The Japan highlights tour gave me a little bit from every part of Japan and definitely gave me the knowledge I needed to plan my next trip and figure out where my fav parts of Japan were. Can’t wait to go back to Akhibara!

Winter in Japan is pure magic — crisp air, glowing cityscapes, and landscapes dusted in snow. Imagine the iconic red of Asakusa Temple peeking through a fresh white blanket, or Tokyo’s streets twinkling with festive lights. Now, trade the crowds for Hokkaido’s pristine wilderness, where untouched powder makes it feel like you have the whole place to yourself. Trek through national parks on snowshoes, dive into the rich traditions of the Ainu Indigenous community, and warm up with some of the best food you’ve ever tasted after a day of adventure. If Japan in winter isn’t on your bucket list yet, it absolutely should be.

Our tour of eight from the UK and the US literally ate our way around Japan. Our leader, Dean, was outstanding and interpreted, guided, and answered all our many questions with patience and good humor. This is listed as an "Active" trip and my pedometer said I walked 87 miles the second week of the tour, and the first week was similar. I am 70 and thought I was in good shape but my legs were very tired at the end of each day. I particularly liked our stay in Takayama at a minshuku. The smaller city was a welcome break from the crowds of Tokyo.

I really liked this trip, though I wish we stayed in Busan for at least another night. Both the Contiki and Korean guides were great, there were a few add-ons in each city to choose from and I definitely feel like I learned more about Korea than if I'd gone to the country without doing a Contiki tour. Thank you Joey and Lina!
