Check out our Q&As

I'm arriving late on day 1, will this be a problem?

Arriving late is not a problem at all, but you will miss the welcome dinner and night walk at Senso-ji Temple. Given this tour is just four days, we advise you to be in Tokyo earlier on Day 1.
Can I book a single upgrade on this tour?

We are unfortunately not able to offer a single supplement for our Tokyo Snapshot tour, simply because it’s extremely difficult to find a single room. Almost every room is a twin so it would essentially mean the guest would need to cover the cost of two people to be able to have a room to themselves. However, we will absolutely try and put you with another solo traveler.
What fitness level is required to join this tour?

This tour requires a reasonable level of fitness due to the amount of walking involved. There will be some days where you will be walking more than 20,000 steps so please bring appropriate footwear.
What is the age range of this tour?

We have an age range of 18–45 years old for our tours, though most of our guests are aged between 21-35 years old. This range varies to slightly older with certain destinations, and those who are looking to experience our adventurous “flashpacking” style of travel. Our tours are perfect for people of all different backgrounds to share travel experiences with like-minded conscious fellow travellers.
How much free time will I have?

While there is free time allocated during our time in Tokyo to explore each area a little further, there isn't enough free time for bigger activities unless you miss some of the inclusions. We suggest saving anything additional you want to do in Tokyo until after your Snapshot tour.

I've already done a One Life Japan tour, should I book the Tokyo Snapshot?

We don't advise repeat guests to book this tour. It is essentially the first four days of our other Japan tours and visits the same locations. Why not check out one of our other destinations like South Korea or Vietnam?
How does the Snapshot Tour relate to your longer tours?

Our Tokyo Snapshot Tour is a 4-day itinerary that captures the essence of Tokyo. It is designed as the introductory segment of both our 10-day and 14-day Japan tours. This means that during the Tokyo Snapshot Tour, you'll explore alongside guests who may be continuing on to other destinations in Japan after your tour ends. The modular structure allows for a seamless and cohesive travel experience, whether you're with us for just 4 days or the entire journey.
We are travelling together, can we upgrade to have a private room?

Yes, we will be staying in Twin rooms. Please let our team know who you're travelling with after you've booked, if you've booked separately.
Can I bring a suitcase on this trip & is there a luggage limit?

Yes you can. You will be staying at the same accommodation for the entirety of this tour so you're able to have whatever luggage type you'd like.
How big are your group sizes?

Our groups are capped at 22 people maximum.
Do I have to have travel insurance to come on a tour?

Travel insurance on all One Life Adventures trips is compulsory and we will check for it on tour, if you do not have travel insurance when you arrive on your tour you will not be able to continue without purchasing it.
What's the general age range on your tours?

We have an age range of 18 – 45 years of age. Most of our guests are aged between 21-35 years old are looking to experience our adventurous “flashpacking” style of travel. Our tours are perfect for people of different backgrounds to share travel experiences with like-minded fellow travellers.
Do you operate a “single share” option and how does it work?

Yes, we do. We cannot guarantee single sex rooming arrangements in multi-share accommodation (e.g. shared dormitory hostels), but twin share rooms will always be single sex.

This was my first time with One Life and it was amazing.

01-May-2024

This was my first time with One Life and it was amazing. There was a lot of variety from snorkelling on Gili T to exploring the forest and seeing the monkeys on Ubud. The authenticity of Ubud was beautiful! Overall you get to see what Bali has to offer on those 12 days and it was worth it!
