An All-Inclusive Japanese Adventure
Japan's unique blend of ancient tradition and futuristic technology makes it a top destination for travellers worldwide. To cater to growing interest from India, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has introduced a comprehensive
10-day, 9-night escorted tour. Departing from Delhi on September 6, 2026, the package is designed to provide a hassle-free experience by managing all major logistics, from flights and visas to daily itineraries, allowing travellers to immerse themselves in the experience without the stress of planning every detail.
A Journey Through Japan's Highlights
The carefully curated itinerary covers some of Japan's most iconic cities and landmarks. The tour begins in Tokyo, where travellers will explore sights like the historic Asakusa Temple, the bustling Nakamise Shopping Street, and the immersive digital art museum TeamLab Planets. The journey continues to the scenic Hakone region for breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, a cruise on Lake Ashi, and a ride on the Hakone Ropeway. The tour also includes a ride on the famous Shinkansen bullet train and visits to the cultural heart of Kyoto, the vibrant city of Osaka, the serene deer park in Nara, and the historic city of Hiroshima.
Understanding the Package and Cost
The tour package is priced to cover nearly every aspect of the trip. Prices start at ₹3,45,999 per person for triple-sharing accommodation. For those preferring more space, the twin-sharing option is priced at ₹3,49,999, and single occupancy is available for ₹4,73,999. There are also specific prices for children traveling with their families. The package includes return economy-class airfare on All Nippon Airways (ANA), accommodation in four-star hotels, all daily meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and Japan tourist visa processing fees.
What's Included and What's Not
Beyond flights and hotels, the package includes several key services to ensure a smooth journey. All airport transfers and sightseeing will be done in air-conditioned coaches. An English-speaking tour guide will accompany the group throughout the trip, and travel insurance is included for passengers up to the age of 70. Travellers should note that while the package is extensive, it does not cover personal expenses like laundry, drinks, or tips. Additionally, costs for any activities or meals not specified in the detailed itinerary will need to be paid for separately.
How to Book Your Trip
Booking this Japanese adventure is straightforward. Interested travellers can find the package listed on the official IRCTC Tourism website. On the site, you can navigate to the 'International Packages' section and select the Japan tour to view the full itinerary, terms, and conditions. It is essential to ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of your return to India. Travellers will also need to submit necessary documents for the visa application process, which IRCTC will facilitate. Given the limited seats and specific departure date, booking well in advance is highly recommended.
