We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday, we loved Japan & the Japanese, loved travelling everywhere on public transport, which was excellent. The holiday lived up to our expectations & certainly fulfilled the title of Ancient & Modern Japan. In the 2 weeks we experienced a good insight into Japan, which has wetted our appetite for further visits.
The Japan tour was absolutely amazing! The mix of busy cities and quieter traditional towns made me feel like I really got to see all of Japan. Anna our tour leader was incredible! She had so much knowledge about the culture and history she really made the trip. Couldnt recommend her and the trip highly enough.
This was a superb holiday from start to finish. The itinerary was well thought out and we loved using the rail network rather than being stuck on busses. We were lucky to arrive at the peak of the cherry blossom, to have wonderful views of Mount Fuji and to arrive in Takayama on the day of the spring festival. The ryokans were great fun and we enjoyed the whole experience of the olsens. We found the Japanese people to be polite and helpful and we always felt very safe which made it a very stress free holiday.
