    · January 5th, 2025
    The 10 tour of Japan was amazing. Our tour director Yama was excellent- organised, approachable, knowledgeable. The bus drivers incredibly polite. This tour gave a snap shot of Japan incorporating the castles, shrines, ancient customs, modern innovations. We loved every minute of it. This tour involved coaches, bullet trains, tram, we did the subway. The accommodation was in the areas most would want to explore. The rooms small however who needs large rooms. The opt in extras were great. We found the tour was a great snap shot of Japan, well organised with a brilliant guide
