DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Japan Tour
Community Travel's DIY Japan Tour is for independent travelers who seek a genuine Japan travel experience. The DIY Japan Tour includes both must-see places and non-touristy venues for your in-depth exploration. Our Japanese/English bi-lingual itinerary will assure you a smooth and worry-free trip, even if you have no knowledge of the Japanese language.
The DIY Japan Tour makes sense. This is one of the most reasonably priced Japan tour packages you will find. Searching for discount hotels/inns and cost-saving transportation, we stretch your dollars and ensure great savings. In addition, our "Pay As You Travel" method, in which you will directly pay for your hotels, transportation, restaurants, and so on during the tour, enables you to save even more on your travel costs, as you will not be paying the administrative fees of a traditional travel agency.
The DIY Japan Tour is also fun and rewarding. If you are looking for a self-paced, carefree trip, this tour is for you. If you have a special interest to pursue such as photography, arts and crafts, gardens, or architecture - this tour is meant for you. It will provide you with ample private time that you will not find in a group tour.
The DIY Japan Tour is also versatile. We can tailor the itinerary to suit your needs by extending or shortening your stay and/or upgrading lodgings and/or rail tickets. We can also help with your ongoing travel plans before and/or after the pre-arranged DIY Japan Tour.
You do not need any skill to take the DIY Japan Tour. The DIY tour will come with a tour kit which will include a list of accommodations, train/bus/ferry schedules, train tickets and a user-friendly, detailed itinerary which shows directions and addresses in both Japanese and English. Following the itinerary, you will be able to check into a hotel, take a train or bus, visit a museum or dine in a restaurant with ease. When you need assistance during your trip, simply ask for help by pointing to the directions in Japanese on the itinerary. You will not only get help, but instantly make a friend!
We currently offer two DIY tours: Japan-in-Depth Tour and Mythological Japan Tour.
We look forward to serving you!
