Angel did an excellent job to tailor the trip to our requirements. She adapted the planning based on our continous feedback and once we were on the trip she kept in touch to ensure we had the logistical details for the next day activities (if any). We did some on the go changes due to the weather and also based on things we saw while in the trip that we wanted to explore and had not originally planned
Overall we had a fantastic holiday thanks to her!

Hotel Review
Hakone Kowakien Ten-yu
Hakone

Excellent hotel and facilities. Only negative point is they are not flexible with check-in/out which considering the category I would have expected them to be more accepting. FYI the public onsen on site does not allow people with tattoos (which is the case in other places too) and the private onsen though nice feel more like a bathtub than anythign else.

Tokyo

Very nice tour, though the heavy rain altered the plans significantly and the Skytree visit was a bust as there was close to 0 visibility and no refund possible as per policy. Ueno park and Akihabara were very nice, while the Meiji Shrine we had to vist on our own the following day but is clearly one of the highlights of the city. I was surprised we were not taken to Sensi-jo temple which is another increible site to visit (we went on our own late that day). Our guide, Toru, was very good though the rain did mess up his plans. He took us to have an incredible sukiyaki lunch which was one of the best experience of our trip.

Really nice experience in a small group. Ai and Alice were fantastic not only in teachign us some basic japanese recipes but also about the tranditions and histroy behind it. Our food was simple but very good and tasty. The size of the group was good (7 in total)
