Highlights of Japan

Japan rewards the traveler who pays attention, and eight days split between Tokyo and Chiba gives your group just enough time to feel the city's contradictions — ancient temples hemmed in by neon-lit streetscapes, world-class ramen stalls beside department-store food halls, Shinto rituals observed a short walk from the world's busiest rail hub. This tour doesn't try to cover all of Japan; it plants your group firmly in the Kanto region and lets depth do what a checklist itinerary never can.

What teachers say

Verified by teachers — two ways.

On the left, the public Trustpilot reviews any group leader can write — and any future group leader can read. On the right, quotes from the private post-tour evaluation that every group leader fills out after their trip ends. See all teacher evaluations.

Reviews on Trustpilot are public and verified. Trustpilot prohibits companies from paying to have them removed — so what teachers say here is exactly what teachers said about traveling with Passports.

Overall

“We had a FANTASTIC experience with Passports this year! From the beginning, in the planning stages, the difference between Passports and EF was clear, and that difference bore out over the course of the trip. We are so thankful we found you guys and really felt that the whole experience was better than what we've had with EF.”
