Tokyo Local culture Trips

I have just returned from the 17-day Japan tour, and I have to say, it was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on! Our group leader, Lachie, was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, you could feel his passion and deep knowledge of Japan. He helped me fall in love with the country in ways I never imagined. Lachie was calm, attentive, and downright amazing. His guidance made this experience unforgettable, and I truly believe this trip wouldn;t have been the same without him. A huge thank you to Intro for providing such an incredible experience. Japan is now officially my number one favorite country

The trip was on the whole very good. The highlight was our Trip Manager, who was very knowledgeable about things to do and places to see in Japan. The itinerary was compressed, but sensible for a weeklong trip in Japan. The one issue was lack of clarity in the initial trip documents about the time of the kick-off meeting on the first day. By the time I was informed, it was too late to change my flight, and I missed the kickoff meeting.

The trip was absolutely incredible—I loved every moment! Our Trip Manager was fantastic and truly went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. I met so many amazing people from all over the world, and exploring Japan together made it even more special. From the day trip to Nara to visiting the stunning shrines and temples in Tokyo and Kyoto, every activity was thoughtfully planned and so much fun. The evening events were a blast too—especially karaoke and our unforgettable final night out at the club. I also really appreciated the group meeting points at the end of each day—it was a great way to unwind and connect with everyone.

if was a good mix of structure and free time. Had things you wouldn't usually find on your own but allowed for us to find things each of us were keen to do/see as well

Enjoyed exploring some of Japan's more popular destinations and experience things that are truly unique to the country. The big cities and small, Loved them both. Though I really got a sense of Japan in the quiet pockets of Tokyo, Takayama, and Kyosan. This is where I could sense the history and people of Japan, and what I had grown up seeing through tv, movies, and books. I would have loved seeing more of this on top of the cities explored, which I also loved.

It was a really good balance of sightseeing, experiences and social stuff. In addition to the planned sightseeing/FTAs, we had a good amount of free time to do our own exploring etc. It was a really great introduction to Japan which made my solo travels afterwards a breeze.
