点评:We had an absolutely wonderful trip, thanks to the insightful, meticulous planning and perfect execution of Saki and her team. This made for a comfortable and enjoyable trip and allowed us to focus on the beautiful sights we were seeing and the delicious food we were eating without having to worry about anything.
Each of the hotels that were recommended was extraordinary--we loved them all. The ones that stood out as truly unique were the Hakone Suishoen, the Art Mon Zen Kyoto, and of course, Benesse House on Naoshima.
As for memorable sights and experiences, we enjoyed everything! The Enoura Observatory was a true standout, as was the Jidai Matsuri festival in Kyoto and the Nishiki weaving studio. Naoshima exceeded all of our expectations. And of course, we also appreciated the many beautiful shrines and temples, as well as the natural beauty of their settings. Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka were also each spectacular in their own ways. And ALL the restaurants were awe-inspiring and delicious--they were each so different and we're glad we tried so many different types of Japanese food.
The private guides were all terrific. Since we spent the most time with Junko and Noriko, we got to know them a bit better, so we have especially high praise for them. They were all so knowledgeable and provided insights beyond what we were visiting to include the broader context and history of Japan. Sharing a personal connection with Japanese people made the trip much more meaningful for us. And the drivers were extremely professional and super helpful as well. Traveling by car definitely made it easier to see more and to do so comfortably.
We would love to return to Japan as we had the most memorable travel experience we have ever had--truly.

推荐的每家酒店都非常棒——我们都很喜欢。真正独特的是箱根水翔园、京都 Art Mon Zen,当然还有直岛的 Benesse House。
至于令人难忘的景点和体验,我们喜欢一切!江浦天文台是真正的亮点,京都的时代祭和锦织造工作室也是如此。直岛超出了我们的所有预期。当然,我们也欣赏了许多美丽的神社和寺庙,以及它们环境的自然美景。东京、京都和大阪也各有特色,令人叹为观止。所有餐厅都令人惊叹,美味可口——每家餐厅都各有特色,我们很高兴尝试了这么多不同类型的日本料理。
私人导游都很棒。由于我们与 Junko 和 Noriko 一起度过了大部分时间,我们对他们有了更多的了解,因此我们对他们给予了特别高的评价。他们都知识渊博,除了我们参观的地方外,还提供了日本更广泛的背景和历史的见解。与日本人分享个人联系让我们的旅行更有意义。司机也非常专业,非常乐于助人。开车旅行绝对让我们更容易看到更多,而且更舒适。
我们很想再去日本,因为我们拥有了有史以来最难忘的旅行经历——真的。
