Was Japan with EF Ultimate Break WORTH it? (Which Japan trip is better?) 

Intrepid is all ages fyi.

I didn’t declare it! The snacks I brought back where like small and didn’t. I also put those in my checked bag :) and yay!! So fun!!

A lot of my friends book their own flights! If you can find flights for cheaper and still get there the same days I say go for it! Just get protection with the airline in case anything happens on their end! I always book flights with EF. Cuz I just don’t want the hassle doing it myself. But yeah they’re not like crazy crazy layovers like but usually it’s a multi stop trip. So I say if you find something good book your own!!

yes they did! they helped get our little cards for all the public transportation

@@Yxxyn._ 😊

same.

The bus transports it! There were a few times where we had to take some stuff on a backpack or in a smaller carry-on, because our bigger suitcases were being transported to another city, but it was really super easy and super functional. They are super organized in Japan and nothing ever got lost.I also brought an extra suitcase for souvenirs

@@exelynnn thank you for your response, I appreciate it! A follow up was the transporting of luggage part of the EF package or did you have to pay/set up yourself?

@@nicegmo it’s part of!

He hakone baseball game that our TD set up was at night. Stuff EF sets up that’s on the website itinerary is typically in the mornings/afternoons. Your first day is a travel day and then usually you arrive late and have the welcome dinner or arrive late and have a tour day then the welcome dinner next day. It’s like 1.5 day of travel. I always suggest if you’re going on a long flight to extend the trip or arrive a day early if you’re booking your own flights. They take care of transportation! We got suico cards for all the metros and such. Some people bought a portable wifi from the US to use. I just add an international plan to my phone plan for the time I’m there and it’s not too expensive. And there’s always wifi at the hotels.

Make sure to Google their weather! And see what season it is during that month :) but always bring a light jacket and I wore shorts the entire time while I was there in late April

They are!! There’s transfers scheduled

It was a great time!! You don’t have to be an American to book with EF but they only will book flights from the US so you’d have to fly from the US or book your own flights :) I always use my Visa card and it works majority of the time! But I also take out a few hundred in cash when I’m in the country at the ATM for the best exchange rates :)

@@exelynnn Okay cool thank you so much for your response

@@gracie3363 like I said in the video just make sure you plan your own stuff too :) to get the full experience. I don’t eat seafood so there were sometimes where I wanted to just find some fast food in the smaller cities but nothing too bad. :)

@@smiley00 with the meals that are included you usually choose your options ahead of time. The TD will coordinate with you on this and they also ask if anybody has any allergies before hand to accommodate

I’m use to long hauls by now so it can be rough if someone isn’t accustomed to flying so definitely bring things to entertain you!!

@@exelynnn did you have a lot of layovers?

@@ivorycooper8535 I flew from Utah to Denver and Denver to Tokyo

@@exelynnn that seems pretty good. Length isn't what worries me it's just like the layovers being crazy that worries me

A group trip! It includes everything that I listed though, flights, hotels, transportation, activities, breakfast, some dinners, etc

I was averaging between 10,000-16,000 steps a day! But its doable :)

Pretty nice! :) We did stay at the monastery for a night idk if that changed but it was interesting! The other hotels were regular good ones :) also Japan is the cleanest country I’ve ever been to so everything was clean!!

I’ve seen groups range anywhere from 25-41. In my group there was around 20 of us!

okay thanks! And did you notice it was a lot of solo travelers? I’m nervous to travel by myself

And lastly, how does rooming work do they pair women w/ women? Thank you!:)

@@madisons4349 it’s always mainly solo travelers :)

@@madisons4349 I have an entire video reviewing EF as a whole that answers all these questions :) yes girls and girls unless you request someone
