CYPRESS, CA — TTC Tour Brands including Trafalgar, Contiki and Luxury Gold, are seeing their Japan itineraries fill up fast in anticipation of Japan’s reopening.

As reported last week, Japan will reopen on Oct. 11, 2022 for visa-free, individual travel.

Melissa DaSilva, President TTC Tour Brands North America, says several departure dates are already sold out as the guided tour companies look towards an influx of travellers flocking to the cultural and historical  landmarks with fewer restrictions.

“Our guests are eager to get back to Japan and we’re thrilled to take them there. We’ve seen a rush to book with several of our itineraries selling quickly for 2022 and 2023,” says DaSilva. “It’s encouraging to see yet another highly sought-after location become accessible to travellers once again.”

Guests hoping to travel to Japan soon can still do so on Luxury Gold’s Majestic Japan this upcoming spring and on Trafalgar’s Splendors of Japan and Contiki’s Japan Unrivalled, Japan in A Week and more in 2023, she added.
