Anonymous | Traveled in December
We really enjoyed our trip to Japan! The itinerary allowed us to see most of the main things that we were looking forward to. We would have liked it if going to Tokyo Tower had been part of the itinerary. There was a good variety of optional experiences to choose from as well
Anthony Lamson | Traveled in December
Genuinely it was awesome. Guide spoke really good English and Spanish (our group was mixed). She even warned us about entrance lines, how to avoid crowds. Hotel in Osaka was central, we walked to Dotonbori at night. They left little luxuries—like a funicular ride, boat cruise, cable car. We didn’t worry about anything logistical, very comforting at our age to have hassle-free transfers and everything being ready beforehand.
Ashleigh. S | Traveled in December
Honestly our guide Matt made this trip! I have been on plenty of group tours before and have had all different guides before and Matt absolutely killed this tour! Our group was amazing! Japan was amazing! The whole trip was amazing! I highly recommend intro
Ali. H | Traveled in December

Such a good range of things to do in Japan. Loved going to the big cities + the smaller islands and towns to experience different sides to the country. Our tour guide Clair was lovely & so so helpful. Probably could’ve spent a few more days in some areas such as Hiroshima or Osaka but every day was packed with activities + free time for you to do your own thing.
Liam H. | Traveled in December
Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guides, we had three over the course of our trip, Michiko, David and Pablo who all gave equal information in both Spanish and English Couldn’t have asked for better guides
