★★★★★ Rated 5.0 by our Tripadvisor guests
Our guide Rick was great — flawless English, and led us through teamLab, the subway and the Imperial Palace with total efficiency. Knowledgeable about Japanese history and answered every question, like a seasoned guide.
My 85-year-old mother had never in her life experienced anything so spectacular! She's still talking about it — and we'll definitely be back for her 86th birthday.
The Japanese service, brimming with hospitality, exceeded my expectations. I had a great time and a truly wonderful experience.
Beyond the ordinary
Not the usual coach tour. Experience the Japan few travelers ever see — with the people who know it best.
