Your Questions Answered

We are a team of hospitable locals and knowledgeable long-term foreign residents committed to creating exceptional journeys throughout Japan. With deep cultural insight and a love for discovery, we design unique adventures that go beyond the familiar, connecting you with the landscapes, traditions, and communities that make Japan extraordinary.

When you purchase a tour from Japan Adventurer, we automatically enrol you in basic travel insurance as a legal requirement. The insurance pays out up to 300 million yen per incident. We also have insurance to cover our bicycle operations. Although we enrol you in basic travel insurance, you should still purchase your own general travel insurance in case our coverage is insufficient.

As a licensed tour operator, we pay a large warranty to the government of Japan which would be used to reimburse our customers in case of bankruptcy. We’re also members of ANTA, the All Nippon Travel Agents Association, which provides a complaint resolution and debt resolution program.

When you book a tour, we ask for a 10% deposit, with the balance to be paid a month before the start of the tour. You can pay by credit card or bank transfer.

On our sightseeing tours, we offer an English-speaking driver who will drive, help with check-in, and offer advice on the smooth operation of your tour. This allows you the peace of mind that you won’t encounter a situation where you’re alone and helpless. However, the driver doesn’t provide guide services. Although you can get by without a guide, our professional guides add a lot of value to your experience in Japan. Even if you’ve been to Japan before, it’s likely you’ll see many things that you haven’t seen before and want to know about. Our guides can provide this knowledge that enriches your trip and makes it memorable.

Our outdoor adventure tours are all guided for your safety and enjoyment.

Our tours are mainly by taxi, so luggage forwarding and other inconveniences aren’t necessary. This service is available at large hotels, but our tours feature a variety of accommodation types, some of which focus more on old-school hospitality and less on the latest services.

The flavouring of Japanese cooking is based on fish broth, soy sauce, and two kinds of sake (rice alcohol). The Japanese typically eat many kinds of fish and meat.
If you’re vegetarian or vegan, or you require halal or kosher food, you will likely have considerable difficulty finding something suitable, and you’ll spend a lot of your time just looking for something to eat. Often you’ll need to eat the same thing several days in a row. While we’ll try to arrange accommodation and restaurants that provide something suitable, we cannot guarantee that it will be fully vegetarian or vegan.
If you have allergies, please let us know.
