As it was our first time in Japan we wanted a varied itinerary. We booked our accommodation in Japan and Kyoto but then came up against a few obstacles. Fortunately, the Japan Travel Centre was at hand to sort out our difficulties. Kaoru took infinite pains to plan our route and accommodation. At every stage she was most helpful and we would certainly recommend the services of the Japan Travel Centre. Our holiday was indeed varied and we discovered a lot about Japanese life and culture. The highlight of our trip was a stay with a family in Matsumoto; through them we visited places that we would not otherwise have known about. We also enjoyed the Alpen Route which had been meticulously planned by Kaoru. As 70-year-olds, we thought it could be a challenge but thanks to Kaoru and the Japanese people we met it was an outstanding success. We were even filmed for Japanese TV! (See photo.)
