Paul | Traveled in October
Great trip - good to stay in traditional accommodation on two nights - although getting up from bed required concentration! Very efficient use of public transport and good mix of guided and self guided.
Karen | Traveled in October
If you have never been to Japan before and you are looking for a tour that will give you a taste of the country, this is the tour for you. I had an amazing time, thanks to our wonderful guide Geoffrey. Be prepared for a lot of walking and a few early morning starts as this is a discovery tour!
Andrew | Traveled in October
Excellent holiday. Andy our guide was friendly, very knowledgeable & managed the itinerary perfectly. The holiday was "full on" with lots of moving but we were fully aware of this from the itinerary it was all handled very smoothly.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
Had a fantastic trip - Dean our guide was knowledgeable and approachable and thoroughly good company. The group of sixteen got on well together. The itinerary was excellent with a good balance of guided activities and free time. We covered a lot of ground from city to city but hardly scraped the surface of such a wonderful country - so much more to see and do!
Roxana B. | Traveled in October

Absolutely amazing trip. Sam our guide was phenomenal, his knowledge and insight in to Japanese culture was second to none. His infectious enthusiasm for showing us not only the sights on the tour, but other little nuggets made the trip exceptional. We had a fabulous group of fellow travellers. This was our first ever group tour holiday, and we will be doing this again for sure with Explore. Organisation was spot on, accommodation perfect and the transport arrangements, forwarding of luggage, all went without a hitch. Sam made the trip for us, it wouldn’t have been the same without him!
