The personal service we received from the tour operators was great including transfers in Tokyo and Kyoto. The itinerary is ambitious and may have been a bit too much. Unfortunately the sites visited were extremely crowded and at times the tours felt somewhat rushed, however the guides were very good.
It's a nice 2 day tours but it can be done a bit better and if lunch can be included, it would be wonderful.
Enjoyed seeing Kyoto. Wish we had booked one more day.
Loved this trip!! I stayed in Gion Yoshi-ima a Japanese-style hotel and it was one of my favorite experiences from my stay in Japan. The house was beautiful, my room faced the garden and I got my exquisite dinner and breakfast served in my room. I highly recommend it.
Nara was awesome and our tour guide was amazing, totally recommended! The overnight in the Japanese style hotel, so wonderful, what a great experience! The afternoon tour for Kyoto was also awesome, very cool stops - although some were too crowded. The morning tour for Kyoto was too rushed, not fun.
