Travel Planning to Japan
Business Travel or a Leisure Tourist??
There is always considerable cost savings and convenience from booking a reservation in a group tour of Japan. Consider which of the 2 type of travelling arrangements you prefer: a member of a Group Tour or an Independent Traveller - Business Traveller and Tourist.
Depending on where you live you should contact a travel agent who specializes in arranging Group tours to Japan ,or for the independent traveller, depending on your budget, you can arrange all your travel reservations, such as airline ticket purchase at your local travel agencies. Again, it really depends on your personality, your travel experience and self-reliance; your budget and time constraints; and your level of proficient in the Japanese language.

We encourage you to learn basic Japanese: learning a few greetings and how to ask the price of a service or product. A one-term night school course in Japanese is an excellent introduction to the Japanese language for short-term travel; check your local community college. It is advisable to become familiar with and own a good Japanese phrase book - we provide a few language suggestions and solutions.
