Cherry Blossom and so much more in Japan We had high expectations for our visit to Japan for the Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) season and they were exceeded. Not only did we get to see the beautiful blossom but also the old Japanese streets of Kyoto, dancing Geisha, the spring fair in Takayama, snow monkeys bathing and so much more. We got to stay in a traditional ryokan with great dining which was a great Japanese experience. Over and above the standard tour, our group leader also arranged on our free days to see Mount Fuji (wonderful view from Lake Ashi) and the sumo wrestlers training. We've been back a week and still processing all the wonderful experiences.
After researching for hours online for every Japan tour that existed, booking with Intro Travel was the best decision we made!!! I went on this tour with my boyfriend and we found it to be a great combination of group activities and separate free time. The accommodation that we stayed in on the tour were all so unique and could not fault at all. It was SO affordable and great value for money for everything we experienced. It exceeded our expectations by far and truly gave us a once in a lifetime experience! Favourite moment from the trip was seeing the snow monkeys and experiencing snow for the first time! „¸ A big thank you to our group leader Anna who made this trip so effortless and enjoyable - youre a legend. ’’
I am on my way home after the Japan Experience and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE!! This was my first solo trip abroad and it was fantastic. Intro are so well organised, the app was brilliant my phone didn;t work once I got out of the airport; but I had saved the instructions and managed to navigate Tokyo on my own with just those! 10/10 Intro. Also any time I emailed them they where excellent in there responses very helpful and over the phone too. My tour leader was Anna J and I cannot say enough good things about her, she was knowledgeable, helpful, hilariously funny and the best leader I could have asked for. Also bowling and connect 4 CHAMPION! I have already booked a deposit for another trip and cannot wait! I had booked this purely based on recommendations from a friend who has been on Intros trips before and I would and will recommend them to anyone who is looking to have a stress free trip! I felt safe and looked after at all times. The experiences and activities where absolutely top notch! From the onsens in Nagano to the snow monkey park I laughed every single day to the point of stomach aches some times and have made some wonderful friends! The balance of free time and activities I felt was perfect, and the travelling although it hard going was absolutely manageable (20/30K steps a day) just be prepared to sleep very well! ‚ The accommodation at every stop was excellent, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers, towels anything I needed! Never once felt like a hostel in the way people think of them, definitely more hotel style! Overall if you are a solo traveller, family, couple or friends I would say you will not be disappointed Intro is excellent! Cannot wait to go again! Hopefully with Anna J 10/10!
