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.
