Essence of Japan Tour 2025
Essence of Japan Tour 2025 This was an absolutely wonderful tour! From start to finish, we visited fascinating destinations which were thought provoking, intriguing and in many instances, places and experiences we would not have discovered for ourselves had we been independent travellers. Our group size was 14 and we were supported throughout the entire trip by our excellent tour manager, Sarah Nye who was very friendly, experienced and knowledgeable. This helped to ensure we were always where we needed to be and were well prepared for each of the many experiences. This was particularly helpful when we were travelling by bullet train. In addition to Sarah, we also had a full time Japanese guide so between the two of them, we gained an understanding of the significance of each attraction and the lives of Japanese people and their ancient and unique culture. I cannot speak highly enough of our tour, but to fully appreciate it, the traveller has to do their own research beforehand to ensure their proposed visit is undertaken at a time when the climate is suitable to their needs. Whilst not very physically demanding, they must also be aware of their own fitness levels and seek guidance from the travel company if advice is needed. Travellers need to be prepared for early starts in the morning but this was never a problem to us as there were always so many new things to look forward to each day. Initially, I thought this trip was quite expensive but with hindsight I believe it was real value for money given the quality of the accommodation and the variety of activities we undertook. For those who are hesitant, I would suggest they set aside their reservations and book this trip. We are well travelled, but I have to say this holiday proved to be one of our best ever! We will certainly be travelling with Titan Holidays again.
