Customer Reviews
- Melanie· April 21st, 2025We saw all the highlights of Japan and were lucky to be there when the cherry blossom was in full bloom! Our guide, Marco, successfully managed to get 14 of us around the Tokyo metro, on trams, local trains, bullet trains and ferries! He was full of interesting information about the country and its people. The accommodation was good. I particularly loved the guesthouse, where the owner prepared us an amazing banquet!Show more
- wendy· April 18th, 2025This itinerary was superb and comprehensive. I did a lot of research on Japan and tour companies and Explore! Simply Japan exceeded my expectations. The tour was small and fast paced and perfectly timed. I wouldn't have done anything different. Thank you Dean for your extensive knowledge of Japan and your willingness to answer questions with sincere attention.Show more
- Daniel· April 12th, 2025Overall this trip was good, some confusion due to the guide never having led this tour before. She could have used a bit more coaching, her mentor was not very good in training her to lead a group of people, not her fault. Staying in a monastery was interesting but the home stay was a bust. Sleeping on the floor with a 4 inch mat is for high school kids, not retirees. The "home stay" meal was also a disappointment. Stayed at a new place that didn't include dinner so we went to a local restaurant that gave everyone a bento box dinner that included 5 wafer thin slices of beef that you could almost see through over slightly warm rice. After dinner, everyone went to the local 7-11 to buy more food - shame on Explore! Not much personal time and lots of quick walking to make trains, buses, trams. Pretty rushed.Show more
