Just the start of car service to the airport and car service waiting for you on return is wonderful...car service waiting at arrival to take you to the hotel and when departing, car service back to the airport...there is a greeting dinner and a farewell dinner...and of course everything in between...the transportation to every city by bus or bullet train and the scheduling for arriving and departing hotels and meals is so easy to follow...touring the places that were of interest gave us a variety...food streets, temples, Hiroshima, making your own sushi, museums, tea ceremony, nature walks, mineral baths...and of course all my fellow travelers who were wonderful...
