The Story in Brief
IRCTC has announced a 9-night, 10-day Japan tour from Delhi starting September 6, 2026. The package covers Tokyo, Hakone, Hamamatsu, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hiroshima, including a Shinkansen bullet train ride, a visit to Mount Fuji's Fifth Station (weather permitting), the Hakone Ropeway and a pirate ship cruise. Priced from Rs 3,45,999 per person for triple sharing, the package includes return economy airfare, four-star hotel accommodation, breakfast, lunch and dinner, an English-speaking guide, Japan tourist visa fees and travel insurance for those under 70. Single occupancy costs Rs 4,73,999, and children aged 5-11 pay Rs 2,92,499 with a bed. Travellers from Hyderabad must arrange their own transport to Delhi.
The Indian Opinion
The price tag of Rs 3.45 lakh for a 10-day trip to Japan may seem steep for many Indians. But Japan is one of the world's costliest destinations, and this package bundles international airfare, four-star hotels, all meals, a guide, visa fees and insurance. Critics claiming IRCTC is overcharging overlook the convenience for first-time travellers who would otherwise spend more piecing together a DIY trip. The real test is how quickly the September 2026 batch fills up. That will reveal true demand.
