The itinerary was well planned, and our guide led us to many classic sights. At the same time, we had plenty of free time to explore on our own. Our group was small, which made everything go super smoothly. Traveling with a small group was such a great experience!

This 9-day trip to Japan was honestly amazing! There were only 8 of us in the group, and our guide was fantastic — super friendly! All the hotels were really clean and in great locations, so it was super easy to head out and grab food whenever we wanted!
