After spending two weeks in Japan, I learned a lot about their history and cultural as well as overindulging in all of the delicious foods/sweets which I will miss dearly. Some of the highlights I most enjoyed were visiting the snow monkeys, sushi and soba noodle making classes, nature walks including the bamboo forest and Torii gates, and the exciting night life. I couldnt have had a more fun and successful trip without my amazing group leader, Michelle. She did an outstanding job of keeping us all on track especially when things didnt go as planned, recommending places during our free time and even planning group outings for nightly dinners and activities. Her thoroughness, dedication and great communication skills didnt go unnoticed.
I went on the 13-day Japan Adventure tour with Intro travel and it was beyond incredible! The itinerary was such a good mix between buzzing cities and the mountains/nature of Japan, and also managed to get the perfect balance between free time and planned activities. I don't think I would have been able to see or do half the things we did on the trip had I decided to travel Japan without a tour - highlights had to be seeing the snow monkeys in Nagano and sushi making! I thought overall the trip was really good value for money. I would recommend anyone to consider taking a trip with Intro travel! Would definitely travel with them again.
I have just returned from AOP 180512,it was quite a rewarding trip, we saw lots in our travels there was great variety from the rural countryside and small towns to the wonder that is Tokyo.It might be an idea to indicate in the title that travel is exclusively by train (AOP......by train).We had the most fantastic hotel in Kyoto, our hotel in Tokyo was very good also,both were next door to the subway which made travelling around very easy,all train stations have english signs and announcements.There are many many historical and cultural sights to visit and lots of shopping opportunities. This country has everything. It also feels very safe,people can leave their belongings unattended. I witnessed this on several occasions. There are lots of food options also.......
