UPDATE REGARDING TOKYO HOTEL
Update as at February 2026. Our Tokyo hotel has advised that unfortunately from November 2026 onward it will no longer be offering breakfast. After much consideration, we have decided to continue using the same hotel due its excellent location and communal meeting space (great for morning briefings and evenings where the group can gather to stitch and chat). We will provide cash to each participant (Y1000 per person per day) so you can purchase your own breakfasts nearby. The itinerary has been updated to reflect this adjustment. In the case of pre-tour accommodation, breakfast will be at own cost. The travel details form has been updated to reflect this.
