For those eager to immerse themselves in Japan’s history and daily life, this trip delivers depth and discovery.
From the neon lights of Tokyo to the peaceful temples of Kyoto, Japan was incredible. Riding the bullet train was a highlight, and the cherry blossoms in Osaka were breathtaking!
The Japan explorer tour was in both English and Spanish. The tour also saw a mix of people joining and leaving during the tour. The Itinerary was great and the hotels were good. The Monastery stay was really interesting. The only reason I rated this tour 4 stars instead of 5 is that with the mix of English and Spanish and our guide from Spain with a Spanish accent, it was sometimes hard to understand some of his commentaries.
Very organized Japan tour. Tour Leader was very informative. Best hotels. Stunning places. Will book again.
