My son loved visiting Japan! EF tours made his trip a memorable one.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Poorly organized. Lots of wait times, cancellations, and itinerary changes. I would not recommend.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Japan itself was great… however, the rushed schedule made it hard to enjoy and get the full experience.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This tour was too busy. With all the activities that were planned my students barely had free time. I wish this tour had a bit more educational aspects built into the Tokyo side. It felt like all we did was look at temples and shrines but didn't learn how those buildings played into the way Japan evolved. It was like one big shopping trip through Tokyo.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Our tour director, Kentaro, was incredible. The hotels were super clean, comfy, great breakfasts, and both had laundry facilities. My entire group loved have multiple opportunities for dinner on our own with so much free time. 10/10 would recommend!

Safe, exciting trip

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The air was sweet and fresh! I immersed myself in the culture, savored Ramen, traveled by bullet train, visited a traditional Japanese village, and explored both a wind cave and an ice cave that involved squeezing through narrow passages. It was amazing, and I would love to return to Japan again, trying different adventures. So far, my favorite EF Tours trip was last summer (2025) to Costa Rica.

My daughter had an amazing experience traveling to Japan with her school through EF Educational Tours! From start to finish, everything was well organized, and she had the opportunity to learn about a new culture, visit beautiful places, and create memories that will last a lifetime. As a parent, it gave me peace of mind knowing she was part of such a well-planned educational trip. She came home with unforgettable experiences, new friendships, and a greater appreciation for the world around her. Thank you, EF Educational Tours, for providing such a wonderful opportunity. I highly recommend this program to any family looking to give their child an enriching and unforgettable travel experience!

My students had a great time in Japan. My students saw some of the most popular sights in Japan, and it was great having all of the logistics of international travel taken care of by EF.

This was a great overview of Japan where we were able to see the quiet more nature focused areas and then travel to the busy areas around Tokyo.
