I would say that this was the trip of a lifetime! So much was packed into 11days. You are truly immersed in the culture of Japan. I felt emotional when I left because I had just shared this amazing adventure with all these people that I didn’t know, but then got to know. Noriko, again was absolutely exceptional.!!

We enjoyed every minute of it. It combined a wealth of opportunites to get closer to an understanding of the Japanese view of life with many of the 'must see' sites. Add to that the exposure to a fantastic cuisine and a great bunch of fellow travelers, and what more could you ask for?
