Wonderful staff stateside and in Japan. This was our first time to Japan and we would recommend Samurai Tours to others.
Itinerary
Very much enjoyed all the sights we were escorted to. I would suggest building a little more shopping time if possible. Would love to have spent a little more time in Kamakura walking around. My favorite was Hasedera Temple
Lodging
The ryokahn staff were so accomodating and engaging. And the room was perfect for two people. Would have loved to hear more about the history of the hotel. Very much enjoyed relaxing in the baths and then some quiet time in the tea salon each evening. The neighborhood was easy to navigate and felt very homey.
Food
The quality of our meals were excellent. Would've enjoyed an evening dinner at the hotel if possible. One evening during our stay there appeared to be a private party that included a Geisha
Guides
Our guide Charlie-san was VERY knowledgeable and so patient!
Pre-Tour Handbook
Pre-Tour documentation explained everything clearly. We arrived a day early and did not choose to have an escort meet us but the instructions provided on how to get ourselves from Narita to Ueno were excellent and we had no trouble figuring out train then taxi to the hotel.
