HYPERJAPAN's J-Pop & Go! Traveller Reviews

Booked trip to Japan through Inside Japan tour company just before Covid hit. As a result, it was postponed until 2023. Ben Guest at Inside Japan kept us up to date with entry requirements and answered every question posed. Tour was informative and well run with the tour leader (Chantel Furbert) going above and beyond to ensure my family had a fantastic holiday. When my elderly Mum developed Covid, she sourced Covid tests for her and helped with luggage forwarding for our extension to Disneyland / Disneysea.

We used Inside Japan. They had a portal where payments could be made and information presented about our holiday. We also received booklets about 2 weeks before the holiday with a detailed itinerary and information about each of the locations we would visit.

Beautiful country, with some amazing scenery. People in Japan are really friendly. We went to Tokyo, Hakone, Hiroshima, Osaka and Kyoto. All had their uniqueness and beauty.

Inside Japan Tours made it really easy for us to go to Japan, and we covered so many places in a short space of time. I don't think we would have gone to half the places if we had travelled ourselves. The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic and I am so glad that I used Inside Japan Tours. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking to tour Asia.

Tour was a very enjoyable trip, with a great variety of experiences that demonstrated the uniqueness of Japan. Tour leader Ben was knowledgeable, fun to be around and worked hard to ensure we had a good time.

In general, they offered a lot of good support and Tim, my consultant, gave sound, advice in the organisation and planning of the holiday and was quick to answer any questions.

I did the Hyper Japan J-Pop-and-Go tour with InsideJapan. The tour was a fantastic trip around Japan seeing both the modern and traditional aspects of Japan from the Otaku culture of Akihabara, to seeing temples and Geiko in Kyoto with everything in between. Our tour guide was amazing for his knowledge and passion for Japan really adding to my experience. He was always happy to help us out with questions about language, culture, where to find souvenirs, how to get somewhere, and anything else we could think to throw at him.

The whole thing was made really easy with a dedicated travel consultant to answer all my questions, removing a lot of my fears about travelling solo to a new country. They also provided lots of information about my specific tour and Japan in general well in advance, enabling me to read up and be all the more confident on the ground. This enabled me to really relax and enjoy my holiday.

My wife and i chose to tour Japan as our honeymoon. As enthusiasts of Japanese animation and food we were introduced to so many new aspects of the country through each region we visited. The phrase only in Japan comes to mind with great positive force. We loved every minute.

Inside Japan took special care to include us in all details and really understand us as a couple. The whole american branch was extremely relatable and helpfu to a pair of first time travelers. We practically view them as family now!

We signed up for our Hyper-J-Pop tour early on. We had endless questions that our tour booker answered with grace and supreme professionalism. Dagny was, in every way, superb during the 9 months leading up to our tour. The brochure prepared for us included our private tour add one. It specified our routing in each step, with notices in both Japanese characters and English words so that we could, at any point, show a complete stranger, the characters for where we needed to go, and they could help us to get there. The detail provided was fabulous. During our tour we had a most wonderful tour leader, David. He was always thoughtful, caring, detail oriented, uber professional, smart, adaptive and speedy. We could not have had a better tour experience and we highly recommend these small group tours given by Inside Japan. Our private guides were equally as professional during our add on tours, again, answering all questions, making our visit smooth and wonderful. We even got to meet with a master samauri sword maker and engaged in the sword making processs with him! As a country, Japan is a must to visit in a lifetime. We were so impressed with the people and the respectful life that they lead. It was, altogether- a peak life experience for both of us.
