Japan & the Scenic South

Monday 23 Oct 2023

Overview Rating:

Our Tour: Excellent

This tour is superb. The pace is very easy, so suitable for slower walkers! The food is very varied, a few western cuisine meals but more Japanese ( local) meals, a lot of variety. I love Japanese food, so was very happy. Visiting Kyushu ( the southern island) is a rare destination on most Japanese tours and indeed we did not see any foreign tourist there. When we crossed to Hiroshima and headed to Kyoto and Tokyo, we saw other foreign tourist groups. The sights are both inspiring and even awesome and I would highly recommend this tour.

Journey through Japan

Our Tour: Excellent

We had been planning to travel on this tour since 2020 & eventually made it this year.
The wait was certainly worth it & all the places visited and sightseeing opportunities we experienced exceeded our expectations.
Michiko, our guide was brilliant, very knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humour.
The whole tour was well paced throughout but we would have liked an extra night in Kyoto making the tour 15 days as opposed to 14.

Japan Uncovered

Our Tour: Excellent

My husband and I thought this was one of the best holidays we have ever had. It was very well organized with us seeing the cherrry blossoms, riding the bullet train, seeing the macaque monkeys, Mount Fuji and making paper. We saw all three capital cities - Nara, Kyoto and Tokyo and learned all about the history. We even learned a little Japanese - all thanks to the excellent guide we had. We enjoyed the Japanese food and it suited my stomach, even though at times I was not sure what I was eating! I loved the heated toilet seats. Can't say I was very keen on matcha tea.

Service rating :

The tour in Japan was fantastic, everything was well organised and the sites are just amazing.
The service beforehand was ok, a bit frustrating at times to wait for Wendy Wu to find the cheapest flight!

Product :

The tour was fantastic, probably one of the best tours I have done so far (and I do travel a lot). All the activities, hotels , the full 100% cherry blossoms in Kyoto and Himeji castle, Fuji in the sun and in clouds, the charming Maiko, the variety of food, the group who made me laugh all the time, and the lovely Akiko, our guide were wonderful.
