A great tour, which we both enjoyed tremendously. A wide variety of interesting sites to visit and different modes of transport to experience. Being able to visit Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima, Takayama, Matsumoto, Yudanka and Tokyo was just superb and everything went exceedingly smoothly with all the trains, buses, subways, trams, and PIRATE ships! The group was 18 in number and we always were able to travel together and experience all the sights. Hotels were good and offered restful nights and hot spring water baths at one. Meals were usually together and fish eaters were well catered for alongside the meat eaters. The two luggage transfers were great and suitcases were whisked off to be reunited a couple of days later. The trip schedule meant that most days we had several sights to visit and even on 'free-days' our guide, Ayaka, skilfully put together individual packages depending on our needs. The variety of experiences across the main island of Japan was wonderful.
I did my first Intro tour in April 2023 to Japan. It was amazing and so well organised. Our tour leader Michelle was fantastic - so knowledgable and so much fun. She really made sure that we all had the best experience possible. I would really recommend the Japan tour. It is a perfect mix of cities and smaller places and the activities and day trips are excellent. Michelle also made loads of great recommendations for our free time. It was so lovely not having to worry about organising trains, accommodation and activities and everything ran so smoothly. The group was really fun and a perfect size with lots of other solo travellers. I would definitely go away with Intro again!
My Intro Travel trip around Japan was two of the best weeks of my life. We managed to explore and experience so much and Michelle and Yoni made the whole trip stress free and more fun than I could have imagined. Best group leaders ever! Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering visiting Japan.
