    We have loved using UME travel to Japan! Amber, our travel consultant has been accommodating in every way. Our guide in Japan, Ying, was warm, caring, informative and helpful throughout our stay. We can’t wait for our next leg of the trip to China!

    Amazing Japan trip with UME Travel We recently got back from an amazing family trip to Japan. It was six of us - 2 couples and 2 teenagers. We organized the entire trip via UME Travel with the amazing help of our agent, Phoebe. Within the twelve days we were there we traversed different cities/regions, including Tokyo, Hakone, Mount Fuji, Kyoto and Osaka. Our tour guides were exceptional! David was patient and willing to show us everything we wanted in Tokyo, taking us to historical and cultural sites, shopping and restaurants. Karen was our guide in the Mount Fuji region. She was incredibly kind, fun and informative - giving us her unique perspective. She was from Italy and had originally gone to Japan for 6 months to study the Japanese language. She ended up falling in love with the country and culture, and has now lived there for 6+ years. Yuya is originally from Kobe and was our guide for the last part of our trip near Kyoto and Osaka. He was proud to share with us the history of Japan and the sites we visited, and details of the current societal norms, and we learned so much from him. The guides eased us into the mild culture shock we anticipated and looked forward to – and we all got along effortlessly, and genuinely liked all of them. Our drivers Kiran and Li were also very kind and engaging, and always punctual – always driving safely and responsibly, and staying with us from morning to night. Kirin also knew a lot about Japan and was very friendly and engaging, and taught us a lot about the culture. And Li was also kind and thoughtful, showing up in the mornings with a box of water bottles, to ensure that we always stayed hydrated in the hot June-July summer weather. And a big thank you to them for also handling our luggage- there was a lot of suitcases, between the six of us! Our itineraries were packed with city site-seeing, shopping was fun, cultural and historical sites; the food was amazing and the subway system, while at first seemed confusing, actually makes a lot of sense and was extremely clean (especially coming from NYC we were very impressed). The next time we go, getting around will be easy. A big thanks to David for showing us the ropes!!!! We had a lot of fun taking a Japanese drumming class, having a Kimono experience, and the Sumo wrestling class was more fun than I could have imagined!!!!! My legs are stronger after climbing the stone staircases to see beautiful shrines and temples… And Mount Fuji?!?!?!!??! A BREATHTAKING view!!!! The Ghibli Museum was an unexpected inspiration, because the kids’ (niece and nephew) have been watching the movies for years. Spirited Away is next on the movie list! We let our adrenaline loose at Universal Studios and played with our inner children at Disney Sea! And the food……MMMMMM! Soups, sushi, katsu, wagyu skewers, the hotel breakfasts… All of the hotel accommodations were great! And the breakfasts definitely fueled us to tackle the day. We will definitely use UME Travel again for our future travel adventures, - we want to go to the Philippines, Thailand, and back to Japan, just to get started – and highly recommend them. Thank you SO much, Eva and team!

    We specifically asked Amber to include Kobe beef in our trip — it was absolutely amazing! The guide was super helpful and spoke great English, and the hotel was really clean too!

    My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our 7-day stay in Japan. Phoebe did an exceptional job planning our itinerary and was highly responsive to all of our questions throughout the process. We visited three cities— Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka—and found the accommodations to be excellent, the transportation extremely comfortable, and our guides (David and Phillip) both friendly and knowledgeable. I will certainly use Phoebe and UME Travels again for any future trips to Asia.

    We spent the entire trip filled with laughter and joy! At the end, when we were heading to the airport, our guide Vincent even gave us a small gift for my husband and me! It was such a lovely touch!

    Phoebe planned an awesome itinerary for us! During the day, we got to visit some unexpected and amazing spots, and at night, all the hotels were in lively, central areas, which made it super easy for the younger ones in our group to find great places to grab a drink!

    The tour was fully customized to fit our interests, so we got to see the best of both Tokyo and the Kansai region at a relaxed pace. Our guide was fantastic — super knowledgeable and always willing to share interesting facts about the places we visited. The itinerary was well-balanced, with plenty of time to explore each city and also relax. We saw iconic landmarks, explored hidden gems, and enjoyed some great local food along the way.

    We just finished a 7-day family trip to Japan, and it was amazing! The itinerary was perfect — not too rushed, so we had plenty of time to enjoy each place without tiring out the kids. Our guide was fantastic — super knowledgeable and always happy to share interesting facts. The kids especially loved the fun activities, like making sushi. At the end of the trip, we had a flight delay, and our guide stayed with us at the airport, making sure everything went smoothly. Big thanks to UME Travel for organizing such a memorable and easy trip for our family!

    Our 7-day customized tour of Tokyo and the Kansai region was absolutely amazing! Everything was thoughtfully planned to fit our family’s pace and interests. Our guide, Arya, was incredible — super friendly, knowledgeable, and so patient with our kids. She really brought Japan’s rich culture and history to life in a way that was fun and engaging for the whole family. From exploring Kyoto’s temples to wandering through Arashiyama’s bamboo grove and enjoying street food in Dotonbori, every day was a new adventure. Having a private driver made everything smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciated the flexibility and all the personal touches throughout the trip. This tour gave us so many beautiful memories — highly recommend!
