Forget buying gifts for extended family members this year, and put those saved pennies toward a 9-day tour of Japan, leaving 21 December 2019.

Right now, you can save $774 on Intrepid Travel’s Japan Express tour, which is now $1,806 per person twin-share (previously $2,580 per person). It would almost be rude not to.

See the highlights reel of this fascinating nature, from sumo wrestling to karaoke to onsens and ryokans. Hop aboard the shinkansen (bullet train) and visit Tokyo, Kyoto and beyond (eating delicious Japanese delights along the way, of course). You’ll have an expert guide, accommodation, transport and activities included.
