Cory is an amazing trip planner!! She planned all the details of my family trip to Japan. I have a family of 5 including 3 daughters in their 20's. My family is a demanding client, but we all agreed that this was our best family vacation ever. Not only did Cory plan all the details, but she was available while we were traveling to answer questions. I would highly recommend Cory and KimKim for anybody considering a trip to Japan.

Hotel Reviews
The Prince Park Tower Tokyo
Tokyo

We had 2 rooms which were both very comfortable and roomy. The facilities including the restaurants options in the hotel were excellent. The breakfast buffet was truly outstanding. All the staff we dealt with were courteous and efficient. I give this hotel very high marks and would return.

This is a 3 star hotel likely because it does not have a full service restaurant. But the rooms were spacious, comfortable and well maintained. Breakfast was delivered by room service daily and was very good. The people working at the front desk were all very kind, efficient and helpful. We really enjoyed staying at this hotel.

Another highlight of our trip! The 3 woman (2 sisters and their mother) who taught our private class were excellent. We took our final work product home and will be hanging it on the wall. We will never forget this experience.

Our tour guide was pretty good but a bit hard to understand. I think we could have done this tour on our own without a tour guide.

I'm sure this was good for the right people. Once we started the tour we realized we were not particularly interested in Anime and gaming so we ended the tour early.
