We loved our entire trip! Our specialist, Eleanor listened to what we were looking for in our trip, and arranged it for us. We loved seeing the usual tourist centers of Tokyo and Kyoto, but really loved the less touristed areas, especially the mountain towns of Tsumago and Narai. The lodgings were great, and the pace was suited to the way we like to travel. Eleanor also provided us with detailed instructions on how to get around, and suggestions of sights to see, since we were traveling independently.
Hotel Reviews
This hotel had an old Japan feel to it, yet with all the comforts. We had a large room with a private onsen, and the dinner that evening was amazing. It was the most enjoyable stay I’ve ever had in a hotel.
We wished we had more time in this place. It was in the woods, somewhat isolated, very quiet and in a beautiful setting. The dinner provided by the hotel was wonderful.
Activity Reviews
This was a good introduction to Tokyo. Our guide was personable and not only showed us the sights, helped us understand some of the cultural nuances that we would have missed on our own. This provided a good base for our further travels in Japan.
At first I thought this would be a little superficial and not very interesting, but our hostess made it fun. We could laugh at ourselves a bit as we tried to go through the proper motions and expressions. It not only added to our cultural understanding, but was fun in the process.
Hi Sandy,
Thanks so much for your kind and detailed feedback! I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the trip and that the hotels worked out so well. It was such a pleasure helping to put this journey together, and I'm glad it's left you with great memories to take home.
All the best,
Eleanor
