A brilliant introduction to Japan, its people and its culture. A top notch guide and a friendly, cohesive group made up for the terrible but unseasonal weather. Despite raining for 15 out of 18 days it didn't stop us from completing the itinerary (except for a landslide which closed the park where we were due to see the snow monkeys). And it was a packed itinerary, so not much downtime (which you might or might not prefer). The biggest disappointment for me however, was the lack of autumn colour. It was really too early in this part of Japan so I think Exodus should revise their note where it says "Best for autumn colour". I was expecting to find the food to be a challenge but it wasn't, the food was good with plenty of choice and variety. The Temples, shrines, gardens and parks are exactly as you would expect. What you might not expect is that some ancient sites sit cheek by jowl with modern high-rise buildings but usually not the main tourist sites. The Shinkansen was actually better than expected, not to be missed. Plenty of ordinary folk wearing traditional dress, especially in Kyoto.

Amazing trip. Accommodation was great as was the meals ( but I'm not a fan of Japanese food which made breakfasts restrictive). However the walking (challenging at times) and scenery was spectacular and culture was fascinating. Rob was a terrific guide. Would highly recommend this tour.

Just came back to Mexico from 13 days in Japan and it was truly amazing! Got to see sooooo many things, meet so many people, walked like I never had before haha! If youre up for adventure and walking I definitely recommend this tour. It a truly immersive experience....and if youre suuuuuper lucky youll get Vitor as your guide. Vitor is the sweetest, most chill and funniest guy. Plus has some serious dance moves ª (Vitor pelado!)
