Mt. Fuji 5th Station offered breathtaking views of the iconic mountain. Despite the chilly weather, the scenery was spectacular. It's an excellent spot for photography and experiencing Japan's natural beauty.
The Iwatayama Monkey Park was a unique experience. It was amazing to see the playful monkeys up close and enjoy stunning views of Kyoto from the mountaintop. A must-visit!

The highlights for me were the visit to Koyasan and its spiritual atmosphere, along with the scenic beauty of Hakone. Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park was deeply moving. Our guide was knowledgeable, and having 19 meals included was a great b..onus – it made the trip worry-free when it came to dining. This was my first time traveling with a small group, and it made the experience more intimate and enjoyable.Read full review

The Higashi Chaya District transported us to another era. The traditional teahouses and narrow, cobbled streets were picturesque and full of history. We enjoyed a tea ceremony in one of the teahouses, which was a serene and cultural experie..nce not to be missed.Read full review

Japan’s cities, countryside, and historical sites all came alive through our guide’s storytelling. I especially loved the time in Kyoto and Osaka – such a vibrant contrast between old and new. The itinerary was well thought out, and 1..9 meals were more than enough to keep us satisfied throughout the journey. I felt like I got a true taste of Japan's culture, food, and history in just 17 days.Read full review
Anyone thinking about doing the japan trip don;t think just do it. The group was amazing and we have 2 amazing tour leaders the support you get at the end to help with onward travel was very helpful.

Shirakawa Village was like a scene from a postcard with its traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses and snow-covered landscapes. The village's unique architecture and picturesque setting made it a standout destination on our tour. It felt like.. stepping into a winter wonderland.Read full review
The endless path of vibrant red torii gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is awe-inspiring. Climbing up Mt. Inari through these gates was a magical experience.
Exploring Nagoya Castle was like stepping back in time. The historical significance of this place is palpable. Don't miss the beautiful gardens surrounding the castle!
I do declare, Elmer is a 5 star tour guide! His in depth knowledge of the local culture in Japan is unmatched! Very helpful to myself as Ive never been so far East of the Mississippi.
