Why experience Japan with Contiki?
Small group, big connection
Our Japan trips average around 20 people (30 max), the perfect amount for in-depth chats and immersive experiences.
Stays are part of the story
Sleep in a ryokan with a private onsen and wake to a hand-plated breakfast at a traditional Buddhist guesthouse. In Japan, your stay is always part of the story.
Trip Managers & Local Guides
Your friendly Trip Manager stays with you for the whole trip, and they’re joined by Local Guides who know each bit of Japan, inside and out.
"I would do this trip 100 times again if I could! Seeing [Japan] for the first time with Contiki was great."
Justin
"The best thing I’ve ever done. Our trip manager was absolutely AMAZING and his extensive knowledge, passion and dedication made the trip one to remember forever."
Brianna
"The itinerary was calm, yet filled with everything we could have possibly wanted to fit in. Everything blended well together and it was a great experience."

Japan really is magical all year round (how lucky are we?). So, the best time to visit really depends on what you’re looking for. Want to spot Mt Fuji? Then visit Japan in June or July for those crystal clear views (and we highly recommend sticking around for the firework festivals too!) If you wanna catch Japan in all its winter glory and ski down those spectacular slopes - book our Japan Winter Wonder trip between November and March. And if colourful cherry blossoms are what you’re looking for, then visit Japan in April or May.
