- L· December 6th, 2024This was an amazing first entry to Japan, with many memorable experiences (Mt Fuji ❤️🏔). Anna was friendly, careful and very approachable, always open to any questions and wanting to make your trip as suitable for you as possible. No one was lost or injured, always a plus 😅. Be aware though, the 10 day tour is quite the whirlwind 🌪might be a good idea to do some walking beforehand to prepare🚶♂️✈️ Now that I've got this tour under my belt I feel ready to take on Japan! Thank you Anna and OneLife! 🤙✨️Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for your review L! We're glad to hear that you had a memorable experience with us in Japan.

- STSamuel· December 3rd, 2024Truly the trip of a lifetime! Daan made the whole experience incredibly enjoyable, bringing a wealth of knowledge and great vibes the whole time. Was lucky to have an amazing group of people from all over the world! Will never forget chilling in Hakone with some cheap beers from a convenience store just having a blast with everyoneShow moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for you review Samuel! We're sure that Daan will be delighted to know that he made your time in Japan so enjoyable. Thank you for choosing to travel with One Life Adventures!Trip date: November 2024
- JJane· December 3rd, 2024I joined the 10 day tour across Japan with One Life Adventures. From start to finish the trip exceeded my expectations. Our guide Daan, was really knowledgeable, got us to where we needed to be on time and really made the trip run smoothly. It's really hard to choose a favourite part of the trip as the tour really packed in a variety of experiences and activities, from sushi making, kimono wearing, visiting many of the beautiful temples and shrines, to taking a kendo class, riding the shinkansen and visiting Mount Fuji. We got to sing karaoke with the locals in Kyoto which was really fun and we were able to visit and Onsen in Takyama to truly relax (and it snowed). I've really enjoyed my time in Japan and was able to share the adventure with a great group of people too.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for your lovely review Jane! We're thrilled to hear that your time in Japan surpassed your expectations.

- AGAlexandra· December 3rd, 2024If you want to see Japan, but not sure what to do or want to plan everything yourself this is the perfect tour. Was best inclusions and value I found. The people on tour were lovely and guide Daan could not be better. Went above and beyond sharing tid bits or navigating unforeseen events such as getting us to Mt. Fugi despite high winds!Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback Alexandra! We're pleased to hear that you found the tour a perfect fit for you. It sounds like you had a great time with your group and Daan leading you around Japan. Thank you for choosing to join us in Japan!Trip date: November 2024
- RWRob· December 3rd, 2024This was a fantastic tour covering a wide array of sights and experiences. It included many once in a lifetime experiences like kendo at Japan's oldest dojo and watching the sun set over Mount Fuji. Add in Monkey Mountain, boat ride, Tokyo arcades, Shibuya crossing, sushi making, tea ceremony and much, much more. Our guide, Daan, was great and made what was a packed itinerary feel like it was leisurely and things ran as smoothly as the Shinkansen.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for joining us in Japan Rob! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed so many of the incredible experiences on tour with us throughout Japan. Mt. Fuji at sunset hits different, I can see why is was a standout for you.Trip date: November 2024

- SJScott· December 2nd, 2024Dale. Let that sink in. Dale. If you want to maximize your time and soak up as much info as you can, Dale. Such a fun tour. Side notes in the form of “Dales Tales” were essential. If I find him running other tours I will definitely try to get him again. He is non stop trying to make sure your trip goes off as easy as possible. To Dale, konpai!!!Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your kind words Scott!

- EMEunice· November 30th, 2024This was my first holiday since pre covid do I was very much looking forward to it and it exceeded my expectations. Out travel guide Dale made it an a star plus experience. He was so helpful, kind and caring, very knowlagable (took us to some great spots)and great fun. To add cherry on the cake he got me a little birthday gift, very very sweet. It was quite a fast paced trip and even with recommended 15kg luggage it was a bit tough on the old back but an excellent trip all the same and we had free time to rest or do our own thing.I love how we all connected as a group and I loved moments like playing board games and singing karaoke. I miss that in my life, I miss fun and connection with my friends. There were quieter reflective periods like the stay in the monastery which has taught me practices I hope to bring in my life to reduce stress and has inspired postive change in other relationships in my life. The Onsen was soo good. I wish we had that in the UK. I was so sad to say goodbye to everyone including Dale. We became like a little family at the end.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your wonderful review Eunice! We're thrilled you chose to travel with us for your since the pandemic and that it exceeded your expectations. It’s clear Dale made the trip extra special with his kindness, knowledge, and thoughtful... Show moreTrip date: November 2024
