Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our Zicasso tour operator planned the trip of a lifetime for our family. She really did think of everything we could possibly want and need.

We traveled to Japan and experienced the history, food, and culture of a cooperative and polite society. I’ve never seen so many UNESCO World Heritage sites! Our itinerary was detailed and easy to follow.

I have a food allergy to wheat, which is a total pain when traveling, yet our travel partner found and booked authentic and delicious food tastings of ramen, okonomiyaki, etc, so I too could experience the cuisine.

Our guides were friendly, easy to understand, and became our friends.

The hotels were conveniently located and offered comfortable accommodations. The four of us agreed it was our favorite trip ever!

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

The most memorable parts of our trip were visiting the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, where we tried A5 Wagyu beef, tuna sushi, sea urchin, and matcha and yuzu ice cream; the first-class bullet train (Shinkansen) rides; the ramen tasting in Tokyo; gondola ride near Mount Fuji; learning about the shoguns, samurai, and imperial family and their castles, shrines, and temples; seeing Hiroshima and its museum and dedication to peace; and lastly visiting Takayama and Goyayama, where we made paper using an ancient Japanese technique and visited centuries-old houses made of bamboo, wood and thatch. Another big bonus was excellent weather for the entire 12 days.

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

I might skip the tea ceremony. We didn’t like the tea and it was difficult sitting on the floor since we are not practiced at it.
