Japan

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our travel advisor for our Japan trip made this trip so enjoyable and memorable! From the very beginning stages of our planning to the very last day's request for dinner suggestions, his attention to detail and concern for our whole family was so very professional and always timely. Our family was very impressed with the "luxiourious" accomodations/experiences/settings.

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

We loved experiencing a Japanese baseball game, from cheers and chants while the opposing pitcher threw the pitches, to the beer girls smiling and selling beer from a keg on their backs to the yellow balloon release during the 6th inning. And a very special, surprising treat, a huge Welcome sign with my family's name during the game!!

Other fun experiences loved by our family:

taiko drumming

bento box cooking lesson

geisha spotting in the Gion district

taking pictures at the Fushimi Shrine

visiting Nara and feeding the deer

hiking around the Golden Pavilion

eating green tea ice cream every day!

enjoying Japan's natural beauty, the lush green mountains, rice fields and bamboo forests

tasting sake

shopping at the huge anime stores

gorgeous morning views of Mt. Fuji

Hakone Open Air Museum

slurping ramon noodes

visiting the Imperial Gardens

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

As you can see we did and saw lots and lots which is what we had hoped for especially since our family is an active one. Our only suggestion would be to closely monitor/ interview the guides. Our guides were very kind and caring, we just needed them to be a bit louder and more talkative regarding Japan's culture and history etc. They were for the most part, very reserved and quiet, which doesn't work in a large group setting.
