Three Bears Travel’s Japan City Tours are private, tailor-made city experiences designed for travellers who want to explore one destination in depth. Perfect for short holidays, stopovers, or those who prefer a slower pace, our Japan city tours focus on meaningful local moments rather than rushing through multiple destinations.
Each private Japan city tour is created exclusively for your group, with departures confirmed from just 2 travellers. You’ll travel with your own local guide, private vehicle, and a selection of handpicked hotels, giving you the freedom to explore comfortably and stress-free. No large tour groups, no fixed timetables, and no waiting — just smooth, personalised city discovery at your own pace.
Our private Japan City Tours include some of the country’s most iconic destinations, such as Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, and Shirakawa-go. Each itinerary combines must-see highlights with local experiences, flexible pacing, and personalised options based on your interests.
These short Japan tours are thoughtfully designed to deliver maximum value within limited time — ideal for long weekends, city breaks, or travellers adding a city extension to a longer Japan journey. Whether you’re interested in street food adventures, traditional workshops, hidden neighbourhood walks, photography spots, pop culture stops, or family-friendly attractions, we customise each route to match your travel style.
With experienced local teams providing on-the-ground support, your Japan city tour runs smoothly from start to finish. From hotel pick-ups and entrance tickets to flexible daily planning, we take care of every detail — so you can enjoy a rich and memorable Japan city experience without the complexity of complicated transport planning.
