Everything was excellent! I've visited Japan before, but I'd never seen the variety of things I was able to see during this tour. The food was incredible! I took so many awesome videos and pictures throughout this trip! One highlight for me was the Samurai experience and seeing snow monkeys. I could go on and on about all the activities, everything was excellent!
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.
A wonderful trip , accompanied by a great bunch of fellow travellers and a guide who made it her job to ensure that we all got the best out of it. We could not possibly have achieved so much in so short a time without the company of our exceptional guide Ayaka who just made everything work like clockwork in the nicest possible way. The whole trip was truly exceptional. Excellent hotel accommodation in Kyoto and Tokyo. The Ryokans are quirky and a good experience of yet another cultural difference. The food at the ryokans was amazing, beautifully presented and a feast for the senses.
