Are you going with a small group or a big group?
作者: tequila    時間: 2009-10-15 22:41

have you consider going back to hk and join a tour group there ?

Self - Tour is more fun..
But you will need to do some researches before leaving..

Japan is so easy to manage for first time traveller..
作者: qqmaro    時間: 2009-10-16 10:05

I agree Japan is easy to manage.
Let us know how many people in your group, and age range?
It is more of a eating trip? shopping trip? sight seeing trip? how many days?

What do you want to see? what to eat? Places you want to visit, hot spring? theme park ?

May be we can give you some suggestion?
作者: tapioca    時間: 2009-10-16 10:26

Thanks for the input! We plan to stop by Japan on the way to Hong Kong, so 日本順道遊 (about 1 week) is what I am thinking of doing as there are senior people as well. Probably mainly for sightseeing. 本洲 seems more popular for first time traveller?

FREE WALK TOUR la...

So much better!

Unless this is the first time u go Japan, dont join tour la...

Honestly I would suggest you to join tour if you are going with senior people, I guess  the most concern for them is transportation. Self tour is no fun if your tour members do not enjoy what you plan, and senior people don't care how special the tour is and how good to meals are, they rather sit back and relax in the bus instead to be squeezed in train like sardines. The tour here doesn't have much varieties silkway is the most popular one. If you are able to join a hk tour my friend said egl is great. Self tour next time when the seniors are not tagging along la!

Hope it helps. 10 more days and I will be in japan for 3 weeks yay!

yeah i agree. my mom didn't enjoy the 2 days trips that I took her to. She didn't like it that I have to look for the right exit nor to ask direction some times... She found that uncomfortable.
作者: qqmaro    時間: 2009-10-16 12:45

If you are traveling around 本洲 and with senior, then I would suggest you join a tour.
Rushing on and off train to different cities with senior, just not a good idea

I don't think senior would mind sitting around, relaxing around the park, while the young ones go crazy running around in the theme park.

Catpiano 發表於 2009-10-16 11:37

free walk to elderly is not funny at all... we young people would walk a lot (shopping ma, haha...) but they would be tired very easily... everyone has to stop and wait for them, less fun for both sides... I would say for their situation joining a tour is the best.

in Canada of course ok la... but in Japan they cannot speak and don't know the places, they will get bored... especially Japan doesn't have a lot of parks everywhere, shops are everywhere but I don't think it would attract seniors....
作者: salad_bread    時間: 2009-10-16 13:52

I never joined tour from Canada or Hong Kong
Limosine bus right in front of the NRT airport and direct to your hotel
join the Hato bus local tours after arrived Tokyo or just go visit the JTB, 東武Tours or whatever
Went to 日光 last time joining 東武Tours using my friends coupon saved 2000 yen for each ppl
joined the Hato bus for Full day Tokyo, Half Day Tokyo (accompany with my friend)

If you don't know Japanese, you'd better join the tour with Chinese/English Travel Guide

So I think she means those tours (Hato bus local tours) are Japanese only.

Hato bus has Chinese and English Travel guide, but you need to book and pay ahead.
Google "Hato Bus"

I don't like the push to buy stuff fr. guides, However, i love tours for the reason they introduce the history, culture, etc much makes things more interesting and the appreciation becomes greater!

When I went to Japan for the first time, we booked tour and tickets to Japan on the way to HK fr. Vancouver. The tour was in Cantonese. We got basic glimps of the country and didn't have to worry about getting lost, etc.

there are a variety of tours though. I always go for the most deleux pkg (better food and less rushed type). Also good for elderly to join tours, if they are tired, they can stay and rest in the bus if don't feel like walking/shopping.

We will be going to Japan again in January, this time on our own. It was good to get a basic idea through the 1st tour.
((( again, don't get sucked in to buy whatever the guides tell you to!! )))

我參加那個團完全無 SELLING PRESSURE 架﹐有興趣 PM 我喇﹐我唔想幫人賣廣告咋

Never asked to buy anything during the Japan Local Tour
作者: khaki    時間: 2009-10-16 17:20

呢邊跟團好處係由頭帶到你落尾囉。有老人家我就覺得方便少麻煩係最重要，Ｄ老人家其實幾鐘意聽導遊吹水架麻唔係咩？lol 我有聽過signature tour幾好呀。不過我未跟過團架其實

I won't join tour~ coz me and my hubby are lazy type..we dun want to be rush and want a relax vacation..and the places we like are toys/ decorations/ game stores....love to go to SEGA more than historic museum hahaa~ love to go to aquarium more than going to park/ brand name stores..so tour won't fit us~ haha and both me and my hubby can understand and read some Japanese so we can walk around and play around by ourselves no need to pay tour fees or waiting other tourists~
I am planning a trip to Japan next yr too.. but of coz need to make sure budget is enough sin la.... already helped my frd to plan for her Kansai trip for this Oct~~ lol while I am searching and planning for mine~~ planning is so exciting!! XD

I agree that it's easy to manage in Tokyo area..
作者: 布小熊    時間: 2009-10-16 17:50

... I personally hate to 跟團. But with parents, it's a very different story.
I rather do my own research and read about places before I do my own self guided tours.
Cos I hate to hear guide's blowing water and I can't get up at 6 a.m. everyday  LOL.

但係﹐我又試過同老公兩個人去關西自遊行﹐結果他要計劃晒每天行程﹐甘咪變左壓力仲大過跟團﹖ 不過我地都係日日訓到十點先起身吃早餐
