All hotels and transportation on this trip were excellent.”

“We just returned to Australia from our combined stay and tour package. The tour was great, we got to see many of the popular sites and the accomodation was always comfortable and clean. Hiroshima Hilton was a highlight. David-San and Kiko-San were very knowledgeable guides and overall the transport, accommodation, fees and experiences meant a good balance of expense with comfort. Cough Etiquette and mask wearing for coughing passengers could be further spruiked as there were many unwell people on our tour, which lead to my travel buddies and myself becoming unwell at the end of our trip.”

You’ll have free days in Tokyo and Kyoto, plus time to explore Osaka after the tour ends. Expect a quick-moving route with a mix of independent time and organized sightseeing.

“When paired with a place like Japan, the word essential is a powerful one, and the 7 Day Essential Japan itinerary lived up to that. It didn't apologize for its decisions and didn't pad its program, traversing the land with a quiet assurance that every experience that it had in it was truly deserving of its inclusion.
