Everything is beautiful
Lovely people!. Every city/town we visited deserved more time, but within time constraints c we have seen a lot! The recommend extra trip to see Mount Fuji was wonderful, but one has to be lucky with the weather ..
Accommodation was very good. Loved the one night in the old fashioned Japanese hotel. Excellent breakfasts in every hotel.

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.

Cultural treasures of Japan was full of sites and experiences that made a wonderful trip into the past and present of Japan. Excellent tour director shared her knowledge and humour. A great trip by Collette!
Doni was an excellent tour guide and is very knowledgeable about the areas we visited.
We were only a small group and through his leadership we immediately felt like a family.
The only feedback I would like to leave is that it should be included that participants in this tour will be expected to walk 12000 steps on a daily basis, and not always on flat ground. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip but may have reconsidered it due to my health issues.
