Private Tours JAPAN

A very belated ‘Arigato gozaimasu’ for making our long-awaited family trip so enjoyable. The Hama siblings all said the trip will bring ‘unforgettable, priceless memories’. We know a lot of research and detail went into the planning and execution of the trip, but you made it seem easy and interesting for all of us.

Just to let you know the long awaited trip met all our dreams.. just wish we could have stayed longer!!
Our guides were all friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.. couldn’t ask for better.
We loved all the hotels… especially the ryokans… such friendly and beautiful places to stay. The weather even held out for us.
Thanks to all of you for your help in making this a great experience.
Thanks again, Linda and Geoff Cummings

The team at Journey to the East pulled off the impossible in arranging a short notice trip to the very best of Japan for me and my family this summer. They dealt with the logistics and bureaucracy very quickly (less than a month) and their paperwork enabled us to get visas and start the trip on our preferred date with no fuss. Their guides were a joy to work with and were all knowledgeable, and extremely well organised, as well as charming the whole (demanding and diverse) family group. Thank you for making this a memorable summer.

We can’t thank our guides enough for showing us the range of sights in Japan.  They were friendly, professional and delightful and we saw things and went to places you could never see on a group tour.   In 2 weeks we visited major cities, UNESCO sites, small towns, travelled on every sort of transport available, saw sunshine, snow, cherry blossoms and ate a range of wonderful food.  Brought home lots of photos and memories.  Thank you for an unforgettable trip.

We enjoyed the well-planned itinerary, were fully satisfied with the choice of places to visit and appreciated the opportunity to travel with local guides who showed us and explained to us the way of life in Japan, Japanese traditions and historical facts, encouraging us and cultivating among us an interest to further explore the country.

It was a great pleasure and a unique opportunity for both of us to discover a wonderful culture of Japan. I would like to thank your guides for their hospitality and efforts to show us this beautiful country.

In regards to feedback, I think that the program itself is very good planned, showing the guests Japan from many different angles. Thank you so much for your effort. I only can suggest that a good idea would be to spend a bit more time on Miyajima island, it’s such a unique place and I felt I could spend there a bit of more time.

I truly appreciate your help and effort to make our journey enjoyable.

Our trip was amazing and we really enjoyed the country and its people, the autumn, and the range of places we visited (next time I’d ask for another day in Fuji!). Our guides were all terrific and gave us a real insight into the areas. The accommodation was excellent and always well-located.

This trip is at the top of my travels as one of the most outstanding tours I’ve ever done. 

Thank you
