This is an excellent tour - in terms of the sites that we visited - away from the hustle and bustle of the busy cities in Japan. The best part of the tour for us seeing the different shrines and temples, and seeing part of the Japanese Alps as well as staying in the Buddhist temple in Mount Koya at Monasterio Fukuchin - a traditional Ryokan. This was an extraordinary and beautiful place and we loved the vegetarian meals prepared by the monks - being vegetarian, it was a real treat and doing meditation when we arrived and in the morning. We also loved the hotel we stayed at in Takayama - Hotel Hoshokaku Ryokan - a very traditional place, very peaceful and serene. This tour encompasses a lot of different traditional and eternal sites of Japan in a coach bus which was excellent. I loved our tour guides - Asayu, Nacho, Ricardo and Nadia. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is looking for a wonderful trip to Japan and to immerse themselves in the traditions and cultural aspects of Japan.Show more
