Trip of a lifetime

We had a wonderful time touring cities of Japan. We went to Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Miyajima and Osaka and had an excellent itinerary of activities that we could do at our own pace. We got to experience Japan with the passion that the IJT agents express though their own travel experiences and we reaped the benefits of their insider knowledge.

Cherry blossom Japanese adventure

We had the most incredible 2 weeks in Japan. Starting in the fast paced and colourful Tokyo, we then changed pace and headed to the hot spring region of Hakone. Here we saw Mount Fuji and sampled the delights of a traditional Japanese inn. A beautiful train journey led us to the beautiful and quaint Takayama at the foot of the Japanese alps where we indulged in the nature of Japan and also experienced the most exquisite food in another Japanese Inn...

A beautiful train journey led us to the beautiful and quaint Takayama at the foot of the Japanese alps where we indulged in the nature of Japan and also experienced the most exquisite food in another Japanese Inn. Lastly we saw the beautiful cherry blossoms and spent time in the mysterious Gion geisha district, taking part in a tea ceremony and watching traditional Geisha dancing. It was a beautiful and exciting cultural experience and I would love to go back.

Inside Japan tours were fantasticallly organised. They produced a well thought out itinerary which allowed flexibility for us to explore yet offering seamless travel throughout Japan. The hotel and inn recommendations were of an excellent quality. The recommendations for activities and communication before, during and after the trip were amazing. I was fully involved in the planning process and tailored a unique holiday which far exceeded my expectations!

Hakuba Holiday

We had never been to Hakuba and we needed some help planning and purchasing tickets etc. Inside Japan Tours (IJT) stepped in and arranged our trains, transfers, ski lift passes, hotels, taxis and more! Their very detailed itinerary and Info-Pack was a big help and we never felt lost or like we didn't know what to do next. End December is peak season in Japan so having all our land arrangements (especially train tickets) prepared before our arrival ...

My Best of Japan

A tailor made tour from Inside Japan tours. 2 and a half weeks on our first trip to Japan. Took in large cities and small country towns, a real mix of experiences. Travelled to places I had not previously heard of, such as Naoshima , Hakone and Miyajima. Wanted a mix of culture, big and bold cities, architecture and art. Not disappointed. Stayed in tourist class hotels and some traditional inns. Took advantage of the Japan Rail pass.

They took the ideas or themes we wanted to explore and tailor made a tour just for us.. They got the balance of cities and smaller places just right and planned it so we could take advantage of the luggage forwarding system so we weren't lugging heavy bags around. Before we departed I had along phone call with Ben, who talked me through any queries I had from our itinerary or on the travel pack they had provided. He took the time to answer what might have been considered as daft questions, but little things that made the journey so easy, such as getting wi-fi from day one and which areas in cities he would recommend. Whilst we were out there I did contact the Japan office a couple of times with a request to help in cancelling a restaurant reservation and also for advice on alternative train times, both queries were answered promptly. WOuld use them again.

Best and most interesting vacation ever.

Spent two weeks in Japan travelling by rail on a self-guided tour. using their outstanding rail system. We visited six major areas with side trips at all of them. Would highly recommend this vacation to everyone looking for a clean country free of graffiti.
