Ms. Madeline Anguiano

I had a wonderful time! I was very impressed by how many things were included in such a short time, and how on- time all of the activities were. The staff were always kind and professional, and I always felt well-cared for.

Mr. Pava & Mr. Marr

Excellent tour. Guide was wonderful. Saw the sights we hoped to see and enjoyed the company of new friends. Well planned and the bus was comfortable to travel. Hotels overall are really nice and the inclusions of breakfast and some meals was a plus.

Kyushu has some of the most beautiful places we have seen in Kyushu. The walking on this tour is reasonable with only one or two days being rigorous and leaving us pretty exhausted (my wife and I are in our 30s and 40s and are not that active). Our guide Hana was amazing and took great care of us and ensured our entire group had an amazing time. If you go in September, be aware that it is still quite hot with high humidity. You should bring very lightweight clothes. Expect to prepare a separate smaller luggage/duffel bag as your main luggage will be shipped multiple times due to traveling. The overnight ferry and jet coil to Yakushima were very fun! We loved this trip as much as the Samurai, Garden, and Arts tour!

Ms. Strode & Mr. Elfant

We loved trying the variety of foods, and we liked most of the tour experiences. It was a good mix of well-planned experiences, including foods and tea and markets and knives and cooking class. Emi, our guide, was excellent - knowledgeable about foods, sense of humor, good rapport with the local partners, good at keeping track of the group. Some highlights were the cooking class in Kanazawa, the Gokayama village, our time in Takayama. We learned a lot from all of the food experiences and different perspectives, and we enjoyed all of the locations and accommodations.

Mr. Rector & Ms. Smith

Excellent tour.

Mr. Brian McGrath

I was very happy with our guide, Barbara. She was very knowledgeable and informative, easy to talk to and did not play favorites within the group. The hotels and restaurants chosen by AJT were top notch. I enjoyed trying new dishes

Ms. Nancie Dobbs

It was fast paced, but enjoyable. Next time I would plan for a longer stay

Mr. David Blessitt

Mr. & Mrs. Walter

Billy, our guide was wonderful and very informative. Our driver was super and the van was just the right size. The 2 other guests were the best.

Ms. Idlbi

The tours was very interesting as it allows me to have a very good idea about Japan. I was able to visit many places such as temple, shrines, castle, Japanese gardens as well as historical places. Additionally, the tour allowed me to have nice experience from Japan such as the good food, Tea ceremony, the rapid train and typical Japanese Hotel. Furthermore, I have discovered through the tour the lovely nature of Japan and learned a lot of information about its history and its tradition.
