- Melanie· April 21st, 2025We saw all the highlights of Japan and were lucky to be there when the cherry blossom was in full bloom! Our guide, Marco, successfully managed to get 14 of us around the Tokyo metro, on trams, local trains, bullet trains and ferries! He was full of interesting information about the country and its people. The accommodation was good. I particularly loved the guesthouse, where the owner prepared us an amazing banquet!Show more
