    What an amazing trip! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Japan. It’s such a great way to experience the culture, visit some stunning sights, and try tons of delicious food! The whole trip was really well put together — huge thanks to UME Travel and their incredible travel specialists. After chatting with us, they totally understood what we were looking for and tailored the itinerary perfectly. Our local guide did a great job balancing sightseeing with free time, so we got to see a wide variety of places without feeling rushed. The pace was pretty fast, with a few early mornings and long days, but the upside was that we got to see more and often managed to beat the big tourist crowds. Our guide Sherry was absolutely fantastic — she went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. She was super organized from start to finish and really knowledgeable about Japanese culture. She was always happy to answer our questions and help out whenever we needed. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious — she did such a great job keeping us all motivated, especially during those early starts!

    Billy was an exceptional guide - knowledgeable, fun, and engaging throughout. The tour perfectly balanced structured activities with free time to explore independently. I appreciated experiencing the cities authentically by walking and using public transit. Highly recommend this well-organized trip that exceeded all my expectations!
