We have traveled around the world but our visit to Japan was one of our best trips so far. We have seen so many wonderful sites, both man-made and nature-made, that have exceeded our expectation. From a beautiful and very modern cities of Tokyo and Osaka through more traditional places such as Kanazawa and Kyoto, we experienced the new styles and ways of living with the old traditions. We will never forget the skyscrapers of Tokyo and Osaka and their amazing skylines and vibrant night life. But also, we will always remember the honesty and openness of people who helped us navigate the subway and train system in many cities. What surprised me the most were the lavish and green forests with many familiar and unfamiliar species of flora and fauna. We enjoyed hiking the Old Takayama Road with an amazing views of Mount Fuji, taking a boat trip across a lake in Hakone, visiting many Japanese gardens and learning the skills of making the matcha tea, ramen noodles and sushi.
The food was superb in every place we visited. The sweetness of strawberries that we bought at the local markets was the highlight of our culinary experiences. Although we wish that some of our hotels were in a better localizations or the rooms were a bit bigger, Simon tried to solve the problems and provided solutions to our satisfaction.
Our tour guides, specifically Slash and Johnny were superb! We enjoyed Johnny’s sense of humor and Slash’s gentle and patient guidance!
All of our drivers were courteous, prompt and punctual. Thank you!
We highly recommend taking this trip!

The honesty and kindness of the locals, the breathtaking views of Mount Fuji along the Old Takayama Road, and the immersive cultural experiences like matcha tea and sushi-making truly capture the essence of Japan, and we’re delighted they resonated with you.

We’re also so glad you loved the culinary highlights—those sweet Japanese strawberries are truly unforgettable! Your feedback about the hotels is invaluable, we’ll certainly keep your notes in mind to further refine future itineraries.

A special thank you for your shout-out to Slash and Johnny! Their passion for sharing Japan’s wonders—whether through humor or patient guidance—is something we truly cherish, and we’ll make sure they see your kind words.
