Review

My husband and I signed up for the tour as a supported way to visit Japan and become more familiar with the culture, history and beautiful cities of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. The itinerary was very full but with small pockets of unscheduled time that we found very helpful in allowig us to either more fully engage in activity or rest as our bodies needed.

We stayed in primarily one chain of hotels that was Onsen style and absolutely loved the amazing daily breakfasts, easy access to laundry and onsen pools and facilities that we enjoyed daily! Our 1 night hotel experience in Hakone was exceptional as well.

Wonderful meals that provided variety and opportunities to try new things! Our guide also was astute about my onboarding with sushi and helped make hat experience really wonderful during a very traditional and extensive meal at our Onsen in Hakone.

Our two primary guides were absolutely excellent! So personable, organized, intuitive and functioning at the highest level of excellence as they kept our group safe, on time and informed throughout our trip. Yuriko was also so helpful as we dealt with the unexpected need to purchase new prescription glasses for my husband and assisted in the process which helped to expedite the entire process and get us back on track as quickly as possible,

Excellent communication with the team along the way.

Top notch! All needs were met along the way. Train passes and IC cards appeared exactly when needed, transportation well planned, meal reservations synced up exactly with the itinerary. Our guides made it look and feel easy but we know there was a full team and organization that has been working on all aspects of the tour and we do appreciate that so much!

We loved using all the forms of public transportation available with minimal use of taxis!.
