Flights, Transport, and Accommodation
The package price includes return economy-class airfare on All Nippon Airways (ANA), flying from Delhi to Tokyo's Haneda Airport. However, IRCTC notes that flight schedules are indicative and subject to change based on airline operations. Once in Japan, all sightseeing and inter-city travel (apart from the bullet train) will be conducted in air-conditioned coaches. A key highlight is the inclusion of a ride on the famous Shinkansen bullet train from Shin-Osaka to Hiroshima. Accommodation is arranged in well-regarded four-star hotels throughout the trip.
A Packed Sightseeing Schedule
The tour is packed with visits to iconic landmarks. In Tokyo, the itinerary includes Asakusa Temple, Nakamise Shopping Street, Ueno Park, and the immersive digital art museum TeamLab Planets. The tour also features a trip to Mount Fuji's 5th Station, though this is dependent on weather conditions. Other major experiences include a cruise on Lake Ashi via the Hakone Pirate Ship, a ride on the Hakone Ropeway, and a visit to the Owakudani Valley. The cultural and historical leg of the journey covers Kyoto’s famous Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Kinkaku-ji Temple, Nara's Deer Park, and the poignant Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima Island.
What the ₹3.45 Lakh Price Includes
The headline price of ₹3,45,999 is per person for a triple-sharing accommodation setup. This cost is largely all-inclusive, bundling major travel expenses into one payment. The package covers return airfare, four-star hotel stays, and all daily meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), with Indian cuisine available. It also includes Japan tourist visa charges, travel insurance for passengers under 70, all airport transfers, and entrance fees for the monuments and sights mentioned in the itinerary. An English-speaking tour guide will accompany the group throughout the journey.
Understanding the Different Price Tiers
While the triple-sharing option is the lead-in price, IRCTC offers other configurations. The twin-sharing package is priced slightly higher at ₹3,49,999 per person. For those preferring their own space, the single-occupancy package costs ₹4,73,999. There are also options for families travelling with children. A child between 5-11 years with an extra bed costs ₹2,92,499, while the price for a child in the same age group without an extra bed is ₹2,63,999.
What Is Not Included in the Package
While the package is comprehensive, travellers should budget for some additional costs. The price does not cover any expenses of a personal nature, such as laundry services, telephone calls, or shopping. It also excludes the cost of any optional tours or activities that are not explicitly mentioned in the official itinerary. Tips for guides, drivers, and other service staff are also not part of the package cost. Any meals or beverages consumed outside of the provided daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be at the traveller's own expense. It is always advisable to clarify these details directly with IRCTC before booking.
