We had a great trip to Japan, our guide Tatsuya was amazing and worked very hard to showcase his country, his knowledge of Shinto and Buddhism was very impressive. We particularly enjoyed the home stay and staying family owned accommodation. The trip gave us a well balanced taste of Japan from the cities to the rural areas and the culture, we achieved a lot.
An absolutely incredible trip in Japan, especially with Zoe as our group leader. Throughout the trip we had lots of activities planned by Intro which was great as we didn't have to worry about missing out on anything. Also we had enough free time to be able to explore and do our own thing as well. Going from the crazy cities into the quiet mountains within a few hours was amazing and very needed at times. Zoe was super fun from the first interaction and was brilliant throughout the entire trip. She ensured we have had good recommendations in every location for food and activities and even organised a bowling evening for one of the free evenings. Felt like we were experiencing Japan with a very well organised friend which was just what we needed! The trip in general was really well planned and getting from place to place was made very easy with Zoe :) thanks for making it a trip of a life time!
I think I'm turning Japanese? We loved Japan. The people were amazingly friendly and helpful, the food was an experience in itself. The different culture had to be witnessed. The lack of litter was refreshing. The punctuality of the trains had to be seen to be believed.
