What a fantastic trip, even though it was a very busy schedule Satoshi Otsuru ran the schedule efficiently and we saw all of the attractions offered. It was a little disappointing not to see the snow monkeys and mt Fuji on a clear day. All the accommodation was excellent and whilst not used to Japanese food it was all high quality with a diverse selection that did not disappoint. Nagasaki and Hiroshima will be on every tourists itinerary and that did not disappoint. The Japanese alps are just beautiful in their own right. The .white and black castle just incredible structures. Making sushi, finishing chop sticks, painting a fan and creating our own ink were great activities. The scramble square an eye opener and the views from Tokyo tower, Hakodate tower over fort, the night view at Hakodate harbour, the peace dome observatory just incredible structures. Loved the hyabusa and thunderbird bullet trains. Saki, whisky, beer , washmi, and minso ice cream all added to the experience. Loved the hyabusa and thunderbird bullet trains. The last 2 days were a bit rushed and mostly train travel, some more time spent around Sapporo at the end and Fukuoka at the start. Loved all the gardens, particularly the Glover gardens. I understand that temples and shrines are symbols of Japanese culture the tea ceremony was an experience to watch. All our travel companions were easy to get along with and Tsuro ensured everything went according to plan, even streamline our accommodation check in. Overall I give this tour 11 out of 10
