Great balance between anime + cultured sights

When booking, perhaps make more clear about booking the excursions for the free day in advanced./ I called before the tour but some did not know about it. Thank you all so much!
PS- Kenji our bus driver was fantastic. I don't know how he can maneuver such a big bus but its incredible and he was so friendly!

Best place visited in this tour: Golden Temple

Best experience had in Japan: Visiting all the shrines

Any place went to visit next time: Imperial palace, Meiji Shrine

1. How would you rate the accommodations? (Comfort, cleanliness, location)

Good

The last hotel was excellent. The first hotel was adequate but tiny. The middle hotel needs improvement. But great access to trains from Hearton!

2. What did you think about the food? (Taste, variety)

Very Good

We got to experience traditional Japanese dining. I can't eat fish so that was limiting, I didn't realize it would be a fixed menu. But Hiro went out of her way to get vegetable sushi for me!

3. Was the tour guide helpful? (Knowledge, communication, attitude)

Excellent

Hiro is AMAZING!! :) She was always cheerful, never stressed even when unforeseen traffic caused issues. She was so helpful and she looked out for us and shared wonderful personal experience stories!

4. How would you rate the sightseeing spots we have visited? (Favorite place, least favorite)
