Railbookers offers $500 off Japan rail vacations through Aug. 15

Railbookers is offering savings on its locally hosted Japan rail vacations as travellers begin planning trips for the country’s spring cherry blossom season.

Through Aug. 15, travellers can save $500 per couple on all 2027 and 2028 Japan rail vacations.

Railbookers is encouraging travellers to book early, noting that spring is one of Japan’s busiest travel periods.

"Japan has become one of the world's most desirable destinations, but it's also a place that many travelers find intimidating to plan," said Andrew Channell, senior vice-president of product at Railbookers. 

"Our locally hosted vacations remove those barriers by combining the independence travellers want with the local expertise and support that gives them confidence from the moment they arrive. It's the perfect way to experience Japan while leaving the logistics to us."

Railbookers offers itineraries across Japan, including trips along the Golden Route through Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka as well as journeys featuring Hiroshima and Hakone.

The locally hosted vacations are designed for independent travel, with private English-speaking guides available to help guests navigate train stations and cities, provide information about sightseeing and suggest places to eat, shop and visit. 

Guides can also adjust each day’s itinerary based on guests’ interests.

Itineraries include accommodations, travel aboard Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains and sightseeing activities.
