Is it better to travel independently or with a guided tour?
In large cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Kyoto, it is not hard to travel independently. However, if you plan to explore the less urban side of the country, traveling can be difficult as transportation in some places is not as well developed. Also, you would need research on hotels, places to visit, and restaurants. If you want travel at ease, we strongly recommend joining a guided tour instead with a thoughtfully planed itinerary.
