Our time so far in the Land of The Rising Sun…
A trip of a lifetime
Japan is a country like no other. In the morning you could be sitting in a hot spring on the mountain, and a short train ride later you could be staring at the bright lights of Tokyo city. There is something for everyone in this playground of nature and technology. Whilst you follow the journey of your supporting nation through Japan, you will be shown the most fantastic and inspiring parts of this volcanic beauty.
This incredible tournament will see the best international rugby teams compete on the world’s stage. Among those participating include South Africa, England, Wales, Australia, and New Zealand, to name a few. Combine this action with the unique setting of Japan, and you have the makings of a truly spectacular trip.
Co-ordinators have organised a well thought out schedule across three of Japan’s four main islands. Games will span the beautiful islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, and Kyushu. As a result, local supporters will be able to view games within two hours of their accommodation whilst travelling supporters will gain access to the most beautiful areas of this fascinating country.
Please note that MSG Tours Ltd is not an official Rugby World Cup Official Agent and thus no tickets are included in our tours. Instead, our affordable guided tours will focus on showing you the very best of Japan’s hosting cities, taking you up close and personal to the action.
Venues and hosting cities
A total of 12 different venues throughout Japan will host the tournament fixtures. When it comes to travelling between Japan’s hosting cities, we can’t imagine a more fitting way to get around than via ‘Shinkansen’. Japan Rail gives touring supporters the chance to visit locations at record-breaking speeds on their bullet trains (Shinkansen). This impressive transport system is famous for its efficiency, avoiding the hustle and bustle associated with most worldwide stations.
What to do in Japan?
In between matches we recommend the following landmarks and activities:
- Travel on board the Shinkansen (bullet train)
- Sushi making classes
- Learn the ancient Taiko drumming techniques in historical Kyoto
- Experience breathtaking views of Mount Fuji
- Take a trip to Tokyo’s Skytree Tower
- Sample Tokyo’s great street food
- Take in the bright lights of the Tokyo harbour on a dinner cruise
- Watch a traditional Sumo wrestling practice session
- Bar hop in Golden Gai (a network of 6 narrow alleys, jam-packed with over 200 miniature bars, that seat between 8-12 people)
- Discover the unique Tsukiji Fish Market
