Great job Japan Deluxe Tours!! Thank you

Best Place Visited on the Japan Tour: Hakone Open Air Museum & Takayama & Onsens

Best Experience on the Japan Tour: being here with my family and learning about Japanese culture

Want to Visit again/next time: rest of Japan, esp Hiroshima

Overall we really enjoyed out rip. We went to many great places and were well taken care of and very comfortable. It did feel rushed though at times.
I would have liked to have more time to visit the gardens, Asakusa, and at the markets in Kyoto. Pace was too quick to really take great photos and there was no time to shop beyond the touristy shops.
We saw the "highlights" but weren't able to spend enough time at any one of the,. So I guess that means we have to come back! Great job Japan Deluxe Tours, driver san, and especially Hide san!!
Thank you, Arigato Gozaimasu!

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

Very Good

We were able to experience Japanese style as well as western style. We LOVED the onsens!

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

Good

We had breakfast included but I don't think we were able to really experience Japanese food outside of the hotel meals due to time constraints

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

Excellent

Hide san was a wonderful, kind, funny, and very patient guide.
He explained everything very well in advanced and treated everyone with respect and kindness

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