“I loved that the tour was during Cherry Blossom season, as I saw SO many blooming trees the whole time I was in Japan. I enjoyed most of the excursion locations, but there were a couple that were offered that hadn't been in the info received before the trip (and should be). I loved the tour guide, Jason, but there were times his English got choppy and I had to ask him to repeat. Overall the group was fun!”

4.Tokyo to Takayama – 13 days by On The Go Tours

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 5 reviews · 13 days · from $4460

You’ll spend one night in a ryokan at Lake Kawaguchi, with dinner and hot springs included. Most days involve walking, and some meals and entrance fees are extra.

“First tour guide for the first 8 days was great, second tour guide tried hard and seemed lovely as a person, but she was disorganized, oblivious of who was or wasn't following her, was unaware of where she was going at times, and just didn't seem like she knew how to do the job. I'm not the only one who felt that way. Your pre trip support was excellent and accommodating, but having taken a number of tours with other organizations, Rick steve's in Europe, you charge a lot when offering very little. I will not recommend your tour group to anyone, and will most likely discourage others from taking…”

8.12 Days Summer Tokyo and Hokkaido Tour by UME Travel

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2 reviews · 12 days · from $6480Top rated

Travel from Tokyo to Hokkaido with an English-speaking guide, private vehicles and a group of 2 to 10. Highlights include Tsukiji, Hakone’s ropeway, Mount Fuji viewpoints, Otaru, Furano’s flower fields and Lake Toya. Guides named on recent departures include David and Yenwei.

“This 12 Days Summer Tokyo and Hokkaido tour was truly an experience in what could be called a well planned itinerary. Tokyo was intense, as always, with its high buildings, myriad food choices, and neighborhoods bursting with personality. As we moved further north to Hokkaido, the rolling hills, colourful summer flowers and milder climate made it feel like a completely different country in which to discover at our own leisure. This trip was truly unforgettable as it was a trip across two completely different worlds in one! From the accommodation options to the scheduling of activities, everything seemed to have been thought of to ensure the travellers enjoyed a complete…”

In Tokyo, join a three-hour Shibuya food tour with local guide Jane and five food stops. Kyoto adds Fushimi Inari, while Osaka closes the trip with a city bus tour.

“There was nothing in that tour that I could not have planned by myself. Further more, I could have gotten all the hotel stays and the train trips and the sky hop on hop off buses for less than I paid for this package. I felt like I was in a scavenger hunt running back and forth looking for the next bus or train to be able to see any of the interesting sites and the only ones I was able to see are the ones I scheduled on my own outside of the package. The only highlight I really enjoyed was the Shibuya food tour. If you want to…”

“Well executed small group tour by Trafalgar. Excellent tour leader who anticipated every need. The tour gives a 'taste' of Japan in a short period, covering key big cities and some rural areas. Variey of fun hands on experiences, such as cooking lessons, tea ceremony. Accommodations were top rated and all well located (except Tokyo), affording easy access for independent exploring during off-tour time. Every day is a walking day, so it is not suited for those with mobility issues. We had a companionable group of travelers of international origin. This is a good tour to introduce the country, traditions and culture and provides a sound foundation for those who…”
