We had a great tour! Well planed and supported by the AJT staff and wonderfully executed by our guide Joyce. Cannot praise her and our driver enough. Even in the face of an incoming typhoon she managed to change daily plans to accommodate us so no experience would be missed. Thanks to her ingenuity we managed to still do mt fuji, ropeway, bullet train after all reopen from the typhoon. Thanks again Joyce, you are awesome! I was glad we opted to fly into Haneda and stay in downtown Tokyo instead of airport hotel first night giving us two nights to experience city. All hotels were beautiful and most were convenient to go back out at night on our own except Kansai airport where there were no open restaurants and had to eat in the airport. Would have enjoyed more time in Osaka. We loved the excitement of Dontonbori area and wished we had a night there. Maybe next time! All and all a trip to remember. Beautiful countryside , beautiful people.

We liked BILLY our tour guide who was very attentive and knowledgeable as well as friendly. We liked the whole itinerary, some days busier than others. We liked the busy schedule and loved to see as much as possible. The bullet train experience was a highlight as well!

Everything about this tour company is fantastic. I had so many questions and the booking staff in California patiently answered all of my questions. When the tour started, our guide, “Billy-San” was equally amazing. He knew history, he knew lore, and he knew how to explain the culture through stories that really left you with an understanding of the good and the bad. His knowledge of food and its importance to each region would have set any true foodie into envy. The onsen was fun and all of the hotels were chosen well to represent their region. Kyoto’s Castle Hotel with the water garden in the center was something right out of a movie or anime. The Ninja house was a huge hit with all my nieces and nephews. My favorite was the “Fox Shrine” with all of the Tori gates and Osaka Castle.

We loved our trip! Billy is awesome. He speaks very clearly and has command of the English language. I'd recommend him to any of my friends and families planning a trip to Japan

From the moment we arrived, we were met with a swift check-in at our hotel in Osaka. The breakfasts were phenomenal and the dinners were even better, and it was everything my wife and I had hoped for and more with all the sights and historical monuments. As we traveled, we were left in the capable hands of Mr. Joseph Kurata, who was exceptionally personable, polite, and knowledgeable. His direction through our journey made Japan feel like more than just a place to visit, he made it feel like home.

Joseph was a WONDERFUL tour guide!!!! He was knowledgeable, funny, and kind. My brother and I had the most amazing time during this entire tour. I have recommended this tour and Joseph to everyone I know! The temples were beautiful, the museums were so cool, the shinobi village and the maiko tea ceremony was super fun! I enjoyed taking the scenic route and getting to see so much of Japan! I will be back!!

We absolutely loved the tour!! There were so many unique experiences we may not have gotten to do otherwise, such as the tea ceremony with a maiko, or the ninja village. Our tour guide Miharu was lovely and really made the tour special! She was hilarious and gave so much interesting insight into Japanese history and culture!
