Traveler stories
"We enjoyed virtually every encounter with Japanese people: several brilliant day-guides in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara, as well as many lovely 'chance conversations'…"
The Coopers
Traveled in October 2023
"We invited our guides to lunch with us at our cost and that added to our exploration of Japanese food. The itinerary was well coordinated and my TravelLocal coordinator was only an email away."
Stewart & Sue Penny
Traveled in September 2024
"Our tour guides were good and spoke good English. They were willing to adjust if we got tired to wanted to change agenda a bit and we were helped on bullet trains on both ends. Excellent experience."
