Essence of Spring (OSA) 7 DaysThank you for the fun tour. Cho-san was a great guide and is very patient with us. The bus drivers were also very helpful. I will certainly come to Japan again.
Real stories from travelers who experienced Japan with us. Premium guided tours since 1983. Showing 1251–1300 of 1865.
Thank you for the fun tour. Cho-san was a great guide and is very patient with us. The bus drivers were also very helpful. I will certainly come to Japan again.
A very good blend of experiences and the guide was fantastic. Very kind and caring - treated us like family.
First time to Japan - Enjoyed tour very much! Cho-san is an excellent guide. She taught me so much about Jappan's history and modern life. Our 2 bus drivers were very friendly and safe drivers. Thanks for a wonderful time.
We absolutely loved Suemia. She is so nice.
Special recommendation to Cho-san for her knowledge about all the places we went. Thank you for a very special and wonderful trip
Excellent tour, efficient, economical, excellent guide and bus driver. For WW2 history, please read 'Retribution', the last two years of the war with Japan by Hastings.
It was the best value money tour we could find. The administration of the tour was well organized. The tour handbook needs to be better organized and edited as there was mistakes. Please correct the order of reading left to right; the order of events, times etc.
Thank you very much for a wonderful trip. Our tour guide Hide-san was very organized and full of interesting facts. Yama-san was most friendly and great bus driver.
It was a pleasure to take this tour (Japan Deluxe tour). The sights chosen to see were for the most part good - my suggestion for the further improvements Himije castle. Leave it out until the renovations are completed - subtitle a longer story in Kyoto and visit Nijo Castle (it's more interesting being on the inside of a castle than looking in front the outside) Kyoto and Nara need more time. Perhaps 2 or even 3 night stay in Kyoto would be better. I would definitely recommend Japan tour to my friends and Travel agent.
This was one of the last tours I have taken, the guide was extremely organized, professional, knowledgeable and made the attractions even more enjoyable. He also provided projects on the long rides which not only make the monotony, but provided background on Japanese culture and history.
Thank you, We had a wonderful vacation.
Recommend 2 days for Kyoto and Nara.
I had a really good time.
The pace of the trip was a bit too fast and I would have liked to have a bit more personal time. I really enjoyed Hide-san's professionalism and humor. The driver, Yamamoto-san was great too.
Dear Hide san, Thank you for making our Japanese holiday memorable and filled with the experience above our expectation. Especially we loved your humor and jokes and all those activities you gave us: Origami, Japanese lessons and singing lesson. Dear Yama san, we looked forward to your happy morning greeting, and your passionate approach to every greeting. We thank you for your driving expertise and safety.
I have really enjoyed this tour and thank Hidesan and Yamoto san for their friendliness, nothing was too much trouble for them. I have found the company to be of excellent standard. My suggestion would be to extend the tour by one day and have a two night stop in Kyoto - Allowing more time to visit attraction, maybe Nara and to give tourists a two night stay midway though. This will allow some free time for laundry, rest etc.
I was completely satisfied. More time in Kyoto and Nara if possible.
We had a vSome suggestions: 1. The bus vehicle was very comfortable - lots of leg room, but the only thing to improve would be a step to help short legged people to get off the bus. 2. The rooms of Japanese style hotel had hard futons to sleep on but it was a good experience. 1. What did you think about the food? (Taste, variety) Only one meal - the Chinese restaurant in Nagasaki was ordinary - below par - must were very good especially the Japanese meals. yummy! 2. Was the tour guide helpful? (Knowledge, communication, attitude) The driver was very happy and an excellent driver, keeping the bus clean and always greeting us each day. He is a happy man! What a great guide Hidesada. He was so well organized, polite, funny and so knowledgeable. We were so lucky to have him. He really made it a great holiday for us. Thank you so much.
The trip is very good value for money, but hectic schedule.
Thank you
With much appreciation to everything our experience one to be shared with family and friends. Arigato!
Thank you very much for a wonderful experience in Japan. This tour is very were organized - the sights we saw were fabulous and the food was amazing. Our tour guide, Hide-san is very professional, organized and so knowledgeable. We will never forget this experience, Thank you. P.S. Katusmi-san, our bus driver, was also a very capable, safe bus driver.
Truly excellent service! Keep us the good work. Every day, even if rainy, was relaxing and memorable.
I had a great time. You may want to have all tour participants introduce themselves when guide introduces themselves.
I would like to travel with you guys again.
Had an amazing time, our guide and bus driver were great. Our tour guide, Hide-san and driver are really kind, funny, amazing people.
Our tour guide, Hide and bus driver are the best we have ever had and are an excellent team. Hide-san would sometimes have the entire bus laughing with his jokes and Kazumi-san would always make us smile. Hide-san even helped me find a place to propose to my girlfriend.
I was very satisfied with the tour. My guide Hide was especially good. He was very patient and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to others.
Our tour guide, Hide-san was very informative. Thank you.
The first and last hotels were excellent, but the middle hotel were not at the same level. Our tour guide, Hide-san took good care of our family and we appreciated his patience.
Not enough time to spend at each location to do the activity and shop (usually only had 10-15 min) Spent a lot of time on the bus (from Mt. Fuji to Tokyo). Don't know if we could have taken the bullet train and had the bus meet up with us later. We could have arrived earlier and walked around Tokyo. He helped research things and find what we were looking for.
We very much appreciated the attention to our special dining needs - we are vegetarian, and never had to worry. Also, the level of organization and ability to adapt to weather - induced itinerary changes were excellent. Both our guide and driver were terrific.
This was a wonderful way to see a lot of the country in a very short time, I enjoyed all of the sites and activities, but especially liked the tea ceremony. I would like to extend a special thanks to guide-san and driver-san for taking such good care of us.
The tour was awesome - our guide, Mr. Hide and bus driver were fantastic. Couldn't have asked for better people.
The tour was so interesting. I loved everywhere we went and I want to return to Japan on my own someday.
We are very pleased with our anime Japan tour experience with Japan Deluxe Tours! Will recommend your Japan tours to our friends!
Overall, an amazing experience. Possibly get more time in looking at sites, because they are so interesting.
When making an itinerary, please try to estimate the time necessary for each activity.
Our tour guide and bus driver really made the tour of Japan something special. Thank you Japan Deluxe Tours for having them guide us. Rating 9/10

All events were scheduled for maximum enjoyment through out this Japan tour Rating: 9/10
it was good that the tour guide was helpful.
Appreciated the way our tour guide Rocky changed the schedule due to weather problems. Our tour guide Hide-san was exceptionally good. Good time on your tour of Japan. Thanks again
Rocky kept the group moving efficiently. I think the tour days were too long.
The bus driver was an exceptional driver and extremely courteous. He went out of his way to help my family. Ms. Cho was friendly and sweet to all - one hint = when explaining where landmarks are (when traveling in a bus) it would be helpful if she said if it is on the right or left side of the bus. Also, if travel times were mentioned to us. (ex = 30 min, 2 hours, etc.)
First class. Hotels were great. Some places a bit rushed, however amazing number of places covered in 4 days. Our tour guide, Cho was outstanding: she kept things smooth and despite a lot of time pressure. Tour worth the money. I would recommend to anyone.
Wonderful tour of Japan. Thank you Japan Deluxe Tours! Rating: 5/5
