The food was amazing and the options even more so. Hotels were good and interesting to experience a futon, onsen and so on. There was so much to see and do with not much addtional money needed to spend unless you wanted to. Travel was comfortable and was given such a great learning experience from Takae
Finished my Japan Intro trip today. Honestly am speechless had so much fun meeting the people in my group and especially my amazing guide Michelle (who is now prolly my best friend, along with a couple others in the group such genuinely nice people I love them all). The hand on experiences, the new culture you get to learn, the things you get to see are all just mind blowing. Compared to other travel groups I have done Intro is far above them, so much more information given prior to the trip and during the trip. My favourite experience is very hard to pick but Id have to say it was the days we spent in Nagano. Traditional country side of Japan was absolutely beautiful, learned origami and hot to make udon noodles by the cute locals, snow monkey experience was so adorable and lovely. If your thinking about doing a Japan trip just do it and make sure you do it with Intro.
