What people love about Japan Tours from Osaka
- Japan Discovery - 15 Days
very good tour for the cherry blossom season
- Japan Express – Osaka to Tokyo
Trip was good and covered where I wanted. It should be stated that people should be able to carry own bags through busy stations. Some on this tour were not able to and slowed us down. It should also be stated that lunches are often picked up on the way... others had expectations of a slower paced tour. Guide was good in regards to getting us through places and giving general ideas of area. Sometimes went above my expectations.
- South Japan Express
A really good introduction to this part of Japan. All arrangements worked out for me and Jose looked after us very well.
