The back roads were so beautiful, hard yakka but that's what we wanted! Our guide, Rob, was fantastic. He had only short notice offor the job but he made our trip so enjoyable. Thank you so much Rob. Japan itself was a joy to see & the transport so dependable. So, our thanks to W E & Bec for all the great arrangements
The overall experience was great. We visited the Hiroshima atomic bomb site and some classic attractions. The tour guide Molly patiently explained a lot of Japanese history and culture to us. My favorite part was experiencing the Japanese tea ceremony culture, which was a very novel experience for me. Recommended to everyone who wants to travel to Japan
Load of new cultures and experiences! The trip was great overall... we came, saw, and learned about new cultures and experience new food and local favorites with tons of activities. A very fast pace with lots of walking up, and down stairs carrying luggage using public transportation, and mountain climbing to see temples and monkeys. Bring your most comfortable shoes and pack lightly as possible--at times, I felt a bit rushed through to complete the day's activities and catch the trains.
