Reviews of Japan Family Tours
- Japan Family Holiday (22 destinations)
Yuji did an amazing job of ensuring a smooth trip, while being very flexible to the desires of the group. He planned beautifully and gave us the skills and confidence to navigate on our own for our free time. He kept the group from frittering away time and shared insights into history and culture for the many highlights. Had we tried to do this trip on our own, we would optimistically have been able to see half as much and would have entirely missed some very memorable experiences, like Hakone. We did the family tour and would highly recommend for families with kids 9-16.
- 10 Days Japan Delight with Hiroshima(Private Guide No Group)Family Tour Customizable
I recently embarked on the 10 Days Japan Delight with Hiroshima tour and found it to be an exceptional journey through Japan’s rich history and breathtaking landscapes. The itinerary is thoughtfully designed—from the vibrant streets of Osaka and the moving experience at Hiroshima Peace Memorial, to the serene beauty of Miyajima and the cultural charm of Kyoto and Nara. The private guide and driver were incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, providing detailed insights that deepened my understanding of each destination. Highlights such as riding the Shinkansen, strolling through historic Kyoto, and enjoying a scenic cruise on Lake Ashi with Mount Fuji in the background made the trip truly unforgettable. I also appreciated the balanced mix of guided activities and free days, which allowed ample time for personal exploration and relaxation.
- 10 Days Japan Essential Family Tour with Kids (private guide & driver)Customizable
We had an absolutely amazing time on our trip! Our tour guide, Betty, was super experienced, really knowledgeable, and so much fun. Big thanks to our driver as well—he knew our kid gets carsick, so he drove really smoothly! All the hotels we stayed at were top-rated 4-star accommodations. Overall, the whole trip was just fantastic!
