Group tours<br />
We offer a comprehensive programme of<br />
guided small group tours, typically no more than<br />
16 travellers. Not only does this make for a<br />
much more sociable group but it also enables<br />
us to use smaller and more characterful<br />
accommodation and venture away from the<br />
large tour groups. We offer regular tours to<br />
Japan which have become very popular and are<br />
an alternative to a tailor-made itinerary.<br />

We can also arrange private tours, whether this<br />
is for a group of friends, those with a special<br />
interest or a fundraising trip for charity. For larger<br />
groups we may be able to offer discounts or a<br />
free place to the organiser. See our website or<br />
call us to discuss your plans.<br />
Honeymoons<br />
Honeymoons to Japan are increasingly popular,<br />
especially for couples looking to combine culture<br />
and relaxation. Although quite an active<br />
destination to visit, Japan’s wealth of luxury and<br />
traditional accommodation, private hot spring<br />
bathing, quiet beach resorts, wonderful cuisine<br />
and privately guided excursions all make for the<br />
perfect honeymoon destination.<br />
Responsible travel<br />
We’re passionate about travel but also deeply<br />
aware of the responsibility we have to the people<br />
and places we visit. We believe that a visit from<br />
an <strong>Audley</strong> traveller should have a positive impact<br />
on the destination and, wherever possible, bring<br />
real benefits. We always endeavour to use<br />
locally owned hotels, work with local guides<br />
and operators, and promote community and<br />
wildlife projects. Our <strong>Travel</strong>ler’s Code offers tips<br />
and advice you can use to ensure your trip does<br />
not threaten the sustainability of the places you<br />
visit. We carbon offset all our staff flights and<br />
you can choose to do the same, please speak<br />
to your specialist about this or follow the link<br />
on our website www.audleytravel.com/offset.<br />
Our commitment to responsible travel has been<br />
audited by AITO (Association of Independent<br />
Tour Operators) and we have been awarded<br />
five stars, the maximum achievable. We also<br />
support a variety of social and environmental<br />
charities and projects around the world.<br />
For more information about travelling responsibly<br />
and the charities and projects we support please<br />

Flights<br />
A number of airlines fly directly to Japan from<br />
London Heathrow. We choose from these<br />
airlines based on current airfares and taxes,<br />
your preference for travel and your itinerary.<br />
Connecting flights from regional UK airports can<br />
also be arranged. There are also several airlines<br />
which fly indirectly to both Tokyo Narita and<br />
Kansai (near to Osaka) international airports and<br />
one of these may be the more convenient option<br />
for your travels.<br />
