- AEAshley· July 21st, 2025We enjoyed our tour of Japan. We saw a lot and our guide, Kentaro, we very helpful and accommodating.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- EFemma· June 22nd, 2025The itinerary was thoughtfully designed — we covered iconic destinations like Mount Fuji, Nara, Osaka, and Hiroshima, as well as charming off-the-beaten-path towns that gave us a deeper sense of Japan’s rich heritage. The 3-star hotels were comfortable, clean, and conveniently located. While not luxury accommodations, they provided everything we needed for a good night’s rest after full days of sightseeing. Our tour guide Leslie was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of. Their insights into local history, customs, and even tips on where to eat or shop made the experience much more enjoyable. Overall, this tour was a fantastic value. For two weeks of travel, accommodations, transport, and expert guidance, I felt I got so much more than I paid for. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the essence of Japan without the stress of planning every detail themselves.Show moreTrip date: April 2025

- GGGemma· June 16th, 2025We just returned from an amazing tour of Japan and couldn't be happier with the overall experience! The itinerary was very well thought out and gave us the opportunity to explore both the iconic cities and the beautiful countryside of Japan. Over the course of the trip, we visited Tokyo, Takayama, Shirakawago, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Himeji, Osaka, and Okayama — each destination offered something unique and unforgettable. Takayama and Shirakawago were highlights for their traditional charm and stunning scenery, while Hiroshima was a powerful and moving stop. Kyoto and Himeji were rich in history and culture, and Tokyo and Osaka gave us the buzz of modern Japan. Okayama was a pleasant surprise with its beautiful gardens and relaxed pace. The 3-star hotels included in the package were clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. We appreciated that breakfast was included, and the service at every hotel was excellent — always friendly and helpful. The tour guide was knowledgeable and kept everything running smoothly. The transportation was comfortable, and we felt well cared for throughout the journey. This tour offered great value for the price, covering so many must-see locations without feeling rushed. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the best of Japan in a relatively short time!Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- 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

Daniela
Traveler•Written May 2025I keep seeing this "Tattoo Friendly" while researching about Japan. What does that mean? Will it be an issue to travel around Japan if I have tattoos?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written May 2025
When it comes to visiting Japanese onsen (hot springs), it's true that some may have restrictions for people with tattoos due to cultural norms. However, many onsen now provide options for tattooed travelers, like offering temporary cover-up solutions or having private onsen facilities where such rules are more relaxed. Japan is a wonderful destination with its unique blend of tradition and modernity, and there's so much to explore beyond the onsen experience!

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 2025
We 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.

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.
