Luxury Japan Travel Review: Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Ramen Food Tour, Cooking Class, Bike Ride, Rice Fields, Museum

This company is hands down the best travel agency I have ever dealt with.  From the initial contact where we exchanged ideas on the goals of the trip, to the development of a comprehensive itinerary, and finally to its execution, Alex was perfection personified.  The trip was flawless.
I can not say enough about the choices Alex made for our hotels, excursions, and restaurant suggestions.  Every hotel demonstrated the highest level of service and comfort.  More importantly, their location gave easy access to must-see points of interest and access to public and private transportation.
Never rushed, we had free time to explore Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima on our own.  We also had incredible experiences with our guided tours.  We enjoyed a Ramen food tour, private cooking lessons, bike riding in Kyoto, a photo session at the Fushimi Inari gates, visited rice fields (and helped plant a few rice seedlings as well) in Hata, as well as visiting the many important shrines and castles that play a major role in Japanese history and culture.
Our tour guides were warm and personable.  Informative and entertaining.  Giving us context to what we were seeing without making us feel we were attending a dull classroom lecture.
Each point of execution of our itinerary was handled perfectly.  Our transfers were always on time.  Our guides took care of all the small things that would have been difficult given the language barrier.
These are the broad strokes of a first class operation.  What makes this travel company exceptional is the attention made to the smallest details.  I had mentioned in passing my fiancée’s mushroom allergy.  Every reserved restaurant was already aware of the allergy before we arrived.  Every reserved seat on the bullet train was in the last row of our car.  This gave us access to place our luggage safely behind us instead of precariously on the overhead compartment.
In short, this has been the best travel agency I have ever dealt with in all my travels around the world.
