By traveler Lynn B. on 2018
I think Day 3 should be broken up into 2 days. We had so much to cover in a time period that it felt rushed in certain places. If it couldn't be broken up into 2 days, I would have preferred to skip the Nishijin Kimono and Ryoanji Temple so I could spend more time at other places.

By traveler Gerta on 2018
Maybe a different ryokan would be good with a hot-spring
Best place visited in this tour: Sensoji Temple

Any place went to visit next time: more temples and tea ceremony
By traveler Sue T. on 2018
The tour was very good. I was surprised day one did not offer some tours but found plenty to do in Odaiba. My one disappointment was not knowing that there were 3 days with access to only overnight bag.
