Hi Lynda,
Good to hear from you. This is also my second trip to Japan having been there in 2008. That was not an organised tour so I am looking forward to seeing Japan from a different perspective.
Last time I was there was also cherry blossom time and there was then still plenty of blossom around. Fingers crossed it is a bit late this year so we see it at it's best.
This is a very good itinerary which covers ground I have not seen before so am really looking forward to it.
I am travelling up from the Isle of Wight and what with it being Easter weekend I have not yet decided how I am getting to the airport but will definately be there :-)
Ian
