    Dear Kurt: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your guide, and we also want to provide some clarification regarding the hotels and optional tour. All the hotels used for this itinerary were 3-star or 4-star properties, chosen for their comfort, convenience, and location. In Tokyo, we stayed at Hotel Villa Fontaine Ueno Okachimachi, which holds strong 4-star reviews on Google and is excellently located just about 1 mile from the famous Senso-ji Temple. In Osaka, our guests stayed at the Osaka Castle Hotel, within walking distance of the iconic Osaka Castle. Additionally, we included two 4-star hotels to enhance the travel experience — Star Gate Kansai Hotel and Mercure Nagano Hotel. As for the optional Hiroshima tour, it is designed to provide not only a meaningful cultural experience but also a unique travel opportunity. This tour includes round-trip bullet train tickets, private door-to-door transportation, and a visit to the beautiful Miyajima Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in addition to Hiroshima itself. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to ensure every guest feels they’ve had a well-rounded experience with us.

    Are these tours guaranteed departure? Intended travel is in August.

    Price / Availability
    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten March 2026

      We have a guaranteed tour in August. It's the Splendid Japan tour on August 10th. We will try to accommodate to postpone to tour if necessary if the situation worsens.

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      May i know if taxi service can be arranged for pick up and drop off at airport for additional cost?

    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten March 2026

      The first night hotel is only one stop from the airport by train and its very convenient to get there. And there are convenient public transfer back to the airport after the tour ends. If the guests prefer, they can also get a taxi upon arrival at the airport.

    Brenda

    Asked on February 2nd, 2026

    I am travelling to Japan from April 25th to May 9th. Are there any tour dates that can fit into this timeframe? I am not finding any, unfortunately.

    Price / Availability
    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      The April 24th Splendid Japan tour is the closest match for you. The Stunning Japan tour isn't a guaranteed departure yet. There is no activity scheduled for April 24th except for the meeting with the tour guide. If you arrive in Japan on the 25th, you can get to the hotel in Osaka the same date and join the tours starting from the 26th. So overall you will miss one day tour(25th).

    Barry

    Asked on January 30th, 2026

      For Hiroshima, do you purchase the bullet train tickets, or do we need to buy them separately?

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      How much do you estimate we should budget per day for meals?

    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      The first night hotel is Star Gate Hotel Kansai. Our rates aren't good for individual hotel bookings. I would recommend booking with the hotel or online for better rates.

    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes the bamboo forest in Kyoto is included.

    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      The bullet train ticket to Hiroshima is included in the Hiroshima optional tour.

    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      The price for meals are similar or a little cheaper than the U.S.

    • B

      Barry

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      I will purchase the 14-day JR Pass, since I will continue traveling after the tour. For the Hiroshima tour, I would already have the JR Pass. Would you be able to deduct the cost of that ticket from the tour price?

    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      Since the Hiroshima optional tour is sold as a package, we won't be able to provide any discount for guests who already have a JR Pass.

    Asked on January 29th, 2026

    Is it possible to book an extra night at the beginning in Osaka and an extra night at the end in Tokyo?

    Accommodation
    • Stunning ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      For individual hotel bookings, our rates are unfortunately not as competitive. To ensure you receive the best value, I would recommend booking through Expedia or directly on the hotel's official website.
      The first night's hotel has been confirmed as Star Gate Hotel Kansai. We will share the remaining confirmed hotel details approximately one month prior to the departure date.
