    This adventure was very immersive into the culture of Japan. We saw beautiful sights, experienced several cooking classes preparing our own Japanese meal, rode the bullet train making traveling between cities faster than by motorcoach, heard from a survivor of the Atomic Bomb which was moving, and experienced a night in a Budish monastery. This is a level four trip with a lot of walking but was paced well. I would highly recommend the trip for those able to do a lever four trip.

    A woman who was a child when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, spoke with our group about her life. She and her family lived 2.5 kilometers from the city and were spared from the worst of it all. . But what happened after!!

    The tour manager Ana ensured a pleasant atmosphere during the tour and connected with everyone. Scheduled activity was clearly communicated and the tour included several hands on sessions making Japanese art which you keep as souvenirs.
