    We’d always wanted to visit Japan and this trip really made our dream come true. Meeting the locals and experiencing their culture was definitely one of the highlights. Everything ran smoothly from the accommodation to the transport and it was all really well organised. Whenever we had a question, journaway got back to us straight away. Overall, it was an amazing trip and we’d highly recommend it!

    Captivating in every way! From neon corridors of Tokyo to Hanbok-clad evenings in Gyeongju, this tour offered deep cultural insight and eye-catching modern sights. The pacing was comfortable, with plenty of free time to explore.
