The week my wife, son and I spent in Japan was the best holiday of our lives. Japan is a city of contrasts, from the busy and futuristic downtown area of Hakata to the quiet and peaceful traditional village of Akizuki. Everywhere we went people were friendly and helpful, and we had no trouble making our way around the country despite our limited knowledge of the Japanese language. The highlight of our trip had to be staying at the Seiryuan Ryokan in Akizuki; the gardens there were stunning, the food was exquisite, and the staff bent over backwards to make us feel welcome and to see to our every need. It had begun to snow as we arrived, and when we stepped into the dining room for our meal we were greeted with the most beautiful view through the picture window; the koi pond surrounded by snow covered trees was like something out of a fairy tale. We are already planning our return trip for 2019!
Japan Travel centre were very supportive all the way, tailoring our itinerary to my specific requirements and quickly making any revisions I requested, as well as providing plenty of information to enable us to travel to our various destinations within Japan. We will definitely be booking through them again.
