Winter Discovery | Snow Monkey (OSA) 7 DaysIt was a fantastic tour. Both guides did an outstanding job showing us how Japan truly is a wonderful country. Japan Deluxe Tours gives you the one-of-a-kind experience of Japanese food, culture, history, and friendliness. It was a wonderful trip and woud want me to come back to Japan one day again.

Golden Route of Japan | Anime 9 DaysI will definitely recommend Japan Deluxe Tours if possible, Hide-san and Chiko-san as their tour guides.

Harrison J.(United States) ★★★★★
Winter Discovery | Snow Monkey (OSA) 7 DaysOverall, this Japan trip was an adventure of a lifetime and an insight into Japanese culture. My favorite sites were the Fushimi Inari Shrine, Todaiji temple, the Golden Pavilion, Snow Monkey Park in Nagano, and Sensoji temple in Asakusa, Tokyo.

Ellen C.(United Kingdom) ★★★★★
Winter Discovery | Snow Monkey (OSA) 7 DaysNeed to advise guests that they need overnight bag prior to the tour start. Should also advise how long the transfer is on the Snow Monkey trip (10 hours round trip). This should be advised in the pre departure information not the day before. Would advise departing earlier for Snow Monkey tour. Leaving the hotel at 8:30am was too late and meant we didn't arrive at the park until 2pm.
Russell C.(United Kingdom) ★★★★☆
Winter Discovery | Snow Monkey (OSA) 7 DaysThe long drive for the snow monkey trip was not explained beforehand. We should have left much earlier such as 7am (Breakfast was from 6:30) and also taken a packed lunch from the hotel. That way we would have been back by 7pm. The hotel in Tokyo was not in a great location- not walkable to any of the main visitor sights.
Juliana P.(United States) ★★★★☆
Winter Discovery | Snow Monkey (OSA) 7 DaysI recommend giving timeframes so we know how to schedule our day.

Winter Discovery | Snow Monkey (OSA) 7 DaysExcellent tours! I was looking for a tour to accommodate my 3 college age children during their winter break. This Japan tour filled all the criteria. Experienced all the culture of Japan, the food, the sights from Hiroshima, Himeji Castle, Kyoto, Mt. Fuji, and Tokyo. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone. The tour guides kept us informed of all aspect of the tour. And Hide (Hidesada) kept us laughing with his sense of humor!

Highlights of Japan Tour 6 DaysThe tour, our guide Hiro, and her assistants Lisa and Kay were fantastic! The tour was a great combination of sight seeing and cultural experiences. We had sufficient amounts of time at each stop and the the guides provided lots of information I felt we wouldn't have learned in a guide book. The accommodations were excellent especially the onsen/hot spring hotel. I would highly recommend this tour and Hiro for anyone looking to explore and learn about Japan!
Grant & Christina Higuchi ★★★★★
Takayama Festival | Grand Tour (AUT) 15 DaysWe had a wonderful time on your Grand Tour from 10/6 to 10/20/19. This was our first group tour and we were pleasantly surprised how smoothly it went considering we had 3 groups during the first week; the last portion of tour went down to 13. Everyone was nice and we all had fun and got along well. The variety of sites we visited, gave us a wonderful cross section of the history of Japan, some being one of a kind and others offering fun and entertainment. We were impressed with the cleanliness of Japan and their gracious formalities; the country and landscape is breathtaking. The bus rides were a bit long but we understood our tour included a large portion of Japan from Tokyo to Kyushu and more, and as such, it was very necessary. We are looking forward to another unique tour to explore the northern areas of Honshu. Thank you, again, Japan Deluxe Tours.

Mr. Louie ★★★★★
Highlights of Japan 7 DaysJapan Deluxe Tours was one of the best decisions we made when planning for our trip. The value we got was amazing and the tour included experiences we would have never thought of. The guides were great and we had no problems on the tour. Would highly recommend Japan Deluxe Tours & all the guides to family and friends. Thank you for making our 1st trip to Japan so memorable and fun. We can't wait to come back and will definitely look for a Japan Deluxe Tour to explore the rest of Japan.
Wendi K. ★★★★☆
Highlights of Japan | Hiroshima 9 DaysThe first day of tour was a little rushed because of weather (pouring rain). Not sur eif you have the ability to have an alternate itinerary when the weather impacts tours. Hiroko was an awesome tour guide. Lisa was great, too. It was such a great experience. Thank you for everything!
Gene W. ★★★★☆
Highlights of Japan | Hiroshima 9 DaysA great tour that was really driven by Hiro. She made the tour a great experience. The group was a little larger than I had hoped but overall it worked out. We kept on schedule and really enjoyed all aspects of our time in Japan.
The Ebner Party ★★★★☆
Highlights of Japan | Hiroshima 9 DaysBefore the tour, we had one night in Tokyo. We went on an izakaya tour on our own in Shinjuku and enjoyed it. During the day, we saw the Skytree Tower --> we could have skipped that! Glad it wasn't part of the main tour. Hiro kept us informed, on schedule, etc, yet still accommodated all of us! She also knew the best shopping + picture sights. She was the best guide we ever had!!
Mr. Nishikawa (D) ★★★★★

Highlights of Japan | Hiroshima 9 DaysLights in the bus should be off (or low) at night (when it gets dark) so we can see outside better. Bathroom breaks were good - we had many opportunites to "go"

Lisa L. ★★★★☆
Anime Pioneer Adventure 5 DaysThank you all so much for your help, especially with helping us arrange our transportation to Osaka. We couldn't do it without you! You have all been lovely and very knowledgable. I chose the anime tour because we were travelling with our kids and they loved it. I would have come for the longer tour if I was by myself because it sounds like you were doing some amazing cultural destinations. I would do that next time I come.

Belinda B. ★★★★★
Highlights of Japan | Anime 9 DaysAs a returning guest, I thoroughly enjoyed my tour again. Hiro and Lisa were amazing guides - so friendly and helpful. Even though I went to similar places to my previous JDT tour I was able to learn different things having different guides at the cultural sights and I was happy to be returning to the well known anime areas for shopping. We spent more time in the anime areas than my previous tour which was greatly appreciated. The hotels were amazing, the food was amazing. I'll definitely be returning to Japan with JDT as the process is so easy and the quality of tours is excellent.
R. Rapisarda ★★★★★
Highlights of Japan | Anime 9 DaysIt was a really great tour. I feel like the doujin community is an important part of anime subculture that wasn't really highlighted, especially in Akihabara where you need to know where to look
Pomai G. ★★★★★
Highlights of Japan | Anime 9 DaysThanks to Hiroko, we had the best time. She is very knowledgable and friendly. She always greets us with a smile and always helps us with anything we need. We appreciated all her facts and taking us to her favorite spots. Thank you Hiroko, Lisa, Miho, and Yamanaka. We are very grateful to you for such a wonderful trip. I will definitely recommend japan Deluxe Tours.

Highlights Of Japan | Anime Hiroshima 11 DaysThis trip has been a once in a lifetime experience for myself and my husband. Amazing guides! Amazing itinerary! It provided a good "taste of Japan." I will highly recommend Japan Deluxe Tours for anyone who wants to come to Japan back at home.
The Lorenzo Family ★★★★★
Highlights Of Japan | Anime Hiroshima 11 DaysWe would have liked to have seen samurai armor and weapons; and been taken to Skytree Tower as part of the tour. However, Hiroko did a great job of keeping the tour running and allowing us to see every sights. We would recommend this tour to anybody as a first tour of Japan.
The Bassett Party ★★★★★
Takayama Festival | Grand Tour (AUT) 15 DaysIt has always been my dream and wish to visit Japan and I am so glad i did this tour. Japan was so beautiful. Everything from their scenery (breath taking), buildings (amazing), food (delicious, healthy and so pretty with presentation), and people are just so nice and appreciative. I will definitely go there again.
the Perez Party ★★★★☆
Takayama Festival | Hidden Village (AUT) 9 DaysLovely way to explore Japan. Get a mix of both city and rural Japan. Hiroko and Mihoko made a great team and provided a ton of great information and insights to both Japanese culture and life.

Traditional Japan - Highlights of Japan Tour | Hiroshima 8 DaysWe just ended our “Highlights of Japan/Hiroshima” tour and absolutely loved it. Japan Deluxe Tours is the way to go for a land tour of Japan. Rocky was our tour guide and he did an excellent job. He spoke great English, was very knowledgeable and attentive. All the hotels were fantastic along with wonderful breakfast buffets that had a large variety for all. Tour destinations were amazing. Perfectly paced and packed with experiences that will last a lifetime. The only tour we didn’t care for was the Sake distillery. Although informative, we don’t drink, But others liked it very much. We enjoyed the tea ceremony. Food, well it’s really about taste. We enjoyed most of it. (Like Teppan-yaki, sushi, and Okonomiyaki. The more “traditional” Japanese meals were) the rest was an experience lol. We learned so many customs and the history of each stop. Tokyo, Shibuya Crossing, all the shrines and temples, museums, Mount Fuji, rickshaw ride, Kyoto, lunch with a Maiko, Nara deer park, Himeji Castle, Hiroshima (must see!), all the history we learned about. All the beautiful places we saw and lots of time to shop as well. It was all a great experience! We would definitely recommend Japan Deluxe Tours. They went out of there way to help us with our travel plans
The Makowski Party ★★★★★
Highlights of Japan | Anime 9 DaysWonderful tour that covered the highlights of Japan both modern and traditional! Something fun for everyone. My friend and I loved the pop culture infused hustle and bustle of Tokyo and my fiancé loved the traditional offerings of Mt Fuji and Kyoto. Tour was very well organized, hotels and meals were great, and overall experience was fantastic!
