All Japan Tours

A Japan tour company with a California office

All Japan Tours designs and sells multi-day escorted group tours, private journeys and custom group trips in Japan, with some tours extending to South Korea, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. The homepage says its "Japan group tour packages are fully escorted," that its itineraries "are researched and developed by our professional staff, all of whom have spent years working as a tour guide in Japan," and it refers to "our long-time tour guides in Japan." It plans trips from what it calls "Our California office," open Monday to Friday 8:30AM - 5:30PM (PST) and Saturday 9:00AM - 3:00PM (PST). Prices are shown in US dollars.

The tour grid tags destinations across the country: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Nikko, Tokyo, Hakone, Mt Fuji, Takayama, Shirakawago, Kanazawa, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Koyasan, Kumano, Ise, Himeji, Kurashiki, Matsue, Yamaguchi, Hiroshima, Naoshima, Shikoku and Kyushu, plus Okinawa. The site says packages are "available with or without international flights," and it shows "973 Tour Reviews" on the homepage.

Group tours by length and style

The site offers "six different tour styles," and its menu lists Essential, Classic, Deluxe, Deluxe-Plus, Signature, Budget, Active and Ultra-Deluxe, plus multi-country combinations. Tours can be searched by style, interest, date, season and number of nights.

The published group tours run from short to very long. Tokyo to Kyoto is 6 days from US$1848.00, with departures Mar-Oct. The Golden Route Japan Tour runs 7 days & 8 days from Tokyo to Osaka, from US$2898.00, runs Jan-Dec, and is marked Guaranteed, with English Tour and Private Coach as features; the site pitches it at "first time visitors with limited time." The Golden Triangle of Japan runs 8 days to 11 days from US$3198.00, and Best of Japan Tour 10 days to 13 days from US$4198.00. Japan In Depth Tour is 14 days from Tokyo to Fukuoka from US$5898.00, the Grand Tour of Japan 22 days from Sapporo to Fukuoka from US$9098.00, and the Super Grand Tour of Japan 27 days from Sapporo to Okinawa from US$11098.00. In between, Majestic Japan is a 14-day loop from Tokyo from US$6098.00 that takes in the Snow Monkey Park, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Kanazawa, Himeji, Hiroshima, Shikoku Island, Nara, Kyoto, Hakone and Mount Fuji, and Discover Japan runs 11 days to 13 days from US$5698.00 by private coach and public transportation.

Signature tours sit at the top. Signature: Essence of Japan is 10 days from US$6898.00, and Signature: Classic Japan is 14 days from US$9298.00, described as "Experience the culture of Japan at a slower pace with groups of maximum 12 people." Ultra-Deluxe trips add "a personal guide and driver," first-class Shinkansen seats and high-end hotels and ryokans.

Themed departures include the Best Ever Japan Food Tour from US$4498.00, an Anime Flavor Tour, and Japan Family Tours of 9 days to 12 days from US$3598.00 in Jun & Jul, which the site says include "Special planned experiences related to Anime, Samurai, Ninja and Japan's traditional culture." The interest menu also lists cherry blossom, autumn leaves, festival, photography, garden, pottery, birding and wildlife tours, Japanese Ancestry Tours and Wheelchair Accessible Tours.

Seasons and festivals

Much of the homepage is built around timing a trip. It calls its cherry blossom tours "our most popular tours," and describes autumn leaves tours with visits to gardens, temples and shrines. Festival departures are tied to fixed events: the Takayama Festivals in spring and autumn, with their decorated yatai floats; Kyoto's Gion Matsuri, whose main events the site dates to July 17th and July 24th; the Kyoto Aoi Festival every May 15th; Awa Odori; Tohoku's three great summer festivals in Aomori, Akita and Sendai; and the Sapporo Snow Festival and other Hokkaido winter events. Nature tours point to the lavender at Farm Tomita in Furano, wisteria at Ashikaga Flower Park and Kawachi Fuji Garden, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route with its snow corridor, and the snow monkeys of Jigokudani Yaenkoen Park.

Walking and hiking

A separate block covers small-group walking tours. The Kumano Kodo Walking & Hiking Tour is 9 days from Kyoto from US$3395.00, with five hikes of 2-6 hours on the Kumano Ancient Trail. The Nakasendo Trail Walking & Hiking Tour runs 12 days from Tokyo to Kyoto from US$4420.00, and the shorter Nakasendo and Kiso Valley tour 7 days from US$3105.00. A Nakasendo Trail Winter Tour, 8 days from US$2095.00, involves walking or snowshoeing for 1-3 hours on five days. Others cover the Shikoku Pilgrimage Trail (13 days, from US$5175.00), Eastern Hokkaido in summer (9 days, from US$4045.00), Tohoku (12 days, from US$4930.00) and Kyushu (14 days, from US$5160.00), and several use public transportation.

Private journeys, custom groups and booking

Private journeys suit travelers who "can't find a published departure date": the company designs an itinerary for a couple, a family or a few friends and handles the arrangements. Custom group travel covers "special interest groups, religious organizations, leisure groups, students or band performance groups," and the menu adds corporate meetings and incentives, senior groups and pre and post-cruise tours.

Booking follows 3 steps on the homepage: search for a tour, send an inquiry, then "Complete the Reservation Form and make your tour deposit." An inquiry form asks about travel style, interests and whether it is a first trip to Japan. Contact is by phone on 1-909-988-8885, toll free 1-855-325-2726 (USA & CANADA), WhatsApp on 1-909-914-8063, or info@alljapantours.com.

What the site leaves open, and who it suits

The site asks for a deposit at reservation but does not state its amount, the payment schedule or the cancellation and refund terms. Apart from the Signature: Classic Japan cap of 12, it does not give a maximum group size for each departure, and it does not say which meals are included on most tours. The reviews count is the company's own figure.

What it does publish is detailed: dated departures across 2026, 2027 and 2028, a from-price in US dollars on each tour, lengths from a 5-day Beyond Tokyo trip to 27 days, and a clear split between group, walking, private and custom travel. That suits North American travelers, first-timers and repeat visitors alike, who want an escorted trip or a guided walk on the Kumano Kodo or Nakasendo with the logistics handled. Travelers who want to arrange everything themselves will not need it.
