Fantastic tour. Everything was brilliantly planned and paced. Our guide was amazing and the food was fantastic. We had plenty of chances to experience Japanese culture and loved every minute.

Japan Uncovered - FAB - U - LOUS

Wow, what an amazing tour to introduce us to Japan

Our guide , Satoshi Otsuru, was first class. He was so caring, attentive & knowledgeable.
He was clearly passionate about his country & gave us a fantastic insight into the culture & history of Japan.
His English was excellent, he could not do enough for us, Thank you 🙏 Suru!

Yes the tour is fast paced & the itinerary is full on, but we were happy with this as it ensured we saw & did as much as possible in this wonderful country.

All the hotels we found were generally very good. Some rooms were a bit tired/old (Hotel Associa, Takayama Resort & Prince Hotel Osia) but all were clean , the staff attentive & all provided a good service!

The food was again very good - why come to Japan & not embrace the cuisine!
We ate in both local restaurants & hotels.
The food was varied, well presented & prepared with great care!

As a first time visitor to Japan we would highly recommend this tour!

Thank you Wendy Wu, we had a brilliant time!

A full on tour- lots to see giving a really good taste of Japan. Plenty of food- almost too much. Well organised although a lot of travel as the tour covered a large area so not as much time as might have liked at some of the places to visit.

Treated like a star from start to finish. This tour covered everything and more, if you are looking to explore Japan would recommend.

Great itinerary with lots of interesting locations to visit and things to experience. Quite excellent range of Japanese and International cuisine offered, all of which was to a very high standard. Very comfortable coach and rail travel. An exceptional guide made the holiday. This is interesting, safe carefree travel at its best.

A comprehensive tour of the best of China and Japan. Excellent hotels, superb guides. You must be prepared to support very early starts on most days as it is the only way to enjoy many of the popular venues before the crowds arrive. Leaving the hotel on a coach by 07.30 is not unusual. It would be impossible to cover as much ground and visit so many of the stand out destinations as a solo traveller. Our Wendy Wu supported travel arrangements with multiple flights and bullet train journeys proved faultless. Overall we felt this tour offered good value for money.

Another amazing tour with Wendy Wu. Excellent guide, Midori shared so much knowledge and information throughout the whole tour. She looked after all so well. Hotels and food were all of a good standard, although some better than others. Seeing Mount Fuji, was special to everyone. It was such a great tour to go from the big cities to the mountains, which were a bit quieter and many more autumn leaves. Can’t wait to go on my next adventure

Superb service from start to finish. The organisation when in Japan was excellent and trouble free. The venues were stimulating and on occasions breathtaking. Highly recommend Wendy Wu.

A wonderful trip. With a knowledgable local guide. We had some great experiences and I would thoroughly recommend Wendy Wu

Great itinerary, good hotels, food, guides and transport .

I nearly didn’t go on this holiday because my travel companion was too ill to travel but I decided to brave it and I’m glad I did. It was a packed itinerary with lots of different experiences so not much time to feel lonely. Our guide Junya was very friendly and informative although I did have to concentrate to understand him sometimes. Generally the hotels were good but they did vary in standards as did the food offered. I felt that there was rather too much Japanese food which became a bit repetitive after a time. The travel arrangements were excellent and very efficient. Overall it was a great holiday and Japan is a wonderful country to visit and experience a very different culture

Superb itinerary and the best Guide

Very good holiday. Well organised, guides helpful and friendly and we travelled with a lovely group of people. We covered most important sights in the guidebook and we were lucky to see 2 troupes of snow monkeys.
The food experience was good and we tried a good cross section of Japanese cuisine and I learnt a lot. The breakfasts were western or Japanese from the buffet and the other meals included Italian and other more western food. I think the food was done really well and we visited some excellent restaurants.
We experienced sushi making and Washi paper making as well as a tea ceremony.
You need to be fit and active for this trip as many early starts and lots of walking on uneven ground, up hills and steps. There was a boat trip in Tokyo bay with karaoke (plenty of booze to reduce your inhibitions if you chose to drink it)
We experienced the Shinkassen on the leg to Hiroshima. Everywhere we went was worth the visit.
My only real issues were being dropped at the airport on the way home one and a half hours before the terminal building opened so waited in the cold. Also the change over for the connecting flight at Tokyo meant that it was only with serious queue jumping and the tolerance of fellow passengers we were able to catch our connecting flight due to poor connectivity between Tokyo airport's terminals.
I would recommend this trip

Wonderful jam packed tour. Key sites. From mountain to ocean to city. Wonderful guides that really cared about us making the most of the experience. Wide range of local dishes. Some very nice hotels with onsens so we were in comfort. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to get the broadest experience. The tea ceremony and paper making were excellent too.
