About the trip

This small-group solo-friendly tour by G Adventures covers a collection of Japanese highlights with a curious mix of city bustle, traditional culture and unexpected detours. The itinerary starts in Tokyo with visits to the Senso-ji Temple and the neon-lit Asakusa neighbourhood, topped by the crossing at Shibuya — possibly the busiest intersection on the planet.

From there, travel north to Nagano’s Zenkō-ji Temple and then west to the ryokan town of Fukui, better known for durable knives than tourist souvenirs. An overnight in a Buddhist temple offers a glimpse of Japan’s quieter traditions. Further highlights include Matsumoto Castle and the Snow Monkey Park, before heading south to Hiroshima’s Peace Park and the wooded island of Miyajima.

Throughout, your Chief Experience Officer balances group tours with free time, letting you pick a sushi train or a quiet backstreet snack. The trip uses Japan’s bullet trains, so an overnight bag is a must while luggage follows on. The itinerary is neatly paced and well-judged, ideal for solo travellers open to company but with plenty of opportunity to step back and take in the details quietly.
