The Simply Japan tour by Explore is a fantastic introduction to Japan, its history, culture, and cuisine. The tour covers lots of ground travelling by train, and we visited lots of different localities. We were blessed to have a wonderful knowledgeable Tour Leader who quite frankly, brought Japan to life for us. Highly recommended.

Loved this tour, it covered all the major sites for a first time visitor and left some free time to follow your own preferences. Tour leader was EXCELLENT and so knowledgeable. Transport links worked fine, we did not have our own tour bus, we used public transport and occasionally sent our luggage on by road, that worked fine. A great trip!
