Small group holidays in Japan

By joining a group of like-minded travellers, a small group holiday in Japan takes the pressure off the organisation front. And being organised in Japan is part of the cultural makeup. Japan small group holidays are perfect if you want to meet other likeminded explorers for a very sociable experience. Plus, they’re led by amazing local guides, a short cut to the cultural and natural highlights that other visitors might miss.
