went. I would recommend this trip to anyone and cannot wait for my next one!”
“The view from the window of each hotel showed us Japan in so many ways! Each stop was unique in area and style and students loved it,”said Essie, a Group Leader who also gave the trip five stars.. “It was easy enough to get around and our tour guide went out of his way to help us and show us places we wanted to go that were not listed.
