Overall satisfaction:

Thursday, May 26, 2016 Updated

All in all, a very wonderful tour!

Best Place Visited on the Japan Tour: Himeji Caslte (But the choice is difficult because there were many wonderful sights)

Best Experience on the Japan Tour: The stay and meal in hot springs at Atami Ryokan Hotel

Want to Visit again/next time: Some more parks in Tokyo. May be interesting to see Harajuku too.
I definitely want to visit Sapporo on Hokkaido next time too.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and appreciated seeing so many wonderful places, experiencing different cultural practices and eating a variety of foods. The guides were very knowledgeable and courteous and really put a lot of effort into making the tour a great experience for us.
The one thing I would have liked was to take a shinkansen between Osaka and Hiroshima as the bus ride was a big long. All in all, a very wonderful tour!
