- LGLeo· April 16th, 2025I initially had low expectations given the affordable price, but this tour exceeded all my expectations! My wife and I had researched all the essential attractions for first-time visitors to Japan and were thrilled to find them all included in the itinerary. We experienced the world’s busiest city, visited Hiroshima—the site of the atomic bombing, explored the historical cities of Nara and Kyoto, and marveled at the wonder of Mount Fuji. It was an exceptional value! Our tour guide, Hiro, was excellent, and the driver ensured a smooth, comfortable ride. Highly recommended!Show moreTrip date: March 2025
- VEVeronika· April 16th, 2025The original tour we booked was changed after we had purchased non-refundable airline tickets, so we didn’t have a choice but to accept the change and go to Hiroshima. The tour starts in Osaka, but there’s no visit to Osaka. The hotel selected (Star Gate) was 1 hour away from the city making impossible to visit it. Our visit to Kyoto was very rushed (coincided with a weekend) and we didn’t see many of the attractions there. We could have benefited with an extra day there. The hotels were tiny and very uncomfortable for someone who is taller than 5’8”. Hiro, our tour guide was very nice, but he could be a little more informative about the sites, history and Japanese culture. He still needs to improve his English to become more fluent and comfortable with the language.Show more

Trip date: April 2025 - GDGinger· April 15th, 2025I had a fantastic time on this tour with my best friend. We explored a variety of fascinating sites—from ancient shrines and temples to the iconic Mount Fuji, and from the playful deer in Nara to the vibrant streets of Tokyo. Japan is truly a beautiful country, and its people are incredibly friendly!Show moreTrip date: March 2025
- Michael· April 15th, 2025Each site visited was to rushed. The best part of tour was the Hiroshima museum. The bamboo forest and boat ride on swan lake were a waste of time. The tour to top of mt. Fuji was useless due to clouds. If there are clouds there isno use to go up there. The guide should have joined us and provided more hands on explanations during site visits rather than just leaving us to figuring things out on our own. During long bus ride it would have been nice to have more movies.Show moreStunning Tours commented on this reviewDear Michael: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback.

- Cheryl· July 28th, 2024This tour hit most of the major cities and the high points of those cities. We were able to travel in a very comfortable bus from location to location. The time on the tour was spent with a great mix of free time, time to explore and timed tours. Soya, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing. He gave us highlights and history of each place before we arrived. He made checking in and out of hotels easy and painless. Hotels were very roomy and breakfast was included each morning.Show moreTrip date: July 2024
- EAElden· May 2nd, 2024This was my first cultural tour as I normally would self tour. I'm glad I saw Japan this way as I would never have been able to experienced as much as I did without this wonderful tour. We went to all my must see locations and also a good number of additional experiences, such as the sake factory and gardens I was not aware of. Definitely a great value!Show moreTrip date: April 2024

Christine
Asked on June 23rd, 2025Will us three allow the tour to happen?
Stunning ToursOperator•Written June 2025Unfortunately the number of people is still short. We do have the similar Splendid Japan tour guaranteed to operate. This is the similar tour, but Hiroshima is no longer included and is offered as an optional tour with bullet train tickets. But the Splendid Japan itinerary is 300 cheaper per person.

Alexandra
Traveler•Written May 2025Do the twin beds push together for 2 people to sleep together comfortably? Is a double bed large enough for 2 people to share?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written May 2025
We recommend the twin sharing rooms as the beds are generally smaller in Japan hotels. The beds can be pushed together in some of the hotels(not all of them) during the tour.

Alexandra
Traveler•Written May 2025Will there be time or an option to do the gondola when visiting Mount Fuji? Are there options to go to an onsen?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written May 2025
Our itinerary does include visiting the 5th station on Mt.Fuji. But it depends on the weather conditions. If it's rainy, the roads become very dangerous and we will change the itinerary. There are currently no onsen experience on the itinerary.

Asked on April 10th, 2025We are interested in this tour. I am just wondering what would be child discount as we have 13 yr old child. So it is going to be 3 adults and 1 child. Is there any other discount that you can offer or add optional tour as a part of the itinerary? Is this a confirmed departure? And if we request a trip to Kanazawa from Tokyo for additional days and cost, would guys be able to arrange?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written April 2025
We don't have any discounts designed for kids, but I can apply 50 USD per person discount for your family. So it will be 200 USD off in total. For May 26th departure we only have the Splendid Japan 8 days as a guaranteed departure.

Beth
Asked on March 10th, 2025Is there self serve laundry at the hotels? Also, can I arrange to extend a day in Tokyo at the end of the tour
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written March 2025
Yes there are laundry service at most of the hotels. Our local operator charges as much as 250 USD for individual hotel bookings so I suggest booking on Expedia or similar websites
