Private luxury tours/concierge for Japan – worth the price tag? For context, I want to buy my parents a trip to Japan. They’re 60, and have traveled a fair bit but only in Europe and Caribbean cruises. They’re not the most tech savvy people, and so I’ve been looking into luxury private tour packages from providers like Kensington Tours or Enchanting Travels so they don’t have to worry about making reservatio…

Travelling to Japan alone as a person with anxiety Hi guys, I’m finally able to travel for the first time after saving up money. All my friends are either busy or say they dont have enough money saved up yet to go with me to Japan. I have terrible anxiety but I’m working on it with medications and exposure therapy.

I could use help with my trip to japan Hello, this is my first trip outside of Europe and I’m running into some issues as far as getting the ticket sorted goes – from the beginning I knew that the plane fee would be the gut punch and due to some issues with getting my passport I couldn’t book the flight 5 or 6 months in advance. I was thinking of booking for the beginning/middle of N…

Never been to Asia. Considering 3 week trip to Japan and Vietnam or Thailand in November I seriously need to recharge and travel and am thinking of a solo trip to Japan and either Vietnam or Thailand for my first Asian adventure.

What other countries/cities to visit on a trip to Japan? I (F20s, USA) haven’t traveled to Asia before with the exception of Vietnam, but I’m hoping to go with a female friend or two to Japan next summer or fall 2024. I probably have time for 2 weeks max to travel, and I’d love to maximize the places I see while I’m there since I don’t know the next time I’ll be in Asia. We’re not huge hikers or foodi…

Katsuo-ji (Japan) is criminally underrated Katsuo-ji temple is a relatively unknown and remote temple that fails to come up on anyone’s itineraries. But this hidden gem is certainly worth visiting. There are “daruma” absolutely everywhere, and finding them is like finding easter eggs. They are purchased at the top of the grounds, where there is a stunning view of the forests and mountain…
