the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple and pet the wild deer. Discover the nightlife of Osaka at Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi. Consider a special seasonal tour to see the lovely cherry blossoms or enchanting autumn leaves!

Once you’ve decided on which seasonal itinerary is right for you, complete your Japan Ancestry Tour by adding a pre-stay or post-stay to your family’s hometown. Our Golden Route tours connect to both Tokyo and Osaka, and we can add the extension before or after - whichever is easier for you! Leave it to AJT to book comfortable accommodations in convenient locations, arrange transportation, and help you find historic landmarks, museums, or other points of interest in the area, plus other locations special to you and your family. Let AJT work with you to create the ideal Japan Ancestry Tour that you’ll remember forever.
