A&C Tours Japan

Spring Sakura Tour 2024

This was our first time to Japan and what a fantastic introduction Craig gave us to this wonderful country. The Spring Sakura Tour exceeded our expectations in all ways. Everyday as we travelled north was like a new adventure and guaranteed more magnificent displays of perfect cherry blossom trees, often beside pristine rivers or surrounding century old forts. No photos did justice to this idyllic scenery. We explored beautiful old traditional villages, walked through stunning temples and shrines, rested our bodies in private onsens, ate plenty of amazing food, rode the Shinkansen at 317km/h and witnessed the finest cherry blossom festivals in Japan. Craig is an excellent tour guide and ensured we all had the best time. He is kind, thoughtful, very well organised and has a great sense of humour. His extensive knowledge of Japan is impressive and him being able to read and speak Japanese fluently had so many advantages. Our accommodation was always clean and comfortable. There was never a shortage of good restaurants within walking distance from the hotels, the biggest problem was deciding at night which one to eat at. Apart from the splendid cherry blossoms we really enjoyed the welcoming and considerate Japanese people. Their culture and safe and clean country is something to be admired.

Thanks again Craig for a bloody good tour, we can’t wait to do another one with you!
