What people love about Japan Tours from Osaka
- Japan Kansai - 6 Days
5 stars for Super Value Tours! We just returned from a family trip with SuperValue Tours (the Japan - Kansai 7 day) and it was better than I could have imagined. From the very start where we were met at the airport by a delightful woman who escorted us to our bus which took us to the hotel in Tokyo, to the fabulous hotels and restaurants included in the tour, to the most amazing, kind and helpful tour guide (Junko - “J”), every detail was taken care of for us. Junko was so good at working with and communicating with our group (a nice sized group of 19). I feel she went above and beyond my all my expectations. The tour was truly outstanding and Junko made it perfect. We saw so much, had experiences that were quite memorable (think karaoke in our Japanese garb at the Japanese banquet feast), to dining in beautiful restaurants. The bus and driver were an added bonus - so considerate and punctual. The hotels were all first rate - I was very impressed. I highly recommend this tour company to any one traveling to Japan. Using SuperValue Tours took the stress and challenge out of navigating a new country. I also was most appreciative of the Los Angeles office (particularly Sachi) who was always prompt in answering my questions. I feel the tour was an extremely good value for the price paid. Excellent company, superb tour guide (thank you, “J”) and an experience of a lifetime!
- Japan Winter Wonder (Classic, 10 Days) (including Hakone)
Had the best time! Shan our tour manager was awesome and really made everything easy.
The 11 day Stunning Tour to Japan was exciting, educational and just the right length to see a little bit of everything. The guide Ayumi was generous with her time, knowledge and humor. I would recommend this trip if you like surprises, we got snowed on.
