At JourneyWoman, we want to help you save time and start travelling! Every two weeks, we'll curate the best travel deals for hotels, tours and day trips to help you plan your travels.

The companies featured in JourneyWoman’s Women’s Travel Directory are vetted by JourneyWoman to ensure that they operate with the highest standards. TourRadar also performs its own verification and onboarding process for all operators on its platform, adding an additional layer of security and professionalism. While we host our Women’s Travel Directory as a free service to women travellers, we do not operate or book tours. One of the unique features of this site is that you can HOLD a trip at the price you see it today without paying for it right away. This gives you time to review the details and make your decision. Through TourRadar, you can book directly with the operators and get the same pricing as on their site.

Deals of the Week: Save on Trips to Japan

Japan packs a lot into a small geography. You can get from a Tokyo skyscraper to a mountain hot spring on the same afternoon by bullet train. We've gathered tours from our vetted partners that cover different parts of the country at different paces, so you can find one that matches what you're actually looking for.

We host our Women’s Travel Directory as a free service to women travellers. JourneyWoman does not operate or book tours. One of the major reasons we are partnering with Tour Radar is to protect you, the consumer. Far too often, we see women who wire cash or money to a tour operator to book a trip; there is no guarantee that it will arrive or that you will be refunded if the tour is cancelled. While there are some consumer protection agencies, like the TICO (Travel Industry Council of Ontario), your purchases are not protected when payment is made in cash. Read more about how TourRadar operates here.

When you purchase a product using these links, JourneyWoman receives a small commission from the seller at no extra cost to you!
