We just returned from a May departure. Here are some of the improvements we noted based on earlier guest comments on this forum.
- Previous travelers did not like the Hotel Nikko in Kanazawa. This hotel has been replaced by the Hyatt Centric which was very nice.
- The lunch menu at Nobu appears to have been changed as we had a very good bento box lunch there
- The dreaded bento box lunch on the train has been replaced by an allowance to buy whatever you like at the train station to bring on board with you.
