WHAT TO EXPECT
Global Players (GP) Team Tours are based on the philosophy that participants will be travelers, not only tourists, by the end of their trip. Our programming focuses on Athletes and Teams being immersed in the Host Culture by:
We believe travel is for everyone. Therefore we offer two (2) pricing options for Teams with different Budgets:
HOW IT WORKS
We created 5-day Tours to mix-n-match! To build a 10-day tour, choose 2 cities, enter you preferred Start Date, # of Travelers, and add both to your cart.
Booking: During checkout, please indicate your TEAM NAME and if you would like Option 1 or 2 under “add a note to your order”. If Athletes are paying separately, make sure everyone selects the same Tour(s) and Option. One point person is designated to work with Global Players, for example a Coach or Team Manager.
Payments: You will have 2 payments. The non-refundable Deposit ($195 per person) is charged at booking to start your Program Development. We will bill you later for the Remaining Balance (variable).
Next Steps: Once your Booking is received, a dedicated GP Tour Consultant will contact you to start planning your Tour!

This itinerary combines sports training, cultural experiences in Tokyo, and a challenging but rewarding Mt. Fuji climb. The climbing season for Mt. Fuji is crucial. It’s typically open from early July to early September. Ensure the team is physically prepared for the ascent. Allow for flexibility in the itinerary, especially during the climb, considering weather conditions.
July to early September is generally the best time for climbing Mt. Fuji. Tokyo weather is pleasant during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November).
