Unforgettable Trip to Japan
Japan

Apr 2 - Apr 11, 2026
Adeline created a comprehensive itinerary for our recent Japan trip that included everything we wanted to see and do, including the famous Guitar Street in Tokyo, temples/shrines in Kyoto and beautiful cherry blossoms in Kanazawa. Adeline's insight and guidance has been invaluable to us. She prepped us on how to navigate the complexities of the metro system in Tokyo, organized our bullet train tickets for Kanazawa and Kyoto and even booked us a seat on the side of the train for one of our train trips that allowed us to luckily see Mount Fuji! Our guides Carol (in Tokyo) and Nao (in Kyoto) were wonderful - so incredibly knowledgeable and kind! Our private tour with Nao was particularly memorable as he took us the outskirts of Kyoto to the lesser known temples and shrines where there were no crowds and we were able to enjoy the peace and tranquility of being in those religious spaces. He also expounded on the philosophical and religious traditions (namely Shintoism, Taoism and Zen Buddhism) that impact Japanese culture and practices. It was a very eye-opening and informative tour! We are already excited to book another trip to Japan in the future!
Hotel Review
Centrally-located and accessible thanks to the nearby train station! We enjoyed evenings overlooking the Kyoto skyline from the rooftop and early mornings at the public onsen. The staff was courteous and responsive. The amenities were top-notch. We would definitely love to stay at Sora Niwa Terrace again!
Hi Janel, thank you so much for the thoughtful review! I'm so glad that you guys had a great time in Japan, and that you were able to explore some quieter spots with your guides and get more insight into Japanese culture.
