I had a brilliant time on my tour of Japan and would definitely recommend it to those who have never been to Japan before but have wanted to go for a long time. We went to all the most famous places, but the best bit was that we almost alwa
..ys went at times when it was a bit quieter. Everyone warned us before going that it was going to be busy because of cherry blossom season, but I get the feeling that the tour was well scheduled to avoid the biggest crowds, which was great. My absolute favourite part of Japan was Kyoto, and I loved the day where we went to the thousand red tori gates and then the kiyomizudera and then had a tea ceremony in kimono. I honestly felt like I was living in a dream that day. A highlight of the trip was also Takayama (and the optional onsen we went to there) and also miyajima island. The deer in Nara were also adorable. This tour is best for those who are happy to walk around a lot and are willing to try new things and experience new food. All of the accommodation was great and the transport was all booked in advance and easy to navigate with the help of our tour guide, Sarah, who was amazing. If I had to change anything about the tour it would be to spend one more day in Takayama and go straight from Osaka to Hiroshima, rather than through Koyasan. I did really enjoy Koyasan and I imagine it would be a highlight for those who are interested in Buddhism or those more spiritual than I am. I personally felt like there was more I wanted to explore and do in Takayama. Read full review
