Takayama Festival | Grand Tour (SP)15 DaysOverall glad to be able to see & do all the activities but felt too rushed. No time for souvenirs/omiyage/shopping. Great Guide & Driver keeping us on schedule. Very grateful to have seen Mt. Fuji, Cherry Blossoms, & the Golden Pavilion on a Sunny Day. Looking forward to seeing the Nara Deer.

Takayama Festival | Hiroshima (SP) 11 DaysI enjoyed the Japan Deluxe Tour, however I was unaware of the amount of walking + climbing. This surprised me. My first to Japan I had a great time - Miyo

Essence of Spring (OSA) 7 DaysThank you Hiroko-san!! What a marvelous tour!! We learned so much about Japan, experienced so many yummy foods, and had so many fun, so many varied experiences(Edo Museum, Shibuya Hachiko, Open Air Museum, Onsen, Ropeway, Maiko-san, Shinkansen, Rickshaw Ride, Tea Ceremony, Deer Park). All with a FABULOUS guide, Hiroko-san!! I especially appreciated how gracious she was all the time in answering all of my questions, bringing extra treats on our bus rides in addition to her excellent narrations and helping us to the very end of our tour to make sure our needs were met. We used our free day on Saturday to meet with my relative so that we appreciated having that free day!

Essence of Spring (TYO) 7 DaysGreat tour & Cherry Blossoms cooperated. Hiroko-san was marvelous. Her friendliness went out of her way to please all people in the tour. Enjoyed her stories of historical examples when on the bus!
Matthew F. ★★★★★
Essence of Spring | Hiroshima 9 DaysGot to see lots of cherry blossoms which was very beautiful! Himeji Castle was impressive. Sake Museum lunch was tasty & video was interesting. Too many temple & shrine visits and too much time spent there. Rickshaw Ride was a lot more fun than I had expected. Hiroshima visit was very informative & important, and tea ceremony was cool.

Essence of Spring | Anime (TYO) 8 DaysI feel we covered a great portion of "new' and "old" Japan. Places visited were interesting even if not personally into the material of focus (One Piece Tower for example)

Gion Festival Tour | Anime 10DaysI had a very enjoyable time in Japan! This was perhaps one of my favorite and most memorable vacations, and I would like to return in the future. Kudos to Rocky (Mr. Watanabe), and thank you for the awesome experience!
Stephanie S.(United States) ★★★★☆
Gion Festival Tour | Anime 10DaysI realize that this was an anime theme tour, but since I do not know much about it, it would have helpful to have some more information (i.e. history, facts, etc.) Most parents and adults didn't really know much about it, so it would have been nice to learn more so we could relate to what kids were talking about. For example, do an event around Pokemon Go sites, your studio where they design / create anime, etc.
Daniel N.(United States) ★★★★★
Gion Festival Tour | Anime 10DaysI like something that I see in the U.S. such as bullet train, Kaiten Sushi, or rotating sushi bar, "spraying" toilet. I was able to take pictures with Hachiko in Shibuya; the dog statue that I read before. Overall it was enjoyable tour that will remember for a long time. Sight seeing was great. Time spending with Maiko was interesting. Thank you for making the tour memorial, interesting, and fun.
Susan S.(United States) ★★★★★
Highlights of Japan | Anime 9 DaysI think the tour was extremely well organized. Communication was great. It was so stress free because of our guide. I have never been on a multi day tour before, but I would recommend this Japan tour.
Nathan N.(United States) ★★★★★
Gion Festival Tour | Anime 10DaysOverall, the trip was very enjoyable and I would consider doing it again. Before the tour, we stayed in Tobu Hotel and walked to Akihabara and a few shrines. We took a train to Harajuku and Shibuya. We also visited the imperial palace on our own. After the tour, we plan to go to either the MangaMuseum or Osaka.
Khanh N.(United States) ★★★★★
Gion Festival Tour | Anime 10DaysMore shopping time needed at larger shopping shops like Akihabara- felt rushed and lesser time for shopping at temples.
Sachi V. ★★★★☆
Essence of Spring | Hiroshima 9 DaysMy long time wish of seeing Japan has finally fulfilled. I am ecstatic to experience the beauty + serenity of Japan. The guide was knowledgeable. Smiling and very pleasing person. Went out of the way to help the tourists. We were at the right time to experience the beautiful cherry blossoms. It was out of the world experience to see Japan during cherry blossom season.
The Pithadia Party ★★★★☆
Essence of Spring | Hiroshima 9 DaysWhen "Hiro-san" comes to Chicago please call us. We would like to meet and have dinner again with our family! Hiroko san had a lot of knowledge. Everything thoughtfully planned executed well! I had requested no beef or pork. This was observed but limited the "vegetarian" selection
Christopher H. ★★★★★
Essence of Spring (OSA) 7 DaysWe came to see cherry blossoms and were very happy they were in bloom. They were good everywhere, but especially nice in Hiroshima. Nara was very nice too. Thank you for the sake museum and meal. Thank you for the Rik-sha ride. And we had a fantastic driver Ken-san. Hiro had many good stories to help us connect to Japan. She took care of us very well. We saw so many sights. I like the pace. Would not want to rush more.
Leah H. ★★★★★
Essence of Spring | Hiroshima 9 DaysThank you! My husband and I will recommend your tour group to our friends. The experience were varied and introduced us to the heart of Japan culture. Pace was busy but well planned to the last detail! The places we visited had cherry blossoms in full bloom. Meeting maiko + having the tea ceremony made me understand Japanese culture
Maud S. ★★★★☆

Essence of Spring | Hiroshima 9 DaysHiro and Kenji-san worked so well together and I really enjoyed the tour they created and managed for us. I would not normally do a tour but like this but my friend wanted to do so I went along. It was a great way to acclimate to Japan and really see the sights. I am so glad I came and so grateful for all the work by JDT!

Essence of Spring (TYO) 7 DaysIt was fantastic that we could see beautiful nature in Kyoto and Nara away from a urban city.
Brian T. ★★★★★
Essence of Spring (TYO) 7 DaysTour was fantastic but too short. Our tour guide, Hiro-san, was excellent and very professional! We want to come back and spend more time in lovely, beautiful Japan.
Audrey B. ★★★★☆
Essence of Spring (TYO) 7 DaysI loved how much we got to see the culture of Japan, temples and shrines, painting, black eggs, and ice cream. But I suggest that there were some places where we only stayed for a short time that I would have liked to see more of. We went to a brewery which I personally think it does not suit family travels. Also, there was to much shopping time I believe.
John P. ★★★★☆

Essence Of Spring | Anime Hiroshima 10 DaysReally well-run tour. The tour guide did great work explaining the sights, keeping track of us, and teaching us some Japanese phrases/characters
Bridget D. ★★★★☆
Essence Of Spring | Anime Hiroshima 10 DaysThe tour guide was helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. There was a mix of anime and traditional sights. The tour should allow for more time to shop. I never had enough time to shop, this was my only time in your country and I felt rushed and wasn't able to admire your culture and artists like I wanted.
Sam A. ★★★★☆
Essence of Spring | Anime (OSA) 8 DaysGreat Tour - Could've used more time in big places such as Akihabara for more free time. In situations where there are 2 guides have the option to leave earlier Pay Yayo (tour guide) more! She's awesome!

Lina A. ★★★★☆
Anime Japan Tour | Hiroshima 11 DaysWe shared the bus with another tour group and ran out of seats we had to use the spare ones. Was very uncomfortable, especially after a long day of walking and squished on the ride back. Apart from that, Awesome tour loved it :)!
