You found a suitable destination or experience, but the route, timing, meeting point, or format does not fully match your plans.

You Want One Focused Private Day

You want one personalized tour day built around a particular city, theme, experience, or travel priority.

Your Group Has Specific Requirements

For Travel Professionals

Requesting a tour for your client?

Travel agents and advisors may submit an individual custom Single-Day Tour request without first joining the Japan Awaits Travel Agency Partnership Program.

Need Broader Planning?

Some requests are better suited to Multi-Day Planning.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers about destinations, transportation, intercity requests, planning fees, and which service is the right fit for your travel plans.

Should I use this page if I want to book an existing Japan Awaits tour?
If an existing tour already matches the experience, timing, group needs, and travel arrangements you are looking for, you can book or inquire through that tour page. Use the custom Single-Day Tour process when your plans require additional flexibility or arrangements beyond an existing tour.
Can I request a tour in a city or region not listed on the website?
Yes. You can submit a request for a destination that does not currently have a standard Japan Awaits tour page. Our team will check local service availability, transportation options, timing, and route practicality before confirming what arrangements may be possible.
Can I request a private guide and vehicle?
Yes. Depending on the request, a custom Single-Day Tour may include a private guide, private vehicle, public transportation, or a suitable combination. Availability and pricing depend on destination, date, group size, route, duration, vehicle capacity, and special requirements.
Can a Single-Day Tour include travel between cities?
In some cases, yes. Selected city-to-city arrangements may be possible when the travel time, transportation options, route, and planned activities can fit comfortably within one day.
Is there a consultation or planning fee?
There is no separate consultation or planning fee for custom Single-Day Tour requests. Multi-Day Tour planning follows a different process.
Can you arrange hotels or Shinkansen tickets through this service?
Hotel support, Shinkansen coordination, and broader itinerary planning across multiple days belong to our Multi-Day Tour planning service rather than the custom Single-Day Tour process.
Can travel agents submit custom Single-Day Tour requests for their clients?
Yes. Travel agents and travel advisors can submit custom Single-Day Tour requests for their clients through the same initial request process.
