Tailored Self-Guided Itineraries

Our finely detailed, self-guided Japan itineraries are tailored to your specific interests, desires and needs.

Hosted tours aren’t for everyone (as intimate, luxe and wondrous as ours may be!). Sometimes you need to dance to your own rhythm. Perhaps the dates don’t work,  you prefer to wake up in your own good time,  travel solo or with kids (sadly our tours are only open to those 20 years and over), have a particular season in mind,  or  very specific dietary requests.

But we know better than anyone how much time and energy is involved in the intimate research and planning needed to produce a great Japan experience. After all, this fascinating country can be  tricky to get around sometimes- particularly if you don’t speak or read the language. And the culture.. well it goes way deep friends—you are not even scratching the surface if you ‘just turn up’ and ‘wing it’. Truly. A little information up front goes a long way with Japan travel. And the choices are vast.

We sat down and considered how we might be able to share a little taste of what we do on a Zenbu Tour  – without us actually being by your side.  And Voila!

Enjoy your very own Zenbu Tours Japan travel experience—whenever and however it suits you, with us in your carry-on luggage instead of waving a lime green flag in front of you! (just kidding, we don’t do flags…. ever..!)

How does it work?

First we get some details from you – about the kinds of things you are interested /or not in seeing, doing, eating, drinking etc.,  your ideal daily budget for doing such, your expectations, any mobility issues etc – and any plans you need or would like to work in or around.

Then we go away and produce something perfect for you and  our requirements –  significantly reducing your planning time pre-tour, ensuring you aren’t running around wasting valuable leave-time in situ,  and helping to boost your confidence to do it on your own (knowing we’re here if you need us, at any time..just an email away! Just in case..).

What does it cost?

$350 AUD per itinerary day – with a minimum of 3 days (which don’t have to be consecutive of course  – you can be travelling 3 weeks and only employ our services for 3 days within it – we usually end up providing more than you need!) 

Please note that payment must be received before we commence developing your personalised itinerary.

How long does it take?

Ideally we’d like you to provide us with as much notice as possible pre-travel so we can take our time in planning the perfect itinerary for you, and allow you time to absorb it before you depart, and ask any final questions. However, if you are in a pickle – we’ll do what we can to expedite proceedings!

We look forward to helping you fall in love with Japan  – again and again.
