Japan Private Tours
At Epic Travel Tours, discover Japan in a new light with our Luxury Experiential Japan Private Tours, where luxury transcends material indulgences and focuses on authentic, immersive experiences. In response to Japan’s overtourism, our curated itineraries avoid crowded spots, taking you to hidden gems based on your interests for a more intimate exploration.
Our bespoke travel planning sets us apart. Every itinerary is crafted from scratch by our team, without involving third-party Destination Management Consultants (DMC). This ensures that each journey is enriched with our firsthand knowledge and insider tips.
Creating a memorable holiday is a laborious affair. From choosing the destinations to visit, to the activities to experience, and researching the accommodations, it is a daunting task that requires much time and effort.
Epic Travel Tours bridges the gap between the client’s expectations and reality. It is invaluable to have someone who has firsthand experience in your team. Someone who has visited Japan multiple times, stayed in the accommodations, partake in the activities, met and interviewed the local partners. That is the expertise we bring in every vacation planning in Japan.
Of course, if you prefer to stress it out and organise everything on your own, our services are not for you. However, if you prefer a specialised Japan Expert Travel Planner to transform your needs and requests into an unforgettable experience in Japan that you will reminisce in year to come, you will feel Epic Travel Tours is the perfect match. Get in touch and see the magic we perform!
GOODBased on 6 reviewsRichard-NS Phua2024-01-26Was super grateful for the great planning. The entire family enjoyed our trip. The prompt response when we met with some issues while overseas was a great help to ease the anxiety. Will be using the service again soon!Pamela Quek2024-01-13Glad to have found Epic Travel Tours to plan for our Taiwan Trip. The itinerary was suitable for both young and old (youngest 7, oldest 70) at a comfortable pace. We enjoyed the experience of strawberry picking, releasing of sky lantern, making of spring onion cake. The kids love especially the Minsu stay which has various activities to keep them entertained and serves a wide spread of breakfast each morning. They also enjoyed the stay at Flying Cow Ranch where they get to interact with the farm animals up close and doing the DIY activities that the farm has. Lastly we are glad to have a reliable and considerate driver throughout the trip.Janice Lim2024-01-08Went on a tour with Epic Travel tours recently everything was smooth sailing. I appreciate Best’s timely response and help with my queries. There was very smooth transition from one activity to another as it was well-organized. Our driver was always punctual, polite and helpful. Best took the time to understand my travel preferences and provided me with an itinerary that was in line with my objectives of the trip. She provided valuable recommendations for the activities too. I also appreciate the flexibility to make adjustments to the itinerary. Overall, it was an enjoyable and stress-free travel experience. I feel confident in having Best plan subsequent trips for my family. Thank you for making our trip memorable!Alex Kwee2023-12-24Agent was efficient and provided itinerary that was attractive and time saving. The accommodation chosen was excellent allowing me to experience a wide range (minsu, hotel, resort) throughout the tour. Some of the minsus was off the beaten path, and would be missed if arranged by tour group and self-arranged. During the tour, the local driver was also excellent and responsive to my needs when I fell ill. Strongly recommended.Adrian Chiang2023-12-18Don't know where to start but Best (our planner) was absolutely the Best! Her responses to our questions and situations during our trip were quick and impeccable (even at odd times). Recommendations of hotel and itinerary based on our family preferences were also nicely taken into consideration and weaved into the master itinerary plan. Hotels although just to sleep each night, were a joy to check in to and was always an exciting surprise at each hotel we used (about 6 in total for this trip), including a cruise "hotel" that saved us travelling time since we travelled while we slept the night away. Her planned itinerary was also very well organised such that everything was "on the way" with details at every pit stop on what you need / recommended to do. Go for nothing, but the BEST (TEO)!
