Our family of three had the most amazing trip in Japan with Odynovo’s tour. Although I don’t think the specific nine day tour we booked is offered anymore, I cannot speak highly enough of our experience. They planned most of our transportation (which was so helpful) and provided exceptional tour guides and a driver to help us learn about and explore this beautiful country. The beautiful hotels booked by Odynovo were perfect for us (although we didn’t spend too much time in our rooms!). The breakfasts which were included at each hotel were absolutely delicious. This was certainly a trip of a lifetime!! We look forward to using Odynovo again and recommending them to family and friends.Show more
Carol5.0•May 2026
Wonderful! We enjoyed traveling between the major cities on our own and having a guide at each place to show us around.
RICHARD4.0•April 2026
