We visited Japan for the RWC 2019 and saw 2 matches in Yokohama and Tokyo. In between the matches we rode on a bullet train, visited dog and maid cafes, temples and shrines, met AI robotic puppies and saw Giant pandas in the Zoo at Ueno, Geisha in Kyoto and Monkeys at Arashymia. It was quite a whirlwind of the weird and the wonderful - we loved it !

I had a superb time. The itinerary that Naomi put together was really excellent. What a wonderful country (and the Rugby World Cup was very well organised too)!

Fabulous trip to Japan with an itinerary organised by the wonderful Kaoru.

This was my first trip but my husbands second to Japan, and as we were travelling with our baby son he recommended we use this agency as he had done in the past and had a great experience. Kaoru was brilliant, she ensured that all our accommodation was suitable (read: big enough) and she was very helpful accommodating our myriad requirements travelling with a baby. We had only 9- days so limited our visit to Tokyo and Kyoto as well as a night stay in a traditional Ryokan at a hot springs in the mountains near Fuji.

We travelled by bullet train which was a brilliant experience, and again, Kaoru’s help securing a rail pass for travel was invaluable.

We saw plenty, but not nearly enough of what this wonderful country has to offer, so will definitely be heading back.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kaoru and the Japan Travel Centre for help building an itinerary to visit Japan. 

2 minutes before the Thunderbird train to Kanazawa was due to leave Kyoto Station my son John said "it's going to be late." 1 minute before leaving it arrived. It left on time. Exactly. All our travel arrangements were the same: perfect. Kaoru arranged everything for our self-guided tour. We started in the cold of late winter (snow in Takayama) but ended with the warmth of cherry blossom. We remember simple bento on the train, kai-seki, the bat's ears on the Nozomi shinkansen, monks chanting in Saiho-ji temple, and thousands picknic-ing by the river in Arashiyama. John wants to go back.

Travel in Japan was made so much easier with the Japan Rail pass. The people are so friendly and accommodating. Shopping in Japan is an experience unlike anywhere else as such care is taken to curate the merchandise on display. Japan is a country that needs to be on everyones Bucket List!
