My son and I had an excellent time on our tour. We travelled to Tokyo, Kyoto, Himeji, Hiroshima and Osaka. The tour was not too fast paced and required a moderate amount of walking. We saw traditional sites as well as the new. Tokyo National Museum, Senso-Ji Buddhist Temple in Akakusa and The Tokyo Metropolitan Building were the ones we went to in Tokyo. We also visited Mount Fuji. We took the bullet rain from Shinagawa Train Station to Kyoto. Kinkaku-Ji Temple, Heian Jingu Shrine, Toda-Ji Bhuddist temple and Kyoto Tower were great. Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter and Miyajima Island were timeless. I never thought I would visit Peace Memorial Park - Hiroshima. It was very solemn. Koko-en Japanese Gardens, Himeji were a peaceful oasis. Umeda Sky Building was extraodinary. Amazing arcitecture. Everywhere in Japan is a cultural eye opener. It can be fast paced or very slow and tranquil. The optional excursions were great, but not doing all of them also allowed us to take our time sight seeing. All in all an excellent tour that strikes a good balance and pace. Our tour guide Joi was fantastic.Show more

The 10 tour of Japan was amazing. Our tour director Yama was excellent- organised, approachable, knowledgeable. The bus drivers incredibly polite. This tour gave a snap shot of Japan incorporating the castles, shrines, ancient customs, modern innovations. We loved every minute of it. This tour involved coaches, bullet trains, tram, we did the subway. The accommodation was in the areas most would want to explore. The rooms small however who needs large rooms. The opt in extras were great. We found the tour was a great snap shot of Japan, well organised with a brilliant guideShow more
