Amazing Classic Japan: Land of the rising Sun tour with Cosmos     , QLD, Australia, Jul 2024
I can truly say that this tour was amazing and a perfect length of time. We booked from Cairns Australia to Haneda, Tokyo.
The tour was extremely well organised and ran like clock work. We had a small group of only 12 people and we all got along really well. Our tour guide Naoko-san said this was the smallest group she had ever had. We felt really ...read more lucky as she said some groups can have around 30 people. Every day ran exactly to the itinerary, the Hotel rooms were small but not an issue as we were delighted to return to the room every evening for a clean bed and hot shower. The included meals were of a very high quality and morning breakfast buffets were really fantastic and great value. The cooking of Okonomiyaki, Japanese savoury pancake in Hiroshima was also a definite highlight!

Rachael from Global Journeys booked our tour and she was also really fantastic and replied to emails and phone calls without delay. All of the destinations included in this tour were certainly all of the must see locations to get a comprehensive feel of Japan. From country areas, to large cities of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto to the more mountainous regions of Fuji san and the lovely canals of Kurashiki. The Tea Ceremony was very serene and traditional and we really enjoyed the experience.

Our tour guide Naoko-san was also very lovely and kind and she tried her very best every day to make sure everyone was happy and enjoying the tour. If you are thinking of booking this tour, from our experience, I would recommend to anyone who would like to experience the most interesting and beautiful landmarks in Japan :)
Japan Costsaver   , Qld, Australia, Jul 2024
We totally enjoyed our group tour with Costsaver. Absolutely loved Japan and our guide Mayomi wa excellent. Loved Japan so much that we are going back!
Japan Discovery     , QLD, Australia, Jun 2024
Sam from Global Journeys did a great job to find a tour that included all of our "bucket list" items and fitted with our other travel plans. His attention to detail, helpful advice and timely communication was first class. Although not our first choice due to last minute booking Costsaver provided all of the elements of a first visit to Japan we were ...read more looking for. Keiko the Tour Director carried her role perfectly. She was friendly, knowledgeable of the history, culture and geography and she provided a great insight into modern versus ancient Japan. All of the "Choice Experiences" complemented the tour and proved worthwhile. One disappointment that comes to mind was the choice of coach for the latter part of the Journey - It was less spacious and had no wi-fi compared with the coach provided in Tokyo. No complaints about either driver - they were very capable and courteous. Hotel accommodation was adequate.
Great experience in Japan   , VIC, Australia, Jun 2024
We did a 12-day trip into Japan as part of the CostSaver experience and had a really great time overall visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Himeji, and Osaka. We found the tour guide to be knowledgeable in the country and in their ability to speak English and help solve problems. The itinerary was pretty packed and we were really tired most nights, ...read more but that's okay. My wife said, "We can sleep when we're dead," as we really tried to maximize our time in country. We got to see a huge swath of the country, try a lot of foods, and have a number of diverse experiences. While we enjoyed some aspects of the tour more than others, there wasn't a single part that we disliked. We took part in the majority of the optional packages, and they were good value for money. We would completely recommend the tour for couples and families with older children (teenagers).
