We had a great time on our tour! We loved our guide Kim. She was so knowledgeable and fun. We appreciated all the details about each place we visited and learning about it's history. The food and acommodations were better than expected. We're so glad we decided to choose your company.

We had a GREAT time! I was pleasantly surprised to only have 10 members in our group, and we really enjoyed getting to know each other. Hoshino was a wonderful guide who was very knowledgeable about Japanese history and culture, and Kuba-san was a great bus driver – very pleasant and professional. They graciously and skillfully accommodated a group member who used a walker/wheelchair, which didn’t slow down the tour at all for the rest of us. In my opinion, the only bummer on our tour was the weather, which I admit was not the worst weather that we could have experienced if we had chosen a different month for our tour. I was just expecting mild, spring weather, but it rained on our first full day of the tour while we were at Nara Deer Park and Fushimi Inari Shrine with the 1,000 torii gates so our pictures weren't great, and we didn’t get to feed the deer because the rice cracker vendors were nowhere to be found. And then, it was really hot and humid for most of the other days, but our tour guide remained positive and professional, and he kept to the itinerary to make sure we saw everything that we signed up to see. The food was INSANE! We ate so much yummy food - especially at the "all you can eat" (and drink!) buffet at the Hotel Wellseason Hamanako for dinner and the following day's breakfast. The freshwater eel was to die for! My husband and I were too embarrassed to try the onsen, but the ladies on our tour who did it absolutely loved it and even got to experience the peaceful outdoor pool. Next time, we’re doing it for sure! The tour was a good balance of seeing many sites and having free time to explore on our own. There were probably some sites that we would have wanted a little more time at and others a little less, but it was great to be able to do as much as we did in just 5 full days. One thing that might have been nice to know ahead of time is if we were having lunch or dinner on our own, what time would that be so we could possibly make a reservation at a popular restaurant ahead of time. Still, it was fine that we were able to just wander around and find amazing food just on the spot. The tour really helped us feel comfortable getting around the city for our four extra days in Tokyo after the tour ended. I highly recommend this tour and tour company!

AJT staff were very helpful setting up the tour and flights. They communicated with me and kept me informed. I appreciated their willingness and support for my requests. The tour covered some of the top tourist destinations in Japan, and our tour leader, Mr. Ishii, and tour driver, Mr. Iwamoto, prioritized keeping us on schedule and always cared for. Mr. Ishii always kept us informed of the ongoing schedule in his professional and friendly manner. Our tour driver Mr. Iwamoto, was an EXCEPTIONAL driver and member of the tour. He always greeted us and drove exceptionally well throughout the tour. We always felt safe and comfortable, even in Tokyo traffic. Both Mr. Ishii and Mr. Iwamoto enhanced the tour and provided exceptional support and service.
