This was my 3rd tour with the company. I really enjoyed it. It is fast paced, but in a good way. So not so much group bonding time I found and you’ll be hitting up the 7eleven a lot (luckily it’s all good food). Loved the sushi making a..nd tried all sorts of Japanese food. Splurged on expensive steak in Takayama, had the best ramen of my life in Kyoto and had some good Okonomiyaki in Hiroshima. Seeing the cherry blossoms was definitely the biggest highlight of the trip. If you are planning to go there for cherry blossoms check the forecast. Seeing them bloom and then fall off the trees will forever live in my mind. Photos don’t do it justice.Read full review
