Essence of Japan
We just returned from this trip and it was wonderful! We loved everything about Japan: the cleanliness, the punctuality, the politeness, the gardens, the temples, the drumming, the cherry blossoms, the sumo wrestlers, the samurai, the flower arranging, the sushi making, the origami lesson, etc. The trains, buses and airplanes are on time! The bullet train was fast, clean and smooth. The 7-11s are plentiful there. A good place to use the ATM, however credit cards are accepted widely. (The egg salad sandwich is a big hit .)They love KitKat bars (with different flavors: plum, apple, peach, sake and cherry blossom) ! The hotels are great The Conrad Hilton , The Hyatt and The Four Seasons are excellent.. Thank you Tauck for having a Tour Director and a local guide on this trip. A wealth of information. One of our favorite trips!!
