Travel Review: Luxury Japan Solo Tour, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Takayama, Kanazawa, Gokayama, Taiko Drum Lessons, Ryokan Stays

I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up with Zicasso and this travel company, I had never taken a vacation tour before.  With out a doubt, this was one of the best experiences I have had in my life.  It was a well planned vacation with a lot of variety, so much to see and experience.  My trip took me from Tokyo to Kyoto, Nara, Kanazawa, Takayama and Gokayama over a period of 9 days. Each city had a specialized guide that would take me through many of the popular areas as well as "off the beaten path" areas.  They were all very knowledgeable and very polite.  

I opted to stay at mostly ryokans (Japanese style inns) and do not regret that decision at all.   They were quite comfortable, hot baths at night would help recover from a long day of exploration, and included Japanese style breakfast which were delicious.  

If you are considering taking a vacation through Japan with a planned tour, I highly recommend trying this travel company.
