Back Roads of Japan

Back Roads of Japan was well-organized and seamlessly operated. Izumi, our amazing tour guide handled all the details with grace and efficiency, making our travel planning stress-free. She provided insights into local culture, history, and geography, enhancing the overall experience. This tour covered exploration of two big cities, Tokyo and Kyoto, as well as visiting smaller sites for hiking, cycling and cultural immersion. Visits to Buddhist temples and Shonto shrines were fascinating. Indulging in a variety of Japanese food was a highlight of the trip.

An amazing experience, just as good as I had imagined.

An awesome adventure to an awesome county. 5stars

Mack provided a memorable experience. The homestay was a highlight. The family showed us many of Hagi's interesting attractions, got to sleep on a matt on the floor and eat traditional food. Excellent.

We had a wonderful time, a knowledgeable, fun but serious guide! We met fellow travellers who have become friends! We feel honoured that we saw Japanese real life!!THANK YOU!!!

Great introduction to Japan, to city life (Tokyo and Kyoto) and the country (snow monkeys were a highlight as was the homestay in Hagi). Mack is the most diligent, thoughtful tour guide I have come across, and I would thoroughly recommend this trip

Overall experience was amazing because Izumi was incredible and I enjoyed the group as well as the people of Japan. Hagi was my favorite; what real Japanese experience and what a wonderful family! Would?ve like one more day in Hagi so I could see the shrine in the picture!!

An excellent overview of Japan ..look forward to my n?ext Japan tour
