Japan Budget Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 28 customer reviews
Got to see a good range of Japan.
5 - Excellent
  • Scott Hillerby
“Japan was a place I was intimidated to travel to on my own. I'm so happy I found this trip! I would not have been able to plan something on my own that flowed so easy from one place to the other! From the secluded mountain region to bustling streets in Tokyo, I feel like I got to see a good range of Japan. The food was also delicious.”
The best Japanese adventure we could have hoped for
5 - Excellent
  • Kelly Cruickshank
“We booked this trip to celebrate a birthday and we were not disappointed! The trip was well organised, the activities were great fun, and everywhere we stayed was comfortable and welcoming. Sammi was an excellent guide!”
Everything was excellent!
5 - Excellent
  • Joe Shepherd
“I've visited Japan before, but I'd never seen the variety of things I was able to see during this tour. The food was incredible! I took so many awesome videos and pictures throughout this trip! One highlight for me was the Samurai experience and seeing snow monkeys. I could go on and on about all the activities, everything was excellent!”
