- LNlili· June 10th, 2025We had an amazing 13-night tour across Japan, visiting incredible places like Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, Tokyo, Takayama, Hiroshima, and Mt. Fuji. The itinerary was well-paced and covered a great mix of cultural, historical, and scenic highlights. Our tour guide and driver were both outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and always helpful. The tour was very family-friendly, and the hotels were clean, comfortable, and well-located. A fantastic experience overall and a great way to explore Japan with ease and comfort!Show moreTrip date: May 2025

- TC· May 12th, 2025The tour was good overall. Tour guide and driver were excellent (5/5). Only two complaints: 1) None of the five additional excursions that were offered as part of the tour were available at the time of the tour, although they were described in detail inside the tour itinerary. During the tour, we were informed that because it was Golden Week, a week-long national holiday in Japan, several off the excursions were booked solid and therefore unavailable. In one instance, we were informed that an insufficient number of people on our tour were interested in participating in the excursion, and therefore it would not be offered. The unavailability of the extra excursions was a huge (HUGE!!!) disappointment to those of us who were looking forward to them, particularly as the itinerary made no mention that the excursions were subject to availability, nor that a given number of participants was required for them to proceed. The prices for each excursion were listed in the itinerary, implying that if persons on the tour were willing to pay extra, they could participate in any of the excursions. This proved not to be the case, and and for this reason it really give me pause in recommending this particular tour to other travelers. One solution might be to have travelers indicate at the time they book the tour, which excursions they wish to participate in. These excursion bookings could be secured by a deposit payment. On the basis of this preliminary information, Stunning Tours could make bookings for the excursions well in advance of the tour. 2) Some travelers in our group showed up for the tour with colds or the flu. They sat in the coach in the middle of the healthy travelers, did not wear masks, nor make any effort to physically sit further away from others. A week later, seven people in the tour were sick, likely from transmission while together on the coach bus. Since most of the group were seniors, I would suggest that Stunning Tours adopt a policy regarding sick travelers, insisting that they wear masks and sit apart from healthy travelers. Further, that they sit in the same seats on the coach bus every day until healthy, rather than swapping seats. Lastly, that steps be taken to sanitize contact surfaces in proximity to the sick travelers at the end of each day.Show more
Stunning Tours commented on this reviewDear Leslie, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We're truly glad to hear you enjoyed the tour overall and that both the guide and driver delivered a five-star experience. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused... Show moreTrip date: April 2025 - Michael· April 11th, 2025I have been to Japan before, but only a few days in Osaka and Tokyo. This was entirely different. We got to see the land. Most people will stay in Tokyo and cross off Japan from their places to visit- I don't think that's the way to do it. Don't get me wrong out itinerary was packed, and sometimes it felt like we were fighting against the clock, but we saw so- so much. I will not forget the amazing deers at Nara, the sombering reflesctions in Hiroshima, the beautiful Cherry Blossoms at Ritsurin Park, or my favorite: wandering in Shinjuku or Gion in Kyoto. The itinerary was packed, and the hotels were amazing and always located within walking distance of a train station or a conbini, what else could you want? Honestly I will miss this place a lot, and Grace and Stunning Tours helped us to see an impressive part of Japan. Thank you all!Show moreTrip date: March 2025
- JCJenny· April 4th, 2025Fantastic whistle-stop tour of Japan, taking in a lot of the major attractions. The guide Grace-san was adorable, excellent driving by Lee-san.

Josh
Asked on May 2nd, 2025Is there free time on this tour to visit Obara and see the winter cherry blossoms? Could you also let us know how much time is spent traveling between the various cities-For example what is the longest travel time on the tour?
Stunning ToursOperator•Written May 2025We do have some free time, or free days on the itinerary. It's hard to estimate as we use the tour bus for the transportation method. Even within a city we still need the bus to tour around the city. But distance wise I would say the longest bus ride between two different cities is probably no more than 4 hours, while we do make frequent stops along the way.
- J
Josh
Traveler•Written May 2025What type of travel arrangements would you suggest from Okayama to Obara? It and Nagoya appears closer than Tokyo or Osaka but not sure (if we decide to do this) which transportation would be best.
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written May 2025
Obara is located near Nagoya. The best way to get to it is after the tour finishes. You can extend your stay in Osaka and get to Obara via train ride. It takes between 3 and 4 hours by train. So you may want to stay a night or two in the area.
- J
Josh
Traveler•Written May 2025In a previous message, Okayama was one of the suggested cities. There is a free day on day 10. Would that be a possibility?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written May 2025
The distance is rather far and it's not plausible to do a day tour to Obara and back.

Asked on April 29th, 2025Do the tour buses have toilet facilities on board? Are they air-conditioned?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written April 2025
Tour buses in Japan don't have restrooms on board. But our driver makes frequent stops to ensure everyone's needs are satisfied. Yes they are air-conditioned.

Gail
Asked on April 23rd, 2025Can you please buddy me up to share a room. Female -60 years old
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written April 2025
We don't have rooming service on the tour. Do you have a friend that might be interested in joining you?
- G
Gail
Traveler•Written April 2025Not at the moment
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written April 2025
The reason we don't provide room sharing service is that people's habits or lifestyle may be different and incompatible. This is especially the case with our guests of all ages from many different countries

Michelle
Asked on April 15th, 2025What is the difference in reserving a private room for 2 travelers and a regular room? What is the longest time of travel between two locations? If booked on the Nov 9-22 tour will we see autumn leaves and snow on Mt Fuji? The gold leaf workshop is one of the reasons this tour is of interest. What is the likelihood of this being cancelled?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written April 2025
You may choose one bed or two beds in the room. The travel time is typically between 2 and 4 hours between two cities. But when we tour within a city the distance is significantly reduced. November is a good time to see the autumn leaves, but it will depend on the weather. We rarely cancel a departure date. And if we do we will notify our guests more than 2 months before the departure date.

Jan
Asked on April 5th, 2025How do we get from Osaka to Tokyo for our flight home?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written April 2025
This 14 Days tour starts in Tokyo and ends in Osaka. We use tour bus as transportation between Tokyo and Osaka. All of our other tours starts in Osaka and ends in Tokyo.

Rosemary
Asked on March 30th, 2025Do you provide pick up and drop off from/to the hotel for tour participants?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written March 2025
We don't provide the airport pickup and dropoffs. This is because our guests arrive in Japan on different flights at various times. But the first night hotel is an airport hotel and usually has hotel shuttle bus available. There are usually airport shuttle available from the last night hotel as well.
- J
Jorge
Asked on March 27th, 2025Can you include airport transfers? Are the hotels 4*?
- J
Jorge
Traveler•Written March 2025I need the final document urgently for the visa application. They need hotel name and contact etc.
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written March 2025
The hotels are 3 stars. We don't have the airport transfers included but there will be hotel shuttle available.

Jade
Asked on March 18th, 2025I have a group that at max will be 20 people. Is there a way that we can secure a spot in the same tour for everyone? Additionally, some of us want to extend our stay by a couple of days at the beginning in Tokyo. Is there a way to add this to the tour package, or do we need to do that separately? And on day 4, at Mt. Fuji, will there be time to do partial hike around/on Mt. Fuji?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written March 2025
For April 21st departure we only have 10 space left. But if you have 20 guests, I can arrange a private tour for you with your own tour guide, bus and driver. For the additional hotel stay, I recommend booking them on your own. This is because we don't have good rates on individual hotel bookings. And our guests usually find better rates on Expedia.com, Booking.com or similar websites.
- J
Jade
Traveler•Written March 2025What would be the minimum amount of people for the private tour? And would that be at the same or different price to this tour?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written March 2025
I can keep the same price for 20 guests or more. If the total guest number is below 15, they can join our existing guests with no additional cost either.
- J
Jade
Traveler•Written March 2025I am looking at next year, April 2026, not this next month. With that being said, are we pretty open on spots available? The current group size is looking to be 10-15 range. Still getting final confirmations, but will there be a way to ensure the spots for all of us when we are ready to book?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written March 2025
We are wide open for 2026. Take your time and feel free to let us know if you have any questions!

Asked on March 12th, 2025Do you provide transport from airport to hotel at tour start, and hotel to airport at tour end? We are vegetarians, don't eat fish, beef, chicken, pork, other sea food. Can we get vegetarian meals?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written March 2025
We don't include airport transfers. But the first night hotel is an airport hotel and there will be shuttle bus available. On the tour only daily breakfasts are include and they are usually buffet style so you choose your preferred food.
- N
Natalie
Traveler•Written March 2025Will a shuttle bus available for the last day of the tour? From Osaka hotel to the international airport?
- N
Natalie
Traveler•Written March 2025Ok, I understand you don't provide transfers. What I m asking is, if shuttles are available in Osaka to go airport, for which we can pay?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written March 2025
We haven't confirmed which hotel to use in Osaka yet. But the transportation system is very convenient in Japan and the tour guide will provide necessary assistance.

Asked on March 4th, 2025Is transportation included? If so what is it and are we accompanied by a guide or are we expected to get to city to city and sightseeing by ourselves at our cost??
