All Japan Tours Avis 

We have just returned to London after an incredible 17-day tour of Japan, and we cannot thank Kiyoshi, Justin from All Japan Tour company, and the team enough. From the initial planning stages through to the end of our trip, communication was excellent. Every question and itinerary change was answered and handled promptly. Justin’s help with vegetarian restaurant reservations ensured that every meal was enjoyable and stress-free.

The itinerary was exceptionally well planned and perfectly suited to our interests. The carefully selected temples, shrines, gardens, observatories, and other attractions gave us a wonderful insight into Japan, with each destination offering its own unique experiences and enjoyment, building on the memories of the previous town.

The hotels chosen were generally excellent and provided comfortable accommodation with adequate space. The only exception was the Vista Hotel in Hiroshima, where the rooms were quite small and the facilities were limited compared with the other hotels on our tour. We would suggest considering alternative accommodation for future.

We feel very fortunate to have Shu as our guide. He made our trip so special with his knowledge, kindness, and great sense of humour. He always answered our many questions and helped bridge the communication and cultural gaps, especially when it came to our Jain dietary requirements.

We really appreciated most was the genuine interest Shu took in learning about our faith while sharing and explaining so much about Japan’s history and traditions and culture. He gave a full insight in Japanese way of life.

He quickly understood the kinds of experiences we enjoyed and thoughtfully adapted the trip to suit us. He was so funny at times and made us all laugh , especially his attempts to speak Gujrati language often had us in tears. He would go to length to make sure we all were looked after well.

His thoughtful farewell karaoke and video on our last day was a lovely surprise and which we will always remember.

We would also like to give special thanks to all of our drivers for their professionalism and care throughout the journey, especially Umino and Tokoyama for their hospitality.

Overall, the entire trip exceeded our expectations, and we would have no hesitation in travelling with All Japan Tour company again or recommending their services to family and friends.

Wow! What a superb experience I had with All Japan Tours. I selected a 22-day tour with them followed by two three-day one-on-one tours in Kyoto followed by Tokyo. All of my tours were excellent. Tour value is typically anchored by the quality of the guide and my first guide, Kim, was really remarkable. Kim spoke excellent English and her command of cultural topics – for example, historical dates, geographical data, hotel details and experiences (onsen details for example), etc. were exceptional. In addition, Kim was warm, kind and took care of each client on her tour like she was traveling with her family. Again – I have traveled with tours across the globe and Kim was honestly exceptional. Hopefully, I can travel with her again in the future. My Kyoto guide, Katsumi, was good. His English was decent and we were able to communicate. However, the walking part of this tour overwhelmed me (however, I’m 66). Katsumi was kind and funny. An unfortunate aspect of this tour was that they planned a visit to the Imperial Palace on Monday not realizing that the Palace is closed on Mondays so we were unable to tour the site. My next tour guide in Tokyo was really good. Mitsuru (Mark) spoke excellent English and his command of the sites we visited was detailed. Mark was funny, kind and an excellent guide for Tokyo. In addition, the hotels selected across all tours were super – the rooms were comfortable, clean and well appointed. The tour provided all breakfasts (uniformly excellent) and some lunches and dinners (again – all excellent). I loved the onsen experience with some of the hotels. All in all, I can highly recommend All Japan Tours (AJT) and look forward to traveling with them again.
