We had an amazing trip to Japan! We visited Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Our guides Eric, Eiichi and Hiroshi were all knowledgeable, passionate, and highly accommodating to all of our needs. The sites we saw, activities we did, and food we ate, were all fantastic....it's hard to pick out the highlights.

The best part of working with kimkim was our specialist, Ben. If we could give him 6 stars, we would. Ben started with a great itinerary, gracefully answered our many, many questions and changes, and was incredibly responsive. We'd never been to Japan before, so we had tons of questions and details we wanted to understand. Ben answered them quickly, and thoroughly. We felt very assured prior to, and during our trip, that everything was covered, and we were hitting all the highlights we were most interested in. We can’t say enough good things about Ben. He was fantastic to work with.

We will definitely use kimkim again, and when we do, we’ll ask for Ben.

Dear Barry and Karen,

Wow, thank you so much for such an incredible review! I read every word, and I honestly can't tell you how much it means to me. Your “6 stars” comment really made my day! 😊

I'm so happy that you had such a wonderful time exploring Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, and that Eric, Eiichi, and Hiroshi helped make your experience so special. I'll definitely share your lovely words with them and the rest of our team. I know they'll be just as touched as I am!

It was truly a pleasure planning your first trip to Japan. I enjoyed all your questions and ideas along the way, and knowing that you felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the journey is the best reward I could ask for.

Thank you again for your trust, kindness, and incredibly generous words. And hearing that you'd ask for me again on your next trip means the world to me!

Whenever Japan calls you back, I'll be delighted to help you explore even more of this beautiful country.

Warmest regards,
Ben
