- KPKalpana· May 6th, 2025Our 14-day cherry blossom trip to Japan was absolutely amazing and truly unforgettable! Phoebe put together a fantastic itinerary for us — in each city, our guides showed us all the must-see highlights while also giving us plenty of free time to explore on our own. They always made sure everything went smoothly and took great care of us, making sure we were having a good time throughout the journey. They shared their deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history in such an engaging and humorous way — always joking, always smiling! Even when a few small issues came up along the way, Phoebe was quick to respond and took care of everything so we could relax and enjoy the trip without any stress. We had such a wonderful time — huge thanks to Phoebe, and to our amazing guides Billy and Vincent!Show moreUME Travel Co. Ltd commented on this reviewThank you so much for your fantastic review!

- MRMANUBHAI· April 22nd, 2025Our family chose to book a customized trip to Japan with Phoebe from UME Travel during cherry blossom season (March 26 to April 8, 2025). I reached out to Phoebe and shared what we were looking for. I’d been to Japan once before, and this time I wanted a more relaxing trip with my family—focusing on easygoing activities and hot spring experiences. Within just two days, Phoebe came up with a perfect itinerary that matched exactly what I had in mind. She swapped out all the hotels for beautiful onsen (hot spring) resorts, and adjusted some of the more walking-heavy attractions to car or boat tours instead. That’s why we chose UME Travel—and the whole experience was absolutely amazing! Phoebe took great care of all our needs. We had local guides in every city who helped us so much throughout the journey. I’m already planning to book another trip with UME Travel next year—this time to China!Show moreUME Travel Co.

- CBCHARLOTTE· April 16th, 2025I needed help to quickly put together a trip to Japan for myself, wife, and 18yr old daughter. Amber offered good suggestions, adjusted to our requests, and processed things very quickly. The trip was planned with just a few email exchanges. She checked in with me on arrival day to make sure we had gotten checked into the hotel without trouble. The hotels she selected were perfect. The cars provided by UME were excellent. The local tour guides were great. Their knowledge and ability to explain the history in English was perfect. They offered great alternatives for heavy rain days but made sure we got to see what was important to us. Amber checked in to make sure all was good. I'm very happy with the service she provided.

Asked on May 11th, 2024Could we have a Kabuki performance scheduled for us in Tokyo and a bunraku performance scheduled for us in Osaka?

Traveler•Written May 2024Hi Dan - did you book the kabuki performance for 3 people? I also looked at the hotels. We are 3 adults traveling and would like to request the following: Hotel East 21 Tokyo - semi double room and standard single room, Fuji View Hotel - moderate twin room with Mt. Fuji view, Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto-Ekimae - deluxe twin, Hotel Granvia Okayama- semi double room & single room, Mitsubishi Garden Hotel Hiroshima- moderate twin -3 beds, please. Please let me know if this is possible.
- UME Travel Co. LtdOperator•Written May 2024
Yes, the new proposal includes three people attending the Kabuki Performance in Tokyo on Day 2. This performance showcases the beauty of Japanese traditional culture, one of chapter including the Kabuki Performance. I'd to remind you that in Japan semi double rooms and standard single rooms in most hotels are quite small and not suitable for accommodating three people(around 15 square meters). It's also important to note that these rooms typically don't allow for an extra person if the room size is only under 20 sqaure meters include double twin beds. So, would you like to book three separate rooms, such as three single bed rooms, or perhaps two double bed rooms, or even a triple bed room?
