Nice warm group, making everyone feel special and at times push us to achieve more. Brought dream experiences like bali swing and the dreaded ATV experience to life. Still can't believe I was able to complete these just because of the pleasant company of entire group. Very comfortable trip and local guide is cherry on the cake.

I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Divas Sojourn on their Rajasthan tour, and I must say it was an incredible experience! The itinerary was thoughtfully curated, covering all the must-visit locations while giving us ample time to immerse ourselves in the vibrant culture and history of Rajasthan. A special mention goes to our tour leader, Sanjeev Jaitly, whose professionalism, knowledge, and warm demeanor added immense value to the trip. He went above and beyond to ensure that every traveler felt comfortable and had a memorable experience. The accommodations, transportation, and local experiences were all top-notch. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a well-organized, hassle-free, and enriching travel experience. Thank you, Sanjeevji and the entire Divas Sojourn team, for an unforgettable Rajasthan adventure! 😊

I had a Wonderful Experience with Divas Sojourn Travel . I am grateful to Pooja Malhotra mam & her Amazing Team. I took the Ooty package. This was my 1st solo tour. Sanjeev Jaitley Sir was our tour guide. He was very well informed, cooperative, friendly & made our trip super Fun. Reema Mam helped me through all the details & paperwork. She has a lot of patience. The Team is Dedicated, Motivated & coordinated. Each fellow traveling lady was from a different part of India, which made the experience great as I gained new friends. Each hotel we stayed at was in some of the most beautiful locations with yummy hot food, clean spacious rooms. My tour was Exquisite. I plan to take many more trips because Diwas Sojourn & their Team were excellent. Our guide, Mr. Sanjeev Jaitley Sir made us all feel safe, secure & relaxed. With the countries they cover, you bet I will be travelling a lot in the coming seasons. The amazing part is they have a trip planned for each month with so many options. The Prices are very reasonable . I am amazed how they can!! Providing all the 5 star luxuries, a comfortable luxury bus & all other facilities. Going on my own would have cost me easily double, with all other hassles. Thankyou Dear Diwas Sojourn Team🌹 Thankyou Pooja Malhotra mam. 🌹 Wishing you All The Best in the New Year.🎊🎉 Dr Vandana Tiwari

The most fantastic trip to Dubai with Divas Sojourn. Thanks to Pooja, Sanjiv and Reema for this memorable experience. The itinerary was meticulously planned to include all major tourist hubs and also few places which is unique and cannot be seen with other travel agencies. My only feedback will be to plan trip preferably with people of same age group and ask for room preferences before booking. Highly recommended!

There is something special about planning your first trip to Japan.


You may have saved photographs of Tokyo for years. You may have imagined standing in front of Mount Fuji, walking through Kyoto’s traditional streets, seeing the Shinkansen speed past, visiting Tokyo Disneyland, or experiencing the bright lights of Osaka.

But excitement is usually followed by questions.

Is Japan difficult for a first-time traveller?

Is Japan safe for women?

Can I travel alone if nobody from my family or friend circle is available?

Will I manage the trains?

What about the language?

What should I pack?

How much will Japan cost?

And perhaps the biggest question:

Can I travel to Japan without having to plan every single detail myself?

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, these questions are completely normal.

A professionally organised women-only group trip can make that first international experience much easier because you still take the important step of travelling independently, but you do not have to independently manage every hotel, transfer, sightseeing arrangement, and intercity journey.

Divas Sojourn’s currently published Japan women-only departure is an 8-night/9-day journey from 24 December 2026 to 1 January 2027, covering Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Nara, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe. The published starting price is ₹3,60,000 per person, with an early-bird price of ₹3,50,000 for the first five bookings, based on flights from Delhi.

This guide is for first time women traveling to Japan from India who want to understand exactly what the journey will involve before they say, “Yes, I am going to Japan.”

What Does First Time Women Traveling to Japan from India Actually Mean?

There is an important difference between travelling alone and booking a trip alone.

You can book your own place on a women-only group tour without having a companion from home.

You may arrive not knowing anyone.

But once the journey begins, you are travelling alongside other women, with an organised itinerary, planned transportation and a tour leader.

That is the concept behind a women-only Japan trip with Divas Sojourn. The current package is designed around women travelling together while the major travel logistics are organised in advance.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, that balance can be extremely appealing.

You get the confidence of saying:

“I decided to travel.”

Without having to say:

“I had to plan every train, transfer, and sightseeing ticket myself.”

Why Japan Is a Wonderful First International Destination for Women

Japan combines several very different experiences in one country.

You can spend one morning surrounded by Tokyo’s futuristic cityscape and another day looking at Mount Fuji.

You can go from centuries-old temples in Kyoto to the neon streets of Osaka.

You can travel on the Shinkansen, see traditional shrines, visit a major theme park, and experience Japanese food and culture during the same holiday.

JNTO describes Japan as having an extensive transport network, with trains, buses and Shinkansen services forming an important part of travel, particularly in major cities.

That variety is one reason first time women traveling to Japan from India often prefer an itinerary that combines several destinations rather than staying in only one city.

Why a Women-Only Japan Trip Makes Sense for First-Time Travellers

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, the hardest part is often not Japan itself.

It is the feeling of:

“What if I don’t know what to do?”

A women-only trip reduces that uncertainty by giving you a defined travel structure.

You have a planned itinerary.

You have a tour leader.

You have fellow women travellers.

You have organised transfers.

You have selected hotels.

You have intercity transportation incorporated into the programme.

And you have someone coordinating the journey.

The current Divas Sojourn package specifically includes a tour leader, private tours and transfers, train travel, and organised transportation.

That can be particularly helpful for first time women traveling to Japan from India.

Complete Japan Itinerary for First-Time Women Travellers

Day 1 – Arrive in Tokyo

Your Japanese adventure begins in Tokyo.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, arrival day can feel like the biggest leap.

A different country.

A different language.

A different transport system.

A completely new environment.

Having organised transfer arrangements means you can begin the journey with the group rather than immediately trying to figure out every connection yourself.

Tokyo then becomes your introduction to Japan.

Day 2 – Christmas Special Tokyo Tour

The timing of this Divas Sojourn journey is especially memorable because it begins during the Christmas period.

The itinerary features a Christmas Special Tokyo tour with attractions including an Imperial Palace photo stop, Asakusa Sensoji Temple, Nakamise Street, and a Sumida River Cruise.

This is an ideal introduction for first time women traveling to Japan from India because Tokyo immediately shows you the contrast that makes Japan so fascinating.

Traditional temples.

Modern architecture.

Shopping streets.

Technology.

Food.

Culture.

All within the same city.

Day 3 – Tokyo Disneyland

Day three is all about fun.

Tokyo Disneyland is included in the itinerary, giving the group a break from traditional sightseeing.

And this is important.

Your first Japan trip should not feel like you are ticking attractions off a spreadsheet.

There should be moments when you simply enjoy yourself.

Take photographs.

Try something new.

Laugh with your fellow travellers.

And enjoy being in Japan.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, a day like this can also be an easy way to get to know other women in the group.

Day 4 – Mt. Fuji and Hakone

For many first time women traveling to Japan from India, this will be the day they have imagined before they even booked the trip.

Mount Fuji.

The Divas Sojourn itinerary combines Mt. Fuji and Hakone and includes Oshino Hakkai Village, Owakudani Volcanic Valley, Hakone Ropeway and a Lake Ashi cruise.

Instead of Tokyo’s skyscrapers, you now see mountains, lakes, volcanic landscapes, and scenic viewpoints.

This is also a day when comfortable footwear matters.

Take the pretty shoes for photographs.

But make sure the shoes you actually walk in are comfortable.

Day 5 – Shinkansen, Kyoto and Nara

The Shinkansen is one of those experiences many people associate with Japan before they ever visit.

The Divas Sojourn journey includes train travel with station transfers and features the Shinkansen experience as the group moves towards Kyoto, followed by Nara sightseeing.

Nara adds another dimension to the trip, including Nara Park, Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, having this intercity movement built into the trip removes one of the biggest planning headaches of a multi-city Japan holiday.

Day 6 – Kyoto Sightseeing

Kyoto is where many travellers begin to experience Japan’s traditional character more deeply.

The itinerary includes:

Arashiyama Bamboo Forest

Kinkaku-ji

Fushimi Inari Shrine

Gion District

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, Kyoto can be particularly special because the atmosphere is completely different from Tokyo.

Take your time.

Look around.

Notice the architecture.

Enjoy the traditional surroundings.

And, of course, take the photographs.

Day 7 – Kyoto to Osaka

The group then moves towards Osaka.

Osaka is energetic, modern and famous for its food culture.

JNTO describes Osaka as an important base for exploring the wider Kansai region, including Kyoto, Nara and Kobe.

This makes Osaka a natural part of a first Japan itinerary.

You get another completely different city without adding unnecessary complexity to your holiday.

Day 8 – Kobe + New Year Celebration

The journey ends with Kobe sightseeing and a New Year celebration.

The itinerary lists the Port of Kobe, Mosaic Ferris Wheel, Kitano Ijinkan District, and Earthquake Memorial Museum, followed by New Year celebrations in Osaka.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, this is a wonderful way to end the journey.

Imagine arriving in Japan unsure what the experience will be like and then celebrating New Year surrounded by women you met during the trip.

Day 9 – Departure

The journey concludes on 1 January 2027.

You return to India having experienced Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Nara, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe.

And for many first time women traveling to Japan from India, the greatest achievement may not be any single attraction.

It will be the confidence of knowing:

“I actually did it.”

What Is Included in the Japan Women-Only Package?

The current Divas Sojourn package includes:

International flights from Delhi as specified

4-star accommodation

Private tours and transfers

Economy-class train tickets with station transfers

Divas Sojourn tour leader

Transportation according to group size

Meals as mentioned

Visa and insurance for Indian passport holders, as specified

Specified sightseeing entrance fees

1 litre of water per person per day on the coach

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, these inclusions are valuable because they reduce the number of separate travel decisions you have to make.

What Is Not Included?

Do not book any international trip without reading the exclusions.

The published package does not include lunches. Lunch stops are arranged at convenient locations where travellers pay directly.

Other listed exclusions include tipping, portage, heaters, telephone charges, laundry, personal expenses, extra meals, camera charges where applicable, and services or activities that are not specifically mentioned. The package also notes that additional costs can arise because of circumstances such as natural calamities, road blockages, strikes, political disturbances, or changes in taxes and fuel prices.

This is especially important for first time women traveling to Japan from India because your personal budget should be separate from the package price.

How Much Does the First Japan Trip Cost?

The currently published Divas Sojourn price is ₹3,60,000 per person.

The published early-bird price is ₹3,50,000 per person for the first five bookings.

The listed payment schedule is:

50% at the time of booking

Remaining 50% – 30 days before arrival

When comparing first time women traveling to Japan from India packages, don’t compare only the headline figure.

Compare:

Hotel category.

Flight basis.

Number of nights.

Number of cities.

Transfers.

Train journeys.

Sightseeing.

Entrance fees.

Tour leader.

Visa arrangements.

Insurance.

Meal inclusions.

That gives you a much more useful comparison.

Japan Visa for First-Time Indian Women Travellers

Visa planning is understandably one of the biggest concerns for first time women traveling to Japan from India.

The Divas Sojourn package currently states that visa and insurance are included for Indian passport holders.

Japan’s official visa procedures should always be checked before submission because requirements and processing arrangements can change. The Embassy of Japan in India currently directs applicants through its designated application process, with applications accepted within the applicable pre-travel window.

The golden rule:

Do not wait until the last moment to prepare your documents.

Check your passport validity.

Prepare photographs and required financial/documentary evidence.

Keep your travel records organised.

Submit accurate information.

And follow the current application instructions.

What Is Visit Japan Web?

Another preparation step for first time women traveling to Japan from India is Visit Japan Web.

Japan Customs recommends using the official Visit Japan Web service for electronic customs declarations to streamline arrival procedures. Japan Customs has also warned travellers about fake websites offering paid assistance; the official Visit Japan Web service itself is free.

Save the official service on your phone before travelling.

Do not click a random advertisement promising a “special Japan QR code service.”

Is Japan Safe for Women?

One of the most important questions for first time women traveling to Japan from India is safety.

Japan is considered a very safe destination with a low crime rate, according to JNTO. At the same time, JNTO advises travellers to remain aware of their surroundings and be prepared for natural hazards including earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis and volcanic activity.

So, what does that mean for you?

It means you can enjoy Japan.

But you should still:

Keep your passport secure.

Keep your phone charged.

Follow your group’s meeting times.

Tell your tour leader if you leave the group.

Keep emergency numbers accessible.

Carry some cash.

Pay attention to local instructions during emergencies.

JNTO also notes that female travellers can find Japan comfortable for solo travel and that female-only train cars are available during rush hours on some major-city routes.

Safety is therefore one advantage of choosing a structured trip, but it should never be presented as a guarantee that nothing unexpected can happen.

What Happens If I Don’t Speak Japanese?

Don’t let the language question stop first time women traveling to Japan from India from considering Japan.

JNTO says English is generally understood in tourist areas, airports, hotels, and major transportation systems, and many public signs are available in English. In smaller shops and rural areas, English may be less common, so a translation app can be useful.

A good translation app on your phone is therefore worth having.

Also take screenshots of important addresses.

Keep your hotel information available.

And save the group’s contact information.

How Do I Pay in Japan?

Japan uses the Japanese yen.

Cards are widely accepted in major hotels, department stores, shopping centres, and urban restaurants, but JNTO recommends keeping some cash because smaller or rural businesses may still require cash.

IC cards such as Suica and PASMO can also make many transport and small purchases more convenient.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, a practical combination is:

International card + Japanese yen + phone payment/IC option where suitable.

Don’t depend entirely on just one method.

How Much Walking Should You Expect?

This is something many first-time travellers underestimate.

Japan sightseeing often involves walking through stations, shopping streets, temple grounds, gardens, and attraction areas.

So for first time women traveling to Japan from India, comfortable footwear should be one of your first purchases.

Do not take brand-new shoes simply because they look perfect in photographs.

Wear them before the trip.

Your feet will thank you.

What Should Indian Women Pack for Japan?

The current Divas Sojourn trip runs from late December into New Year, so winter clothing is important.

Your Japan packing list should include:

Warm winter jacket

Thermal layers

Sweaters

Comfortable walking shoes

Warm socks

Gloves

Scarf

Moisturiser and lip balm

Personal medication

Universal travel adapter

Portable charger

Passport copies

Travel insurance documents

Small day bag

Foldable umbrella

Some Japanese yen

And one nice outfit for Christmas or New Year photographs.

The late-December weather is winter, and JNTO notes that December can range from cool conditions to proper winter cold depending on location. The New Year period is also a busy travel period.

What About Indian Food in Japan?

Food can be a bigger concern for Indian women than sightseeing.

Japan has an enormous range of food, but if you follow a strict vegetarian, Jain, vegan, halal, or allergy-specific diet, plan.

Do not assume that a dish containing vegetables is automatically vegetarian.

Broths, sauces and seasonings can contain ingredients that are not obvious.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, tell Divas Sojourn about important dietary requirements before departure.

Lunches are not included in the current package, so having an idea of suitable lunch options before the sightseeing day begins can make the trip much smoother.

Japan Etiquette Every First-Time Woman Should Know

Japan rewards travellers who pay attention to local etiquette.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, remember:

Do not speak loudly on public transport.

Stand in queues.

Do not litter.

Follow instructions at temples and shrines.

Remove shoes wherever required.

Respect photography restrictions.

Ask before taking close-up photographs of strangers.

Avoid blocking pathways for photographs.

And most importantly, be punctual.

When you are travelling with a group, being late does not affect only you. It affects everyone.

Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka: Which City Will You Love Most?

You might think you have to choose.

You don’t.

That is one of the strengths of the Divas Sojourn itinerary.

Tokyo

Best for modern city life, shopping, entertainment, and iconic urban experiences.

Kyoto

Best for traditional culture, temples, shrines and historic atmosphere.

Osaka

Best for energetic city life, food and evening experiences.

JNTO describes Kyoto as a major destination connected to Tokyo and Osaka by the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen, while Osaka serves as an excellent base for the wider Kansai region including Kyoto, Nara and Kobe.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, experiencing all three gives you a far more complete introduction to Japan.

Why You Don’t Need to Wait for Your Friends

This may be the most important section of this entire article.

How many times have you heard:

“Japan? Yes! Let’s go.”

And then six months later:

“I can’t get leave.”

Or:

“My children have exams.”

Or:

“Let’s plan next year.”

Or:

“Flights are too expensive now.”

And suddenly another year passes.

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, a women-only group can solve that exact problem.

You don’t need to find one person who is free on the same dates.

You can book your own seat.

You can meet other women.

And you can go.

Why Book Your First Japan Trip with Divas Sojourn?

The biggest advantage is not simply that the trip is women-only.

It is the combination of women-only travel + curated itinerary + organised logistics + group support.

Divas Sojourn’s current Japan package includes:

Women-only group travel

4-star hotels

International flights from Delhi as specified

Private tours and transfers

Shinkansen/train travel

Tour leader

Visa and insurance for Indian passport holders as specified

Tokyo

Mt. Fuji

Hakone

Nara

Kyoto

Osaka

Kobe

Christmas experience

New Year celebration

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, this means you are not simply buying sightseeing.

You are buying a more structured travel experience.

You can focus on what you are seeing instead of constantly asking how you are going to reach the next place.

Who Is This Japan Women-Only Trip Best For?

This trip is especially suitable for:

Solo women who want companionship without waiting for a travel partner.

First-time international travellers who want greater structure.

Working women who don’t have time to research every travel detail.

Mothers and daughters wanting a special international holiday.

Sisters and friends looking for a shared Japan experience.

Women who are nervous about their first international group trip.

Women who have been postponing Japan because they have nobody to go with.

The last category is perhaps the most important.

Because sometimes the only thing missing from your Japan trip is the decision to stop waiting.

Is the December–January Japan Trip a Good Choice?

The Divas Sojourn departure falls over Christmas and New Year.

That gives it an obvious festive advantage, but it also means you are travelling during a busy holiday period.

JNTO notes that the New Year period can be busy and expensive, with some businesses closing for a few days around the holiday.

This is why first time women traveling to Japan from India should think about the trip early rather than waiting for the final weeks.

The currently published Divas Sojourn early-bird price is ₹3,50,000 for the first five bookings, versus the listed regular price of ₹3,60,000.

Availability and pricing should be reconfirmed before payment.

Your First Japan Trip Checklist

Before travelling, make sure you have:

Valid passport

Japan visa/approved travel documentation

Flight details

Hotel and tour information

Emergency contacts

Copies of passport and important documents

Japanese yen

International payment card

Translation app

Winter clothing

Personal medication

Universal adaptor

Small day bag

For first time women traveling to Japan from India, preparation does not need to be complicated.

It simply needs to be organised.

The Moment to Stop Saying “One Day”

Perhaps you have been thinking about Japan for years.

Perhaps you have never travelled internationally alone.

Perhaps your family worries about you travelling without them.

Perhaps you have always wanted to go but could never find the right person.

This is exactly why first time women traveling to Japan from India should consider a women-only travel format.

You don’t need to become an expert traveller before going.

You learn by travelling.

You gain confidence by doing.

And you discover that the world can be much bigger than the routine you have become comfortable with.

The current Divas Sojourn Japan women-only trip departs 24 December 2026 and returns 1 January 2027, covering eight nights and nine days across Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Nara, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe.

Don’t wait until the seats, flights or early-bird availability are gone.

Enquire with Divas Sojourn now and secure your place on the Japan Women-Only Trip.

Tell the team that you are considering Japan for the first time, share your city, travel requirements and passport details, and ask for the latest booking availability and inclusions.

Your first Japan trip does not have to be perfect.
