Best place visited on the tour was Nara Deer Park

Best place visited on the tour: Nara (the deer!)

Best experience you had in Japan: Robot Restaurant

Want to visit next: Osaka
I strongly suggest that this tour is advertised as being extremely strenuous. We had no idea how much walking/climbing there would be. It would good to fit in some more relaxation - Also, it would have been nice if the hotels used had swimming pools, as for western people, the onsen's are not relaxing places due to us not being comfortable naked in front of strangers.
