Good mix of touristic sightseeing and trail hiking. Public transport was extremely efficient and well-organised. Tour leader David Lam was absolutely excellent, knowledgeable about the temples, shrines, Japanese culture and history, very efficient at logistics, and just an all round nice guy. Pace of trip was not too frantic, so lots of free time to explore or relax.
