Worried you won't have enough time on your own on a tour? Consider this:
1. Destination Japan tours give you ample free time to venture out on your own. Plenty of time to go check out other areas, grab a bite to eat at that restaurant you saw earlier, or shop in the really cool store you keep hearing about! Use your free days to let loose and experience Japan your own way.
2. You are free to do whatever you want and go wherever you want. Don't want to be stuck with a tour group? Then go off on your own! Discover Japan for yourself. We'll miss you, but we know tour groups aren't for everyone.
