Japan

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our experience in Japan was truly unforgettable. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the natural and serene beauty of Miyajima Island, the country is just captivating!!! The attention to detail in everything, from cuisine to culture, left us in awe. We were blown away by the efficiency of the transport system, the politeness and helpfulness of the people, and the beauty of the landscapes. Exploring the ancient traditions, culture, and charm of this country exceeded all expectations.

Zicasso’s travel agent and his team in Japan provided exceptional service. Unfortunately, my husband fell ill during our trip, but the team went above and beyond to accommodate us with early check-ins at multiple hotels so he could rest. Additionally, all of the guides were fantastic.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Wow, it’s hard to choose. We loved Nikko and its elaborate temples and shrines, and Miyajima Island with its fantastic hotel. It was fabulous!!!

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum offered a sobering insight into the devastating effects of the bomb and left an everlasting impression.

We loved the trains and bento boxes, and how they were on schedule; the toilets (they are something to talk about); putting money in the little tray, not in the person’s hand; and, top of the list, how polite, friendly, and helpful the people were.

Japan stole our hearts!!

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We would spend another night in Miyajima, otherwise it was pretty perfect.

I was going to say that I wouldn't stay the night at Shirakowago, but I think the experience will always be a wonderful memory. We had snow while we were there, which was unexpected and beautiful. The traditional guest house we stayed in had boots available to borrow, so it was comfortable walking around the streets in the snow. The dinner and breakfast were delicious, plentiful, and beautifully presented, and the hosts were very accommodating. It felt like a true Japanese experience, which I recommend, but know that you won't be in the lap of luxury.
