What people love about Japan Tours in July
- Japan Discovery - 15 Days
The itinerary of the tour was excellent, but sadly I caught Covid and missed the second week, which included Mount Fuji, so I am going back in November on another Tour Radar trip, to cover all the bits I missed!
- 9 Days Splendid Japan Deluxe with Nagoya(4 star hotels)
A wonderful tour with a well-chosen selection of hotels and a friendly group of fellow travelers. Our guide, Silvia, did an excellent job throughout, and the bus driver provided a smooth and comfortable ride.
- Japan Express – Osaka to Tokyo
Tour was very much a highlights tour but more reason to come back. Matchy was excellent and so sincere
