Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Is there any group trips to visit Japan? 2009/6/15 Los Angeles I've heard that one store in Los Angeles, CA[where I'm living] is offering a trip to Japan, but they already got full. Is there anything similar to that. I'm 17 and my mom wanted to send me there for my break for about a couple days or a week[She's really too busy to come with me] she would prefer something like a group trip or at least someone like a guide to check on me every once in awhile. Any suggestions? I really want to visit Tokyo and Osaka. by Lilly (guest)   2 possible options 2009/6/15 http://www.popjapantravel.com/tours/24/Iron_Chef_Tour_2... it is an iron chef tour, but thier should be some free time to explore tokyo. http://www.intermixi.com/w/?page_id=8 they are doing a tour of tokyo, tokyo game show and possible to extend to kansai, aka osaka, kyoto. not alot of info as of yet it is in september tho. there are a few other tours but i am unfamiliar with them. by eXstnZ rate this post as useful gap adventures 2009/6/19 theres a website im using calles gap adventures which do different types of tours. they're a candadian firm though not japanese by haz (guest) rate this post as useful Jalpak 2009/6/19 I have booked tours with jalpak and been really pleased, they often have sales and special packages, right now they are offering a cosplay tour.

These are great because basically you put your own tour together based on what you want to do - not like those old grandparent tours. They take such good care of you, picking you up, transportation etc... we book ours through our travel agent. I would check with another travel agent if the one you booked didn't have anything open. I think LA has a Japan tourist bureau office since I requested maps from them. by JLJ (guest) rate this post as useful
