Great experience! We saw wonderful parts of Japan, including Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, and Hiroshima. The hotels were wonderful! Our travel director was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. My advice to Trafalgar is to reduce the number of visits to temples and shrines. Maybe allow more free time. Also, there were too many set Japanese meals with no options.

I loved this trip. I enjoyed every minute of it. Jose was a great guide. He was very informative. He made sure everyone was looked after. There was just enough touring and spare time. And David Solanes was brilliant. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
