1. How would you rate the accommodations? (Comfort, cleanliness, location)

Very Good

Liked the view at Rihga Royal and the convenience to shopping. Grand Pacific also very convenient to shopping and nice area. Not much to do dose by though. Sheraton was very rice.

2. What did you think about the food? (Taste, variety)

Fair

My wife and I are foodies. Also health nuts, so food was ok and definitely a good representation of different styles of food. I appreciated having breakfast buffet every morning. Breakfast and Kaiseki at Hamanako was least favorite. Kamameshi and Hiroshima Okonomiyaki were favorites. Maybe a list of recommendation or website to visit would be helpful. Outside favorites : Doria restaurant in Tokyo, Kobe beef at Dining by Itoh in Kyoto, Fugu in Osaka

3. Was the tour guide helpful? (Knowledge, communication, attitude)

Excellent

Very knowledgeable and friendly! I liked his pace and energy.

4. How would you rate the sightseeing spots we have visited? (Favorite place, least favorite)
