Japan Tour Reviews
Ellen L.
“Fun day in Tokyo”
My husband and I enjoyed a day’s touring with Tan before meeting up with our larger tour group the following day. With jet lag and a recent mobility issue hindering us, we fully appreciated the visiting little known yet special and off-the -beaten path sites by car with Tan at the wheel. We also feasted on wonderful food at one of Tan’s favorite restaurants. It was a great way to begin our time in Japan!

“Visiting Katsuo-ji Temple is a must! Go early!”
Vicky was very accommodating and we truly appreciated her willingness to adjust the schedule to suit our needs. She was friendly and engaging during the drive to the Katsuo-ji Temple. This is a stop that we highly recommend to see the Darumas and learn about their meaning.

Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure spending the day with you and showing you Katsuo-ji Temple.
