Group Tours


Group Tours

Join a group tour and experience Japan with other like-minded fans! During group tours you will have the assistance of PJT guides to help you explore the city and cater to your every need. Itineraries for these tours are pre-arranged, but our friendly staff is always willing to accommodate any special requests. Additionally we do our best to make special arrangements with manga artists, anime studios, and designers to make your experience a special event.

Here’s a list of everything you can expect of a group tour:

  • Creative Themed Itinerary – we’ll take care of the planning. ^_^ Relax and enjoy a unique mix of both pop cultural and historical Japan!
  • Bilingual Guides – consider the language barrier broken!
  • Hotel Accommodations – recharge for the next day at a 3-4 star hotel.
  • Transportation to/from all tour activities – bus, train, subway, taxi, shinkansen – we got it covered.
  • Entrance fees to tour events - we’ll take the tab for your tickets to museums, shrines/temples, and conventions on the tour.
  • Customized Guidebook – this PJT creation includes maps, pop culture locations, Japanese phrases, and other useful (and fun =D) information, made specifically for each tour!
  • Additional Options and/or Tour Extension (at an additional cost) – for those who’d like to take their tour to the next level!
