Itinerary

An excellent mix of city, mountains, lakes, animals, volcanic activity, ocean and seas.

Lodging

Excellent everywhere. The hot spring baths just got better and better.

Food

Good breakfasts, usually noodles or curry for lunch and delicious kaiseki or buffet evening meals. All excellent, I still have to work on liking natto!

Guides

Mke was our guide for most of the tour and was a good driver, very knowledgeable, flexible and relaxed. Chikko was delightful with a great sense of humour. She also modified the itinerary to make the best of the weather conditions.

Pre-Tour Handbook

Very useful

Tour Organization

Excellent organization from registration to the end of the tour.

Tour Transportation

Very comfortable car for most of the tour then public transport or taxis for the last three days. It was good to include a ride on a Shinkansen.

Would you go on another tour operating by Samurai Tours: Yes!

Would you recommend Samurai Tours to friends or family: Yes!
