Services in Japan
What we arrange for your time in Japan.
Asahi VietLife is a company based in Japan. We arrange the services a trip needs inside Japan, for travellers and for travel companies.
What we can arrange
Private transport and transfers
Vehicles with a driver for your route, and pick-up and drop-off between airports, stations and hotels in Japan.
The vehicle depends on your group and luggage, and is confirmed for your dates.
Local guides
Guides for the days and places you choose.
Guide availability and language options are confirmed for your travel dates.
Hotels and ryokan
Places to stay that suit your route and the way you like to travel.
Room availability is confirmed for your travel dates.
Experiences and visits
Cultural experiences and visits that fit your plan, arranged with local providers.
Each provider has its own conditions. We explain them before you decide.
A day-by-day plan
A plan shaped with you: places, pace, travel times and the season.
Agreeing to a plan does not reserve anything: each service is confirmed with its provider first.
Coordination while you travel
A team that knows your plan and keeps in touch with the providers during your trip.
How and when to reach us is agreed for each trip.
Vehicles and stays
How your group travels, and where it rests.
The vehicle and the kind of stay are chosen for the size of your group, the luggage and the pace of the journey. The vehicles and hotels for your trip are named in the quotation.
Vehicles, by group size

A high-roof van such as the Toyota HiAce Grand Cabin, which has 10 seats in total, including the driver’s. How many travellers it suits depends on whether a guide rides along and on the luggage.

A small bus such as the Toyota Coaster, with 25 or 29 seats in total including the driver’s, depending on the version and its equipment.
Illustration of the vehicle type, not a vehicle confirmed for your tour. Coach for larger groups
A full-size coach with a luggage hold under the floor. The number of seats depends on the vehicle the transport company provides.
Stays

Depending on the itinerary and your budget, Asahi suggests hotels in the 3–4-star reference range, or a ryokan if you prefer. Japan has no single nationwide star rating, so the grade is a guide; the hotel name, room type and conditions are confirmed in the quotation.
Illustration of the type of stay, not a hotel confirmed for your tour. Ryokan
A traditional Japanese inn with tatami rooms and futon bedding; depending on the inn and the plan booked, dinner, breakfast or a hot-spring bath may be part of the stay. The inn, meals and facilities are confirmed in the quotation.
