Love the idea of travelling independently around Japan but with none of the hassle? Our self guided Japan holidays are just the ticket! Let our expert consultants do all the hard work for you, creating your perfect tailormade tour. They’ll pre-book all your hotels, train travel, local transportation and guided excursions, allowing you to focus on enjoying the journey.

You’ll be provided with plenty of sightseeing suggestions, including directions of how to find everything, supplied to you in a detailed information pack. You’ll also get access to our SelfGuide app, pre loaded with the key destinations you’re visiting. Like an interactive guide book on your phone or tablet, it’s packed with details of attractions, shopping and restaurants including maps and opening times. It’s simple to use and fully off-line, so it can be accessed anywhere.

To help you stay connected we provide a pocket router for free unlimited wi-fi access across Japan. You can Instagram to your heart’s content, keep in touch with loved ones, check a live train time or even chat to our local representatives if you have any questions. You are then free to set your own pace and discover the joys of exploring Japan as a local, but with the reassurance that Trailfinders are with you every step of the way.

With more than 50 years’ experience, Trailfinders has developed the skills and expertise needed to put together all the pieces for a successful self guided Japan holiday.
