Contrasts of Japan end Tokyo
4.4
The trip was extremely enjoyable for most part and showed us the urban and rural Japan along with the modern and traditional. We covered tokyo, Mt Fuji, Kyoto,Osaka, Okayama and Hiroshima. The guides were quite knowledgeable though we had 3 guides in 9 days Hotels were good except to the Candeo at Osaka and Hiroshima. Rooms were small and claustrophobic. Also there is one day in kyoto where the sightseeing involves a lot of walking Bamboo forest, Tenyurji, Imperial Palace, Fushimi Inari and at the earliest can end by 3. A small snack served o the bus would be very helpful. 6 meals were included in our tour but they were all similar with sukiyaki and sashimi/ tempura. The other cuisines of Japan were left out. Also, 1 or 2 buffet meals with alternate spread may be ok for outsiders. The option for vegan and vegetarian people was limited to tofu which was not expected in this day and age.The trip does say a lot of walking and we came prepared for that, but in many of the locations the time give is insufficient to cover or even see properly. Also, since the tour allows all age groups,the speed of the seniors/ older persons should be kept in mind.
