Mr. Farrall

Our tour guide, Kim, is what set this tour apart. She was so kind, funny, and knowledgeable…always going the extra mile for her passengers. Japan was such a fascinating place to visit. Our bus driver was a magician maneuvering the narrow roads!

Mr. Ciavarella

My wife and I just returned from the Reverse Tour. We had a wonderful time! Visiting Osaka Castle and walking the streets of Kyoto's Gion District were just a few of the many highlights of this unforgettable tour. Joyce, our guide, was exceptional! She provided many interesting insights into Japanese customs and culture. Joyce was a helpful presence from ordering food, to proper temple etiquette to how best to navigate Japan's rail system. We hated to say goodbye, after less than a week! Highly recommended!

Mr. Eghan

This tour exceeded my expectations it covered a lot of places and experiences. My 2 favorite were visiting the temple on a hill that had stores leading up to it in Kyoto. The second being the visit to Mount Hakone, had a great view of Mount Fuji and the souvenir shop was great. The tour guide Joyce was also great, I learned a lot from the overview she gave on the locations we were about to visit.

Mr. Baskaran

Mr. Boschi

We had a great tour! Well planed and supported by the AJT staff and wonderfully executed by our guide Joyce. Cannot praise her and our driver enough. Even in the face of an incoming typhoon she managed to change daily plans to accommodate us so no experience would be missed. Thanks to her ingenuity we managed to still do mt fuji, ropeway, bullet train after all reopen from the typhoon. Thanks again Joyce, you are awesome! I was glad we opted to fly into Haneda and stay in downtown Tokyo instead of airport hotel first night giving us two nights to experience city. All hotels were beautiful and most were convenient to go back out at night on our own except Kansai airport where there were no open restaurants and had to eat in the airport. Would have enjoyed more time in Osaka. We loved the excitement of Dontonbori area and wished we had a night there. Maybe next time! All and all a trip to remember. Beautiful countryside , beautiful people.

Mr. Solti

We liked BILLY our tour guide who was very attentive and knowledgeable as well as friendly. We liked the whole itinerary, some days busier than others. We liked the busy schedule and loved to see as much as possible. The bullet train experience was a highlight as well!

Ms. Hallett

Everything about this tour company is fantastic. I had so many questions and the booking staff in California patiently answered all of my questions. When the tour started, our guide, “Billy-San” was equally amazing. He knew history, he knew lore, and he knew how to explain the culture through stories that really left you with an understanding of the good and the bad. His knowledge of food and its importance to each region would have set any true foodie into envy. The onsen was fun and all of the hotels were chosen well to represent their region. Kyoto’s Castle Hotel with the water garden in the center was something right out of a movie or anime. The Ninja house was a huge hit with all my nieces and nephews. My favorite was the “Fox Shrine” with all of the Tori gates and Osaka Castle.

Mr. Tiquia

We loved our trip! Billy is awesome. He speaks very clearly and has command of the English language. I'd recommend him to any of my friends and families planning a trip to Japan
