The 6 Days Japan's Adventure tour seems like an unpretentious six days until you're able to see what it's stuffed with. This was no tour of Japan to be seen from safe vantage points or with a camera. It moves differently, it eats differently, it drinks differently, and it thinks differently.It moves differently, it eats differently, it drinks differently, and it thinks differently. Trails that paid off as soon as every muscle burnt and every view was justified. Cultural experiences, which required instead of merely being appreciated. This was a way to discover the cities, not through the bus windows, but on foot and among the back streets and local markets where the true nature of Japan's everyday life was unvarnished and true. Six days were spent intensely, without taking any unnecessary risks and without engaging in any extreme sport.Six days were spent intensely, without any unnecessary risks and without any extreme sports. It just takes a willingness to immerse yourself in a country that gives rewards for curiosity that are more plentiful than in nearly any other place on earth.

The tour was very informative and greatly paced. We spent about an hour at each stop which allowed the tour guide to give us some useful and interesting history for about half of it and the other half was free time for us to take pictures and walk at our own pace. A perfect day to see Nara and kyoto!
