Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 11 Day Solo-ish Japan. Japan is on everyone’s bucket list, but that doesn’t mean you need to wait for a travel buddy to book that ticket. This 11-day Solo-ish adventure makes exploring Japan on your own effortless, giving you just the right mix of time with your expert CEO and fellow travelers, along with plenty of freedom to explore solo. Spend the night at a Japanese temple with your travel mates, diving deep into this beautifully unique way of life. And, because no trip to Japan is complete without a stay at a traditional ryokan, you’ll...read more overnight in Fukui — a gem off the beaten path, famed for its knife-making heritage. Your CEO will guide you to the must-sees of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima, and we’re pretty sure you’ll be planning your next visit long before you say “Sayonara.”
