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 ...

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.

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

but join tour they usually have theme parks included, seniors don't like it

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.

FREE WALK TOUR la...

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....

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.
