Japan

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We had a great experience, we had our trip planned by the travel designer, the plan he proposed at the beginning was executed very well, the hotels where amazing and the activities as well, really a 5/5 once we asked to make something different and get out of the comfort zone he is used to working I guess, we got a bad hotel in Okayama and Kawaguchi, and the we decided to get some extra days and those activities we felt where kind of just fill up for the time and not really well thought out. I had some Problems with our travel designer since he only wanted to plan the trip partially. After that we spoke to Zicasso and we had a truly remerkable experience with them they where very fast to talk to the travel agency and they changed us to another local agency which was amazing, helped us out every step of the way and was always available! Amazing and great service which is why we love Zicasso so much. If we would have known we would have done everything with this other local agency since the beginning.
The overall trip was great we had an amazing time! We got to Experience Japan in a remarkable way. The service they gave us was nothing short of excellent. They truly know japan and if you plan to travel here its always good to have local people doing it
My only suggestion would be avoid getting you trio done by the travel designer.

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

We enjoyed the cherry blossoms, its was beautiful and had great timing where we went there was full bloom. We really loved the food and the culture.
Everything was very well organized by the agency they had have everything ready like tickets beforehand and was very efficient.

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

I would have not gone to Lake Kawaguchi as there was nothing to do there and the hotels where expensive and sub par.
In okayama I would have not Stayed at the hotel as it is very old and has had no maintenance in a while. There where 3 nights there where the tour ended at 5 pm and there was nothing do near the city or hotel. I would have done 1 day At Okayama (different Hotel) and after that stay a night in Naoshima, and after that continue on and not have so much lost time where we had not much to do and the hotel was not very nice to stay at either.
I would avoid the travel designer. He had terrible service and only wanted to do the things he already knew how, would no go an inch further.
