Just returned from Japan and the experience was outstanding with much credit to the detailed itinerary and communications from the Wanderful Holidays team. We saw and did everything we wanted - the tour covered everything, it was a packed agenda. The tour guides - Jane, Nomi, And Riku - were amazing and catered to our desires. I was really impressed by the Wanderful Holidays team who checked in at EVERY SINGLE POINT during the week, regardless of time zone. They had us covered and made sure every experience went well, every car/train transfer went ok, and they stayed one step ahead to make sure we knew what to expect the next day. They provided detailed steps to make sure everything happened with literally no hiccups. It was beyond my expectations and would recommend them to friends and family. Thank you for a memorable trip.
Japan Highlights by Bullet Train: Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka | 4 StarA great overview of Japan and for the short 5 day tour managed to see all the highlights.
Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka (4 destinations)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.
