Japan Vacation Ideas

We loved working with Zicasso’s travel specialist. He and his team created a seamless, thoughtfully curated trip, with the perfect balance of guided experiences and time to explore.

Every detail felt intentional and each guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, warm, and engaging—which made the entire journey feel personal and effortless. Highlights included our Tokyo tour, hands-on cultural experiences, and our time in Kyoto, which was our favorite city.

Overall, it was a beautifully executed and memorable experience, and we would absolutely work with the tour operator again.

The planning and execution of our trip to Japan by Zicasso's travel specialists was seamless. Our itinerary included everything we wanted to see. The accommodations were exceptional and the guides were friendly, on time, and knowledgeable. We could not have asked for a better trip!

Zicasso’s travel specialist created an exceptional itinerary, which incorporated everything we asked to do and then some! He and his team thought of every detail to make sure that we had all the information we needed along the way, and we were treated like VIPs at every turn.

Zicasso and our travel company ensured my first trip to Japan as a solo traveler was a 10 of 10. This is not my first time utilizing Zicasso and it won't be the last. The perfect trip was curated by our travel specialist, who organized an amazing trip with some unforgettable guided tours with some of the best guides. I created a ton of memories with them, as well as myself, as I explored various areas of Japan over a 14-day span. The incredible snowboarding at the Furano resort to end the trip was really the icing on the cake.

We (A and B) had an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime, 36-day trip to Japan and were very grateful we found Zicasso’s travel specialist to help us plan our itinerary.

The travel specialist made sure that all our travel arrangements were well thought out and his instructions were (mostly) straightforward. He was a good listener and helped us craft an itinerary that totally suited our needs. We had about four sessions (hours) on Zoom with him before our trip to iron out details. A company that does customized tours was exactly what we were looking for and that is what we got. This way, we had a lot of say in where to go, how long to stay, how we wanted to spend our time, and what attractions we wanted to see. He told us ours was the longest trip to Japan he had helped arrange.

The trip was amazing and we were blessed to be able to see the spectacular fall foliage everywhere we went, Mount Fuji on numerous days, and many beautiful places, as well as eat authentic Japanese food and immerse ourselves in Japanese culture. In addition to all that, we had many days on our own where we were able to meet up with 12 friends of B in three different cities, people B met 45 years ago in Japan.

All the arrangements made for us by the travel company were fantastic, including local transportation, drivers in every city, and train and shinkansen rides. The accommodations were excellent too and we especially appreciated that the location of our hotels was very convenient and in the best areas. The two stays in ryokans in Hakone and Miyajima were unique and special.

Every single local guide we had was fantastic. They were all knowledgeable, friendly, personable, helpful, and kind. The drivers were terrific too and we enjoyed meeting them and talking with them.

We highly recommend this travel company if you are looking for a customized, comprehensive, and fun tour of Japan.

The itinerary was perfect. We appreciated the variety of sites and the wonderful guides arranged by Zicasso's travel company.
