Our Japan by Rail Private Journeys are designed for those who want to travel Japan at their own pace and interests at an affordable price. A private journey to Japan can be expensive. For a small group of 2 people (or a group smaller than 8 people), public transportation is the most cost efficient way to travel Japan. Japan has the world's most convenient public transportation system. Depending on the cities and area, trains cover all transportation needs. Japan's trains are spotless, quiet, and always on time. However, there is a lot of walking involved if you travel by train since some attractions are far from the station. Luggage handling can also be a potential problem, however, as Japan specialists, we know how to make your travels as smooth as possible.
Our Japan by Rail Private Journeys feature carefully chosen, centrally located hotel accommodations near stations and sights. This is convenient for exploring the city without hassle as you travel with our private guides by public transportation.

We had the absolute best trip ever and tour guide, Kevin, is phenomenal. Yes, we did have an initial mishap when we didn't see our driver when we landed at the aiport but AJT definitely came through with an amazing tour guide, itinerary, excellent hotels and drivers. Thank you for all your hard work in making this such a memorable trip. Regards, Ashley & Calvin Dabbiere

Could not have asked for a better trip. Everything was perfection. And like clockwork. Amazing, spectacular. I was impressed with every step , starting from when I first reached out to AJT 18 months prior to the trip. Thank you so much.

Excellent stewardship from registration for the trip, during and until the completion of this marvelous second visit to Japan. I highly recommend All Japan Tours. The experiences were unique, the participants (small group for lasting memories and new friendships to nurture), and the beauty and welcoming culture of Japan made for a very memorable trip.
