Best Nakamise Dori Street Tours & Trips

One small critique: the dinners are mostly not included. While this allows flexibility, some nights after a long day it would have been nice to have an optional group meal arranged.

Tokyo was spectacular. From Zojoji Temple and Shibuya Crossing to the panoramic views at Tokyo Skytree, the itinerary balanced iconic landmarks with some free time. Subway trips with the guide were easy and stress-free. Perfect mix of structure and flexibility.

Accommodation in both Tokyo and Kyoto was clean and convenient. The guide’s tips for exploring Gion and local dining made our evenings unforgettable.

I really enjoyed the variety of scenery, from the Japanese Alps to traditional villages like Shirakawa-go. Hotels were clean and conveniently located, and the included meals were well organized. Kanazawa and its garden were particularly impressive.
