Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

After offering my nephew a trip for his college graduation present, and he accepted, I could not have asked for a better experience than the one I had using Zicasso and this travel company. I filled out the Zicasso questionnaire online and within a day I was contacted by my travel specialist, and so it began. Working together, mostly my travel specialist working, an itinerary that included the things that my nephew was really interested in was put together. I had been to Japan several times before, so this really was his trip.
Although, I had never attended a sumo match on previous trips, it was a highlight for both of us. The ceremony and fan participation was awesome to watch and by the end, we were as involved as everyone else! My travel specialist gave me so many great suggestions and the best one was to send the luggage on to the next hotel and not have to maneuver big suitcases on the Shinkansen. Thank you, thank you for that one!

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

One thing that I was particularly pleased with were the excellent personal guides that my travel specialist organized for us. We had our guide in Tokyo and had so much fun with her. My travel specialist had organized a private sushi class for us and our guide took loads of photos of us while we prepared our sushi. I must admit we did not have to debone the beautiful yellow fin tuna, that was done in front of us and then we started the lesson and feasted on a beautiful meal. My nephew is a huge Japanese food fan so everyday was a great day!
In Kyoto, we had a fabulous guide, I can’t complement her enough. My nephew is a history major and he really soaked up a lot of history of Japan while we were traveling around the Kyoto area with our guide.
Hiroshima we did on our own. Self explanatory history lesson there.
In Osaka we met up with my travel specialist and we had such fun with her. My nephew wanted Takoyaki and she took us right to a place for some street food Takoyaki. Next, DinDin City for some anime shopping which was definitely a topic that my nephew and my travel specialist could share. I was so pleased that she knew about anime, I knew nothing.

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

The one thing that I would do differently is take fewer clothes and then I wouldn’t have had to purchase another suitcase to get all my treasures back home!!
One last time, I would like to complement my travel specialist on her ability to connect with her clients and to show them all the best that Japan has to offer, which is a lot.
