Why Choose Japan?

Undeniably, no other travel destination excites students and teachers like Japan. It is the perfect student travel destination: diverse, safe, clean, and surprisingly affordable.

Japan is known for being expensive, but that is a misconception based on the quality of Japan's food and housing. As in all countries, the type of accommodation and food you eat affect your budget.

A student trip to Japan can be quite reasonable, comparable to trips to Europe and America.

Diverse seasons and beautiful scenery

Japan has four distinct seasons, each with its own characteristic beauty. In spring, flowers begin to bloom and the country is covered in cherry blossoms. In summer, the hot weather is perfect for water sports. Autumn brings scarlet and gold leaves and spectacular mountain views. In winter, there is snow in parts of Japan and residents ski and participate in winter sports. Whatever the weather, there are scenic landscapes to enjoy.

Coexistence of cutting edge technology and rich traditions

Japan is one of the most developed countries in the world, with cutting edge technology and engineering. At the same time, it is a treasure trove of traditional culture, architecture, and art, with 11 World Heritage Sites. Japan is also a force in popular culture, a leader in animation, fashion, and entertainment.

Developed transportation network

Japan's advanced transportation network makes traveling quick, convenient, and comfortable. The different regions of Japan are all connected by air, rail, or highway. For a thrilling adventure, students can ride a bullet train and experience what it means to be faster than a speeding bullet.

Excellent choice of accommodations and food of Japan

Japan boasts a wide variety of accommodations, from traditional Japanese inns to five star hotels. One of the pleasures of visiting Japan is its rich culinary tradition. Although you can eat food from all over the world, you will find that Japanese cuisine is delicious and varied. Try authentic sushi and tempura, or, for the budget conscious, sample creative dishes like Japanese pancakes (Okonomiyaki) and rice and beef bowls (Gyudon). With such diversity in housing and food, there is something for every taste and budget.

Safe and comfortable holiday

Japan is a very safe country for students to visit since it has a low crime rate and advanced international communication and medical care. It is common for female students to walk around at night alone.

Friendly, English speaking people

As a part of their education, all Japanese students are required to study English. Although all locals have studied English for at least three years, most study upwards of six years. If you need information in Japan, you will have no problem being able to communicate in English. Some of the Japanese may be shy or may not be fluent, but they are hospitable people and eager to help.

Budget Travel

No other country interests students more than Japan. Renowned for its cleanliness, safety, and efficiency, Japan is the ideal destination for students. It has the added advantage of having a wide variety of accommodations and types of food, making it affordable on a student budget.

Homestay in Japan

The best ways to learn and adapt to local customs is to stay with a welcoming Japanese family. Experience Japanese hospitality and improve your Japanese conversational skills through various activities such as farming, logging, and cooking Japanese style meals. Take the off-beaten path of exploring Japan's culture and its traditional lifestyle with a unique homestay experience.

5.0 stars based on 38 REVIEWS

Our travel group of 4 adults and 15 teenagers had the most profoundly enjoyable and life changing experience touring Japan with All Japan Tours. Yuki, our guide, was very prepared, organized, flexible and very thoughtful. The sites, accommodations, transportation and food all exceeded our expectations. Last minute changes to our itinerary and food restrictions within our travel group were all handled with care and understanding. We intend to return to Japan and will only use All Japan Tours. The trip would not have been as wonderful without the caring support of our guide. Yuki is such a warm and thoughtful person who's good humor and care provided such an enjoyable experience. All members of our group have expressed so much gratitude for Yuki and truly miss her. Thank you Yuki!

Hotels were very nice and having a bus to pick us up and transport us to the next site was wonderful. Our tour guide, Yuki was very organized, very patient and fun. We saw so much, shopped and ate. Everyone loved the stay at the Ryokan and the delicious kaiseki dinner. The group loved the Onsen at the different hotels. After touring, they found it so relaxing to head to the Onsen. We also loved traveling on the different transportation in Hiroshima. Riding on the bullet train, the ferry, the local train, the local bus and trolley……we were so impressed!

Our trip to Korea was amazing, our tour guides were awesome. We did so many things in 8 days. Totally recommended.

Wonderful. We had private tours - 7 of them Everything worked as planned with one exception . And the hitch was corrected quickly by AJT . Excellent guides

Great tour guides, Rie and Yuki were wonderful. Our bus driver was outstanding. The tour was very well planned and featured more countryside locations of Japan. Awesome
