    This was such an amazing trip! Two moms, two boys, and 10 unforgettable days exploring Japan together — honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better family adventure. The itinerary was so thoughtfully planned, with the perfect balance of fun and culture to keep both us and the kids happy and engaged every step of the way. The sushi-making class and ninja experience were total highlights — the boys had an absolute blast (and so did we!). And of course, a full day at Tokyo Disneyland was pure magic. The boys are still talking about it! Huge thanks to Amber from UME Travel for arranging such comfortable and family-friendly hotels for us. We had connecting rooms, which made it easy to stay close while still giving everyone a little space to relax. Amber really thought of everything — the whole trip felt smooth, fun, and totally stress-free. And a big shoutout to our guide, who was so kind and patient with the kids. They even surprised the boys with cute little gifts at the end of the trip — such a sweet and thoughtful touch that meant so much to all of us. Highly, highly recommend this family-friendly Japan itinerary — it’s the perfect way to explore the country with kids and make lifelong memories together!

    Our group of 8 friends had the best time exploring Japan on this 10-day private tour — no crowds, just us and our amazing guide, which made everything feel super relaxed and personal. The itinerary was so well put together — we got to see all the highlights, from Tokyo and Kyoto to beautiful Hiroshima, without feeling rushed. Everything flowed smoothly, and we always had plenty of time to enjoy each spot. The hotels were clean, comfortable, and in great locations — easy to walk around, explore, and find awesome food nearby. It really made a difference after a full day of sightseeing! Huge thanks to the UME Travel team for organizing such a fun and seamless experience. We came back with so many unforgettable memories and laughs. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a stress-free way to see the best of Japan with friends!

    We had such a wonderful time on our 7-day customized tour of Tokyo and the Kansai region! Huge thanks to Phoebe from UME Travel — she really listened to what we wanted and designed the perfect itinerary just for us. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged and totally stress-free from beginning to end. Our guide, Mori, was absolutely fantastic. He was always right on time every morning, super friendly, and his English was excellent. He made the sightseeing so much more fun with his humor and engaging explanations, and he was always happy to answer all our random questions — no matter how many we had! One of our favorite parts? Mori’s food recommendations! Every place he suggested was a hit — from cozy local spots to hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. This trip gave us beautiful memories and a real appreciation for Japanese culture, and we’re so glad we chose to go with UME Travel. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a well-organized and personalized Japan adventure!

    Helen

    Asked on August 1st, 2024

    1. Is the guide/driver really for us only, or are we sharing with another group of visitors? I see that the group size can be up to 10 but we are just a family of 4 (two adult and 2 kids of ages 5 and 7), so hope to confirm about this.

      2. We are really keen to visit the Ghibli park, and that's why I am looking into this option. But the kids may also be interested in the train museum at Tokyo, and the Doraemon museum at Kawasaki. Is it possible to accommodate that in the trips, or exchange with some other places?

      3. What's the cancellation policy? I am looking to visit the end of this September, but there can be things that stop us from coming. Wondering if this can be cancelled, or re-scheduled.

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten August 2024

      1. our tour will be a private tour only for your family, only on day 1, day 5 and day 8 will be private driver only day, other days all have private guide escort your family.

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten August 2024

      2. I have added 1 more day so that you will have enough time to visit the train museum and the Doraemon museum.

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten August 2024

      3. A deposit which is equal to 10% of the total tour cost is required at the time of booking. The full or final payment is required 30 days before departure for your tour. so, before you settle the balance(30 days before the tour start) you can cancel this tour.
