The trip was absolutely incredible. First of all thanks to Terry who was an incredible guide - super knowledgeable, brilliantly friendly and always going above and beyond. The trip around Japan was fantastic. Every day we packed in multiple brilliant activities but we’re also given time to spend as our own family at our own pace and do what we wanted. Terry had amazing suggestions for these periods! Also lucky to have such an amazing group and meet some lovely people.Show more
