The Best Japan Private Shore Excursions in 2024 & 2025

Japanese tour professionals and Western destination architects who live in Japan create our Japan shore excursions.  Embedded in our excellent shore excursions, we provide a Western perspective on Japan's best attractions and provide a unique insight into the country.  With our Japan adventure, you are guaranteed to get the most authentic taste of Japan, from the beauty of cherry blossoms to genuine food.

• We know where to show you the most flowers.  In our experience, cruise ships' shore excursions fail to show you where you'll see cherry blossoms or autumn leaves at their best. As much as possible,  we hand-picked the most popular viewing spots to ensure you'll be able to experience the highlights within a few hours. 
• Our private shore excursions can be cheaper than the cruise lines. Cruise lines outsource tours to travel agencies, and they make a substantial profit from the offers. You will never know who's behind the scene and what a fair price you should pay.
• Our local private guides enhance your Japan experience. Our private excursions are led by vetted, knowledgeable English-speaking drivers or guides who can find hidden gems and immerse you in truly authentic experiences, away from the crowds.
• We can personalize your experiences, planned from the beginning to the end.  Our Japanese experts tailor all shore excursions to suit your tastes while in port.  They will pair their local insights with your interests and create your ideal trip, even while travelling you can adjust your itinerary. In some places, we own unique access to unique local cultural experiences ashore. 
• Our tour is flexible for you to do what you want, when you want. You are always free to adjust your trip, even while in destination, based on your individual needs and preferred pace of travel.  You won't be forced to move all the time as you are on a group tour. We will work at your pace.   
• Peace of mind for you. Our drivers will return you to your port at least 1.5 hours prior to your departure. 
• FREE private shore excursions. YES! If you book a qualifying cruise with us or transfer your existing reservation to us, you will receive our enhanced excursions for free. 

"I'm so proud we chose Japan Adventure Club for a smart excursion to see Mt. Fuji in Shimizu. It was really cool to be taken to Mihono Matsubara beach, a less-known spot where you can get Mt. Fuji to yourself. I got a clear look at Mt. Fuji with her white crown of snow from the heavenly beauty of Shizuoka's natural coast - sea, sand, and sky. " - Jeff K., Texas, USA
