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.
We wished that the tour guide would bring us back to near Central Post Office where the tour started as everyone was not familiar with the public transportation from Gion district to Kyoto Station.
I did the Japan trip. It had a nice mix of the modern Japan with the tradition ancient Japan. We learned a lot about japans history and had a lot of fun. My fav parts were the classes as well as staying at a 1200 year old temple on Koyasan. Shout out to Michelle. She kept us all on track and organized and made the whole trip stress free.
