I travelled as a Exodus staff member - this was fantastic trip that showcased a diverse side of Japan beyond the major cities. The itinerary was well balanced, the food was incredible, and every destination offered something unique. Highlights included staying in a traditional guesthouse in Nikko, relaxing in a private onsen, and visiting places like Gion and Miyajima. Highly recommended.

ITINERARY WAS EXCELLENT, HOTELS WERE MOSTLY GOOD, TWO DID NOT HAVE RELIABLE WIFI, OR DIDN'T HAVE WIFI AT ALL, A PROBLEM WHEN YOU'RE AWAY FROM FAMILY. THERE WERE DAYS WHEN TRAFALGAR ONLY PROVIDED ONE MEAL, BREAKFAST, I HADN'T HAD THAT EXPERIENCE BEFORE WITH TRAFALGAR, WHO USUALLY PROVIDED TWO MEALS EVERYDAY.
Thelma S. | Traveled in June
