This tour is a great introduction to Japan, visiting key sites and cities from the south to the north. Three meals a day, with an excellent range of Japanese cuisine, is offset by around 12k steps a day!
Transport is a mix of Shinkansen and Express trains plus coach journeys. The train services are amazing - wish UK trains were the same!!
Hotels very good and practical experiences (sushi-making, carving, calligraphy, etc) were good fun.
We had the brilliant “Mike” as our guide - incredibly hard-working, knowledgeable and funny.

A very busy trip. Lots to see and do along the way.
You need to be fit and active to complete the site seeing due to the number of steep stairs encountered as you get to the top of the ancient castles.
Plenty of Japanese food, raw fish, individual BBQs, Ramen etc.
Well coordinated by the travel company as getting a group to the correct rail wasn't aways easy at busy stations.
Meet some good fellow travellers (mostly from Oz !)
Could have done with some extra days at the end to unwind and see more of Sapporo ( our train was delayed due to wind and rain- the only bad weather we had during our 21 day trip !)
Loved Japan can't wait to return soon !

Hoishi took great care of us for 23 days, 24 hours a day with nothing to much trouble, I will remember her and Japan for a long time, the Japanese are so proud of their country and have much respect for everyone which cemented the greatest holiday.
We had a trip of a lifetime visiting great places and making memories which will last a lifetime

Thank you Hoishi and Wendy woo

Guides were great! The group was good. The activities were excellent, many of which we wouldn't have done on our own. We saw so much of Japan. Train travel was cool, and not too much coach travel.
The food was almost universally excellent because we like Japanese food.

We found the tour very interesting and comprehensive.
Our guide, Kumiko, was splendid
A great way to tour a country where oral and written language is foreign to us.

One comment/suggestion is it would be nice to have seat rotation on the bus sectors. Some in our group seemed to think the front seats were primarily for them and made sure they frequently had the better seats.

Thank you.

The all inclusive tour was great value and I have recommended the tour to all my friends. Tour guide was sensational and smallish group just perfect.

Very easy to book and contact re queries beforehand. Did not spend ages being passed from pillar to post when telephoned

been with them before

What an amazing, extensive, well organised tour of Japan. Experiencing local cuisine and landmarks and really emerging yourself in the Japanese culture. This tour delivered all my expectations and more. Our travel through the country was impeccable. Coaches were on time and comfortable and riding the bullet trains were a highlight.
Our guide was very friendly , knowledgeable and lead our group in a supportive way. April was a great time to visit Japan. The weather was perfect and the gardens/ blossoms were beautiful.
I would highly recommend this tour with Wendy Wu.
