4.Wonders of Japan end Tokyo GO 15-Day Tour by Europamundo

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 10 reviews · 15 days · from $5619

Spend 15 days travelling from Tokyo through Japan’s temples, castles, hot-spring towns and mountain villages. An English-speaking guide, coach transport, hotel breakfasts and many admissions are included. Expect a fast-moving group tour, a ryokan stay near Mount Fuji, and a night at a Buddhist monastery on Mount Koya.

“This tour was very organized, the guides were great, there was so much included to see. I appreciated having two guides, one for English speakers and one for Spanish speakers, which helped everything run much more smoothly. Most every day is busy from early morning to night, so you have to be up for the pace. I appreciated all we saw because of the pace, my boyfriend would have preferred to stay at each site a bit longer, with a slower pace and more relaxation time. Pros and cons - all in all it was a great tour that gives one a taste of the culture and values of Japan.”

“I would not recommend this tour to anyone who is really interested in Japanese culture. You are rushed through the country for a huge amount of money, with hardly any time in between to get to know the country and its people. The guide rushed us from place to place so that he could keep to his schedule. At lunchtime, we were told to go to the supermarket to get something to eat and the next morning it was just the same. I deliberately skipped the trip to Mount Fuji because you drive for 8 hours just to take 15 minutes of photos. In the end, Japan is such a…”
