I am thinking of taking the plunge next year and going long haul to japan. Is there anyone out there who has done this trip and could give me a heads up. ie What the flights where like and how do you cope with all the hotel changes. I have done 15 tours with Jy but only Europe. Any response would be appreciated. Geoff
Hi Geoff.
I went to Japan and Hong Kong with JY earlier this year. It’s a wonderful tour. Our flights were fine. We travelled with Cathay Pacific, via Hong Kong. There was a short break at Hong Kong airport before our onward flight to Tokyo.
Japan is a beautiful country and the people are so polite and friendly. During the tour, you will travel on the Shinkansen (the bullet train). Your luggage will travel separately, by road - take any valuables in a rucksack for that journey. The hotels we stayed in were of high standard (the hotel in Atami was basic, but it’s for one night only - you will have the opportunity to try the onsen baths at the hotel). You would be living out of a suitcase but that gives you the chance to experience and see a lot of the country.
I would recommend this tour to anyone. You won’t be disappointed....go ahead and book.
