What people love about Japan Tours from Tokyo
- Highlights of Japan - 7 Days
Well organise tour. Packed full of information about japan's hisrory. Also lots of interesting japanese cultural sights.
- 14 Days Japan Panoramic
I would rate our tour between good and excellent. Good and ok were our hotels. The best one was our Kyoto hotel but we were very pleased with our Osaka one. The mediocre one was Kurashiki Hotel Centurion. The other hotels were good. Our guide was excellent and so was the driver. Our tour allowed us to see a lot and get a good though superficial experience of Japan.
- Japan: Tokyo Nights & Kyoto Temples
Yoshie was an amazing guide. She was kind and caring and made sure everyone needed the help they needed to get around.

Most visitors find that 7-12 days allows enough time to experience Japan's key destinations with 10-day trips being the sweet spot for first-time visitors.
