What Our Customers Say

Testimonials

After going on the Manga tour in 2016 we knew we wanted Japan Journeys to help organise our honeymoon this year (2019). We met with James and went through all the places we wanted to see and travel to, included a few days in Seoul, South Korea, on the way home. He was incredibly helpful and also suggested various places we hadn’t thought of travelling to, which turned out to be some of our favourite moments!

The main one of these suggestions to mention was to visit Miyajima Island. This is now hands down my favourite place in Japan and I wouldn’t have had the chance to stay there had it not been for James suggesting it.

Having all the hotels booked for us, travel suggestions, information on baggage transfer and places to see in areas travelled to made for a very stress free honeymoon! Having the app with our itinerary also proved to be a life saver! Small details, such as providing the hotel address in Japanese on our itinerary, really helped make everything smooth.

There were only a few mishaps with suggested trains, but most of these were due to the timetables having recently changed, so unavoidable.

Our visit took us to Osaka, Hiroshima, Miyajima Island, Rabbit Island, Okayama, Kyoto, Nara, Arashiyama, Tokyo, Sendai and Seoul. With Japan Journeys’ help we managed to squeeze so much in to our honeymoon.

Definitely recommend using Japan Journeys if you’re planning to go! Thank you James, Louisa and everyone at Japan Journeys!

 

Kathryn B. – Independent Traveller 2019

Had an amazing time on the Manga tour and Kyoto extension! We got to see and do everything we wanted to without any regrets, even going to extra places on an evening with our guide. The holiday was well planned and we were well informed about everything we needed to know and do on the Kyoto extension. Our guide was amazing and friendly, feeling more like a friend than a guide. Would definitely recommend for anyone into anime and manga.

 

Emma J. – Japan Summer Manga Tour 2019

I have wanted to go to Japan for years, and the Japan Journey’s Manga tour not only let me live out that life goal, but made it the best holiday I’ve been on. Kay was both helpful and informative, and looked out for all of us, along with being a fan anime/manga fan.

The Kyoto extension was amazing, even without a guide, all the info we needed was there, and easy to follow, but was flexible enough to let us explore at our own pace.

Everyone on the tour enjoyed themselves, myself included, so much so I had to hold back the tears at Kansai Int Airport when returning home.

Highly recommended tour, and company

Calum M. – Summer Manga Tour 2019 and Kyoto Extension

No wonder Hokkaido is where the Japanese holiday, a complete antidote to the frenetic but enjoyable lifestyle of places like Tokyo. If you enjoy nature and walking then Hokkaido has it all from beautiful city parks and gardens to stunning nature reserves with mountains,lakes and more trees than the black forest has dreamt of. Then when your day is done there are irresistible onsen and some of the best food on the planet.

A huge thank you to everyone at Japan Journeys for their organisation of the holiday basics that gave us the flexibility to do what we wanted when we wanted. We couldn’t have asked for more, brilliant!

Just back from fantastic tour based in Tokyo and Kyoto. Tour very well organised and led by David who was very knowledgable and helpful. This was my first trip on my own but I felt welcomed in the group and really had a great time.

Willi PoveyJapan/Q tours

Just came back from the Anime/manga tour 2015, which was our honeymoon ???? I could not have asked for a better holiday! I could not fault anything! David was fantastic, even organising extra visits/ dinners in the evening, so we were never short of things to do. The hotels were brilliant, aswell as all the day trips, and the airlines. I did everything I wanted to do and more. Even our second extension week was amazing ( which was unguided). We were given recommendations of what to do and were explained to thoroughly how to get around. I will definitely be recommending japan journeys to everyone I know and will be using them in the future!
