    This was my second time booking with UME and Amber, and once again, everything was perfect! She put together an amazing theme-park-focused trip for my son, and he hasn’t stopped talking about it since we got home!

    Amazing! The hotel, the driver—everything was perfectly taken care of, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guide was awesome too, taking us everywhere and giving us great explanations about the temples and palaces we visited. Super friendly and helpful!

      TravelerWritten May 2024

      Hi Dan - did you book the kabuki performance for 3 people? I also looked at the hotels. We are 3 adults traveling and would like to request the following: Hotel East 21 Tokyo - semi double room and standard single room, Fuji View Hotel - moderate twin room with Mt. Fuji view, Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto-Ekimae - deluxe twin, Hotel Granvia Okayama- semi double room & single room, Mitsubishi Garden Hotel Hiroshima- moderate twin -3 beds, please. Please let me know if this is possible.

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten May 2024

      Yes, the new proposal includes three people attending the Kabuki Performance in Tokyo on Day 2. This performance showcases the beauty of Japanese traditional culture, one of chapter including the Kabuki Performance. I'd to remind you that in Japan semi double rooms and standard single rooms in most hotels are quite small and not suitable for accommodating three people(around 15 square meters). It's also important to note that these rooms typically don't allow for an extra person if the room size is only under 20 sqaure meters include double twin beds. So, would you like to book three separate rooms, such as three single bed rooms, or perhaps two double bed rooms, or even a triple bed room?
