Travelers' reviews about Japan

We had a fantastic time in Japan. The itinerary and excursions organised were perfect, and we got to experience so much of Japan in two weeks - covering all the key cities and sights that we wanted to see . The destinations were all very good. There were so many highlights it's hard to list them all but seeing Mount Fuji was incredible, experiencing the history of Kyoto and the beautiful Island of Miyajima with the local deers. Japan has so many terrific places. There's so much to see and explore. The local agency was incredibly helpful from designing the itinerary to providing support whilst we were travelling - from directions, resolving last minute issues and anything else in between! Without the local travel agency and their knowledge of Japan, we wouldn’t have been able to see and experience Japanese history and culture within 2 weeks. Would highly recommend the travel agency.

Been many countries, but for me Japan amazing....best ever travel experience ...loved every minute.....

We booked a 15 night tour of Japan with Evaneos after a careful search of the market. Evaneos works with local agents and we were paired with Jerome, our local agent, in Tokyo who put together an itinerary covering all the cities and sights we wanted to see (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone (for Mt. Fuji), Hiroshima, Himeji and the snow monkeys), booked all the hotels according to our budget, and suggested and arranged particular events and experiences including a tea ceremony, 2 traditional Japanese guest houses (ryokan), cycle tour, hot springs, flower arranging and a beef meal with sake tasting. Japan is quite an expensive country to visit and it can be difficult to plan an itinerary without knowing exactly where to go and what to see but this way, we could have a customised itinerary including as much or as little in the way of guided tours and support at a good value price. This worked very well. It was cherry blossom time too so we wanted to know the best places to get good views of the trees in each city and Jerome was able to make some good suggestions. Some of the transport arrangements were also quite complex but Jerome was available both before the trip and during the trip through e-mail, Skype and WhatsApp (and phone if we had wished) to answer questions and resolve last minute issues. Overall, with Jerome’s help, we were able so see a great deal of Japan in quite a short time and would not hesitate to recommend his service and the Evaneos approach.

Winter is simply beautiful in Japan. Our day trip to Shirakawa-go was most memorable as the snow transformed the whole area into a fairytale-like place.

Japan is a wonderful country, full of history and culture. The cleanest streets in the world, the magnificent heritage from the past, the organisation of the information, the amazing food experience and the latest technology everywhere.

Japan is a fascinating country. We enjoyed the cultural and Japanese traditions side very much. The island of Hokkaido which was our main destination is absolutely stunning with mountains, rivers, sea, volcanoes etc. We particularly enjoyed the Onsen experience.

This was one of the most amazing trips I ever had and I have been traveling all over the world. Both guides we had were great, informative, and very friendly. The accommodations were excellent especially the hotel by Mt. Fuji. And the train/bus/shikasen tickets being arranged by the company made our trip much smoother and more enjoyable. I have already recommended evaneos in a travel group I am currently in that has over 200,000 people in it. Michihiro Shikatake was the agent in charge of our trip and he did an excellent job. I am a nervous traveler with many concerns and he always quickly answered me back and was very helpful :)
