What people love about Japan Tours from Tokyo
- Highlights of Japan - 7 Days
Great value for money .The accommodation was more than adequate and the tourist spots you see are exactly the same as more expensive tours.
- 14 Days Japan Panoramic
The tour is packed with almost all of the most famous sites of Japan. We got to see Mt.Fuji, Nara, Kyoto, and Tokyo. There was quite some walking involved. We are glad to do this tour together. The itinerary was well designed. Hotels were comfortable.
- 13-Day Japan Tour: Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka & Beyond
Fabulous experience on this tour!!! I don't think that I would have seen and done as much as I did if going on my own through Japan. Shanna was an excellent tour leader and was ever so patient and accommodating to the group's wants and needs!!! I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, enthusiastic and outgoing leader!! The accommodations met and even exceeded my expectations at some locations. I would recommend the Tokyo to Tokyo tour to anyone who wants a truly backpackers experience.
