Best place visited during the tour: Rope-way in Hakone overlooking Ashi Lake
Best experience had in Japan: Seeing the Japanese culture and landscape with wonderful people
Any place you want to visit again/next time: The Electronic City, the hub of technology (Akihabara)
We stayed 2 days before the tour to see Takayama. You may want to add more handicraft stores to the list of sights. I also suggest you ad themed places to eat and visit (Ninja Cafe) Tokyo has many more sights - utilize that. The tour was great and I would do Japan Deluxe Tours again. Our guide Hiroko really made the trip special.
Excellent
The hotels were absolutely fantastic with the service they provided. The people were so kind and helpful that it makes me sad to leave Japan.
Excellent
The meals were amazing, Japanese food stands out from the American equivalent. I particularly enjoyed cultural meals and learning to love green tea.

Hiroko is a wonderful tour guide! My words cannot begin to pain tthe picture of hospitality she has provided to us.
Excellent
We saw deer island and many shrines faithful to Japanese culture. I really liked seeing the mountains and natural landscapes as well as man-made.
Bright color lanterns, music in the air, dancing in the street, and food vendors on every corner can only mean one thing: festival time. The Kyoto Gion Festival stretches for the month of July, climaxing with a parade of 32 floats that can measure up to 25 feet tall, weighing 12 tons. It is easily consider the largest and best festival in Japan.
