What we offer
Explera is a Japan-based destination management company providing end-to-end group tour programs exclusively to travel agents, tour operators and wholesalers. We design, operate and deliver tailor-made cultural and leisure itineraries for groups from 10 to 500 passengers — under your brand, at net B2B rates.
Whether you need a first-time Japan circuit (Tokyo–Hakone–Kyoto–Osaka–Hiroshima), a deep-dive regional program (Tohoku in autumn, Hokkaido in ski season), or a repeatable series departure with fixed routing and pre-contracted pricing, Explera's Japan ground team handles every element from airport arrival to final departure transfer.
Custom-designed programs from 3 to 21 days, built around your clients' market, budget, interests and pace. We draft the first itinerary within 24 hours of receiving your brief.
Tailor-Made Group Itineraries
Repeatable programs with pre-contracted hotel rates, guide allocation and coach pricing — ideal for wholesalers running weekly or fortnightly departures. Stable routing, predictable costs.
Series Departures & Fixed Routing
Explera-contracted English-speaking licensed tour escorts for the full duration of the program, with multilingual support available (Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, French, Spanish).
Fully Escorted Tours
Small group programs (10–20 pax) that deliver a private-travel quality experience at group logistics economics — increasingly the most demanded format from the India and Middle East source markets.
→ FIT-Group Hybrid Programs
Classic Golden Route (Tokyo–Hakone/Fuji–Kyoto–Osaka–Hiroshima), Extended Japan (adding Kanazawa, Nara, Nikko), and Deep Japan (regional extension programs beyond the standard circuit).
Multi-City Japan Circuits
Programs built around the Japan Rail Pass, including Shinkansen seat reservation management, luggage forwarding (takkyubin) coordination, and IC card distribution for independent segments.
Japan Rail Pass & Shinkansen Programs
Ground & Leisure coverage across the whole of Japan.
Whether you're filling a 45-seat coach on a fixed series or crafting a private journey for two, the same local infrastructure works behind both. Pick the model — we build the program.
