TIER 1: BOUJEE ON A BUDGET

Tokyo: City Experience

8 days, 1 city

On our most cost-effective Japan trip, you’ll find yourself totally immersed in Tokyo—the biggest city in the world. Shop your way through Harajuku, bop your way through the crowds of Shibuya, and pop bite after bite of the best sushi on Earth as you explore Tokyo’s modern side. Then, visit ancient and sacred sites like the Sensoji Temple and Meiji Shrine. Oh, and Mt. Fuji? Yeah, you’ll see that too. And believe us when we say that Japan’s highest peak is an absolute stunner. This is an introduction to Japan, a deep dive into Tokyo, and an experience unlike any other—all for a price that meets your needs.

TIER 2: MORE TO EXPLORE

Japan: Tokyo & Beyond

9 days, 4 cities

If you want to know the top three must-see destinations in Japan, look no further than this trip. It all starts in Tokyo—and when you get there you’ll understand why. The home to more people than anywhere else, more Michelin Star restaurants than anywhere else, and more “is this real life?” moments than anywhere else, Tokyo is the perfect introduction to the Japanese way of life. Then it’s off to Kyoto and Osaka, two cities that blend the pace and style of the modern-day with the beauty and serenity of way back when. Simply put, this is bucket-list Japan at a budget-friendly price.

Japan & South Korea Getaway

From Tokyo to Gyeongju to Seoul, this trip’s for the person looking to rewrite their bucket list in one fell swoop. On this trip, you’ll explore palaces and temples, slurp all of the noodles, and soak up the city streets painted in neon. On a trip to Japan and South Korea, you’ll discover exactly why these two cultures are trending worldwide, and why their pasts are just as compelling as the present. And when you head to the Far East with EF Ultimate Break, we include everything—it’s our way of making sure the memories are big, and the cost is anything but.
