Why you should go: Last month, the moment the world has been waiting for arrived. After 2+ years of border closures & restrictions, Japan has finally lifted its entry ban for American travelers, making now the perfect time to plan a visit to the Far East.

What's the big deal? For $499 per person including flights, hotels and tours, Travelzoo members can experience China & Japan over eight nights on select dates into 2024. Our deal experts love that this deal includes more nights in Japan versus China, providing ample time to explore many of the country's highlights.

This trip starts in China, where you'll spend three nights discovering Beijing, including a hike along the Great Wall. Then, in Japan, you’ll travel between Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo for a total of five nights, with visits to the Osaka Castle Garden, Nara Deer Park and many other sites. Roundtrip international flights to and from the U.S., flights and ground transportation between cities in China and Japan plus sightseeing tours with an English-speaking guide are all included.

At this price, departures are from Los Angeles or New York on select February and November dates in 2023 or 2024. Surrounding dates and flights from 26 other U.S. cities are also available. UTOvacation’s trip assurance (reg. $99 per person) is also included, allowing you to make changes for your tour up to 150 days prior to your scheduled departure. You can also customize your trip with extra nights, tours, upgrades and more.

As a reminder, UTOvacation works with local partners and tourism associations throughout Asia to help cover costs. These immense savings are passed along to Travelzoo members, and that’s how they’re able to offer a price this low. We've researched this against similar tours and you'll save up to $1470.

Travelzoo tip: The first 500 bookings can purchase trip extension packages that add Shanghai or more time in Tokyo for $99. These upgrades normally cost as much as $699.
