REVIEWS

We used a comination of rail and car travel outside of the urban areas e.g. Kamikochi. Public transport is fantastic and driving within urban areas is not recommended but gives greter freedom in rural locations. We did alot or research in advance to plan our route, but JapanTravel were fantastic in making most of the arrangements and answering all our questions. We even has some on the ground support from their local representative in Fukuoka which was completely unexpected and very very helpful. We recommend Japan Travel highly.

Perfect organisation and local support from Sunrise agents - we felt very well looked after. The tour covered all the most must-see places and the main focus on historical sites and gardens was just what we wanted. It was a slight pity only that with such a packed programme there was often too little time at many of the places. The four journeys with the Shinkansen were great experiences. Hotel quality was very high and exceeded our expectations. The visit to Hiroshima was very moving and we were really happy that it was included. All in all a wonderful experience for a first visit to Japan and this 9 day tour is highly recommended.

We had a most enjoyable trip to Japan! We enjoyed staying in Ryokan, Onsen (open air bath!), Japanese hospitality, Japanese food, visiting beautiful temples … Japan has so much to offer! We cannot wait to go back!   

Thanks for the JR pass, I was able to visit lots of places. It really cost affective if you are planning to visit several cities within the period. Okonomiyaki at Hiroshima was really good.
