Japan is super safe.
I'd say ditch the tour and just organise it yourself. Getting lost is half the fun :)
Yeah this is what I'm considering doing. Two weeks on my own can't be that bad. Plus if I see my friend, it's 10 days. I'm sure I'll meet people along the way!
I've been lost many times, just find a main road, they often have maps or duck into a cafe and ask
if it's bad grab the closest taxi and ask to go to the nearest landmark you know
or to your hotel. Take a business card from your hotel's front desk and pass that to the taxi driver
