Eleanor did a fantastic job helping us (2 people with some physical constraints for touring) for a trip to Tokyo and Kyoto. She steered us away from trying to do too much (a common problem when visiting Japan). She arranged three days with guides, all good, for Tokyo, Kyoto and day trip to Nara, along with suggestions for things to do and where to see cherry blossoms for our self directed days. Guides were flexible and sensitive to our needs for rest, and even found the colorful toilet from the movie "Perfect Days" when we requested that detour.
3 hotels were good, with nice varied breakfasts. Drivers were all punctual and safe.
We had used KimKim before to plan a trip to Colombia, and would use them again (but unfortunately not Eleanor) for trips to other countries.

Hotel Review
Mitsui Garden Hotel Otemachi / Tokyo

The final accommodation near the Imperial Palace was a much better fit for us. The location was ideal for a short walk to the gardens, which we enjoyed on our last day. While the area lacked shops, it provided a peaceful and pleasant environment, better suited to our preferences.

The Sumo Morning Practice Viewing was fascinating! It was intriguing to learn about sumo in an authentic setting. Watching the sumo wrestlers train was intense but very insightful. Even those of us not interested in sumo found it to be a unique experience that we couldn't see at home.
