Japan

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

It took two years but we finally got our trip to Japan. We worked with Laura for the two years, and she was excellent. We made a few changes from her initial recommendation but very minimal. All the accommodations and tour guides were excellent and knowledgeable.

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

I think we liked Tokyo and Hiroshima the best. We would rate both tour guides as a 10. Our Tokyo guide was very flexible, and took us to an wonderful sushi restaurant in the fish market. My son wanted to see certain neighborhoods and she accommodated his requests expertly. In Hiroshima, our guide lived in the city for many years, and took us through history and beauty of the city.
Also, in Kyoto was met with a guide that introduced us to a Geisha. Have to admit I was not too sure about this experience but so glad to get out of our comfort level and understand their legacy. A memorable experience.
This trip was organized to introduce new experiences and guide us to understand the history, and how the people live and eat.

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

I think generally I would not change anything.
The end of our trip was in Hakone for a night. I think it was interesting but maybe I would rather have spent another day in Tokyo. We were tired, so might have changed the experience a bit. The smell of sulphur and the hotel was not that great an experience. It was a long day to get there. But the museum in Hakone was excellent, and worth a few hours.
Overall, we would rate the trip as excellent, it was well organized and the staff at our travel company are outstanding. I would use them again.
