I loved the train experience and the variety of activities, places and information by the guide. He helped me understand better how Japan “ticks”. I particularly enjoyed the tea ceremony and the stay at the Ryokan.

Quality of guides and explanation of culture/locations. Mr Kawakami is the best tour guide we have ever had – we have toured extensively in north/south America, Africa, Asia and Europe. Comprehensive tour provided on Japan Rail network and great accommodation quality.

An excellent well-balanced tour

Thursday, January 12th, 2017

I found the Discover Japan tour to be an excellent well-balanced tour ranging from magnificent sight-seeing to cultural experiences such as the Ryokan stay and Japanese food, gardens and religions. I particularly appreciated that many of the hotels were conveniently located near railway stations so that we were able to walk to our accommodation.
