After taking in the sights, sounds and flavors of Tokyo, make your way to Hiroshima to discover impressive landscapes, food and activities unlike ever before. Beyond its two World Heritage Sites and its special place in history, Hiroshima's mountainous islands, distinctive culture and unique flavors will steal your heart, just as it did mine.

A brief recommendation about the tour:
Japan is a land replete with beauty, natural wonder and enchantment. Tokyo is a must-see for anyone seeking some of the country's best dining, coolest cafes/bars and world-class shopping, while Hiroshima and the surrounding areas offer a chance to explore Japan's quieter and more reflective side. Hiroshima is especially significant for those looking to explore not only the country's natural beauty and charm but also to gain a better understanding of the history and resilience of the Japanese spirit.

I had many new discoveries on my recent trip to Japan. I was able to see a new side of Tokyo in the riverside views from the Sumida River. Okayama Prefecture is also a fascinating prefecture just an hour away by plane, and I was able to experience the true spirit of Japan and Japanese traditions there.

The Chugoku region of Japan is not widely known, and travelling to Okayama in the Chugoku region allowed me to touch an aspect of Japan I had never known before. I was immediately captivated by the charms of the region, and my trip was a continous series of delightful surprises.

Tokyo is a city with lots of shopping while Tottori is more rural with many authentic local experiences. For travellers who wish to experience the best of both worlds, visiting the two cities would be a great combination.

Tokyo had a completely difference face when visit as a tourists. Highly recommend slow holidays in tottori. Place, full of scenic beauty and landscape

If you actually take the trip, you will surely discover the treasures Tokyo and Kagawa hold. Please pay a visit yourself! Nature, art, architecture, delicious cuisine - whatever you seek, you can surely experience.

In this trip, I was able to see less widely known sights that eclectically blended both the past and present in Tokyo. I then had the opportunity to travel to wonderful locations in Kagawa, on the island of Shikoku. I visited the islands of Naoshima and Teshima floating in the waters of the Seto Inland Sea, and there discovered a fusion of art, architecture and nature, making it a wonderful trip.

The first day in Tokyo, I got a sense of the atmospheres of two symmetrical areas: Shibuya, overflowing with crowds, and the calm neighboring Daikanyama. Then, Shimane Prefecture allowed me to discover a completely different Japan to the Japan of the big cities I had imagined. The numerous shrines and historic sites I found in Shimane exceeded my expectations, and surprised me. One of the high points was the ryokan and the rich variety of local dishes. This was an inspiring first trip to Japan.

This was one of the most well planned trips of my experience. Thanks to the local people we met at our destinations it was a wonderful trip.

My travels this time were totally different to anything I’d done up until now. Up until this point I only understood basic Japanese, so I wasn't able to understand all of the information at many of the places I visited, but this time I had contact with local people, and that was a great chance for me. I was continually surprised by Kochi especially.

After a brief look at Tokyo, this program took me to Kochi Prefecture in Shikoku. In the past, Kochi Prefecture was a feudal domain called Tosa, ruled by the powerful Yamauchi family of daimyo, and is rich in history and land. It has a lot of cultural heritage, and the local people have created a way of life and food culture different to that of the capital city. For those who love Japan, a visit to Kochi Prefecture means they can gain new experiences of a Japanese culture they were unaware of before.

I would highly recommend this tour and each activity/meal was thoughtfully planned. A nice insight of local culture, big city Tokyo, to more rural city of Tokushima.

The tour was a lot of fun and was very well planned. In Tokyo, the parks, restaurants and city atmosphere were particularly impressive. I absolutely loved Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens, a green place of natural beauty in the very center of the city with a history older than my home country!

My tour of Tokyo and Yamaguchi enabled me to compare city life with rural life in Japan. It was great to get off the beaten track and see places that you don't read about much in the guide books. This was my first time in Japan and so I had lots of new experiences, such as trying real Japanese cuisine, wearing a kimono and bathing in the onsen.

I really enjoyed the tour as it was great to see so much in such a short time. The transport was reliable and made it relaxing to travel. I would recommend Yamaguchi to people who are looking to experience traditional Japan without the crowds of more popular places like Kyoto or Nara.

This whirlwind tour of Tokyo and Ehime/Hiroshima was jam packed with activities. I had no idea of the rural beauty that Hiroshima held. I absolutely loved riding bikes through it - it's the best way to discover a place and really appreciate where you are traveling.

Although I have travelled in many parts of Japan this tour was interesting as it contrasted the best of modern bustling Tokyo with the beauty of the countryside and the cultural depth of regional Japan.
