I travelled as a Exodus staff member – this was fantastic trip that showcased a diverse side of Japan beyond the major cities. The itinerary was well balanced, the food was incredible, and every destination offered something unique. Highlights included staying in a traditional guesthouse in Nikko, relaxing in a private onsen, and visiting places like Gion and Miyajima. Highly recommended.

Ferhan Qamar Japan Adventure: Kyushu & Shikoku
Siobhan Jennings Ancient & Modern JapanOverall a tremendous trip. It is very demanding and requires considerable fitness. Mt Fugi was tremendous to see.
Such beautiful trees and gardens .. even the moss was lovely!
Lesley Young Highlights of JapanThe trip was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Every temple and shrine had its own atmosphere and charm, many set amongst peaceful gardens and wooded areas. Although the cherry blossom season was nearing its end, there were still plenty of blossoms and colourful flowers adding to the beauty of the scenery. Everything felt incredibly clean, efficient, and well organised — from the punctual trains to the welcoming hotels. The food was excellent throughout the trip, and the kindness and politeness of the people made the experience even more enjoyable.
