Due to the time difference and crossing the International Date Line, you’ll land in Japan on Monday, even though you left on Sunday.

This day is about:

• Landing

• Getting settled

• Light orientation and rest

We intentionally keep this day low-pressure so your body can adjust.

This is when the experience really starts.

By this point:

• You’ve had a night of sleep in Japan

• Jet lag has eased a bit

• You’re fully present for education, exploration, and group experiences

This is why the trip is designed as 8 days / 7 nights—it ensures you actually have meaningful, grounded time in Japan, not just traveling to and from it.

These are your core days in Japan, including:

• Education

• Cultural experiences

• Exploration

• Free time built in intentionally

This is where the magic happens.

When heading home, you’ll likely cross the International Date Line again, which means:

• You may leave Japan and arrive back home on the same calendar day

• Travel can feel long, but the date doesn’t “jump forward” this time

Totally normal—just one of those quirks of international travel.
