What does semi-self-service mean in Japan?

Japanese semi-self-guided travel means that tourists can independently choose part of the itinerary and accommodation arrangements during the trip, while the other part is arranged by the travel agency. The advantage of this type of travel is that tourists have a higher degree of freedom and can flexibly arrange their time and itinerary according to their own preferences without having to worry about transportation and accommodation issues.

In semi-self-guided travel in Japan, tourists can choose their favorite attractions and activities, or find restaurants and accommodation on their own, so that they can better experience Japanese culture and life. Usually, travel agencies provide necessary local information and travel suggestions to facilitate tourists to have a better experience, and can also provide relevant discounts or offers.

However, there are also some shortcomings in semi-self-guided travel in Japan. For example, the journey may be relatively tight, and you need to patiently study the routes and attractions, and you also need to deal with possible problems by yourself. Therefore, if you have relatively good Japanese travel experience and English communication skills, then semi-self-guided travel may be a good choice.
