Japan is one of our favorite places that we have traveled and if you don’t have it on your bucket list already then maybe these 7 day Japan tours will change your mind! Most people just go to Japan for Tokyo but there are so many more places to see.
These tours make it easy to see multiple cities in one trip and best of all you don’t have to figure out places to stay in each city, what museums are the best, and most come with a full-time guide that will come with you to each city. Keep in mind that these tours do not have flights included so make sure that you book your flights before you book the tour. I’ve also included some 8-13 day tours so that you have more options to choose from.
