InsideJapan has launched its largest-ever small-group tour programme for 2026, including additional shoulder season and off-peak options. Simon King, co-founder of

For agents, this is the perfect time to capitalise on traveller interest.” Richard Farmer, group tour
programme operations manager, said expansion was driven by “exceptional” 2025 sales. He added: “As part of our
‘under-tourism’ strategy, we decided to reduce off-peak costs. “With our 7% shoulder and
15% off-peak reduced pricing now in place, there’s a real opportunity for agents to present an affordable alternative to peak- season travel. A July departure on Classic Japan is priced over £800 lower than October.” Classic Japan costs from £5,045 for 13 nights.

Pompeii, Amalfi & Capri tour costs from £2,595. It includes flights from Heathrow and has departures
on selected dates from April through to October. Heart of Puglia: Alberobello & Ostuni costs from £1,925 for seven nights, including Gatwick flights. The seven-night Tuscany: Vineyards, Villages &

accommodation and a seven-night cruise on HX Hurtigruten Expeditions’ Spitsbergen, with excursions.
