We really enjoyed the trip. It was a unique experience and we wouldn’t have been able to see so many interesting places without booking this tour. Our tour guide was very good. Everything was well organised and thought-out. I highly recommend it to those who want to see Japan.

This tour was absolutely phenomenal, I couldn’t have had a better time. The tour guide Kana was amazing, so kind and knowledgeable, she went above and beyond to make sure it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I couldn’t recommend this any higher.

The trip was great with amazing guide and bus driver! We wish we had more time for shopping and the Kyoto itinerary included more iconic sites of Kyoto.

We have travel extensively in many parts of Europe, North and South America, but never to Asia. Mostly the two of us researching sites and making it on foot. Recently and as we entered our 70’s we began to see the benefits of small group tours but true enlightenment came with a private tour of Greece. The sites are imprinted on my brain.
So we searched for a private tour for Japan and found it at Deluxe Japan Tours out of San Diego. Yuki became our contact as we worked off an existing ten day group adventure, curating it to our taste for cultural and historical sites. We had brilliant guides through three different areas and traveled by Shinkansen, bullet train, between. They understood our needs and often moved sites around or added to our schedule with off the beaten path surprises that knocked us out. Hotels with breakfast were great and each very different. Most of our meals we looked after but they gifted us with a remarkable Japanese dinner and hot springs in Hakone. We felt safe and understood; we laughed and cried at the beauty of so many national treasures and we began to understand the Japanese culture. It was everything we had hoped for and more. We highly recommend Deluxe Japan Tours, they never let us down.

This was our first all inclusive group tour. On past vacations, we preferred setting our own pace and agenda. But, given the language barrier, lack of knowledge about the country, and the size of our group (6), we decided to give the tour a try. We made the right choice. There were no snags. We were kept busy but not overwhelmed. We saw and did way more than we could have scheduled on our own. Our guides were great (especially Yoshi). We stayed in 3 hotels and all exceeded our expectations. (By the way, staying on each hotel 2 or 3 days is a super way to go as it cuts down on packing, moving, etc.) The food was excellent and exciting (our only complaint being a so-called kobe beef hamburger which was terrible). The tour certainly gave us a feel for Japan and its citizens, who consistently met us with much warmth and friendliness. We highly recommend visiting Japan, and we highly recommend using a tour such us this to make the most of your experience.

JDT staffs are very helpful. Helping and Answering questions promptly.
10days tour but that included arrival, departure,and 1 free day on our own. So the tour with this group basically 7 days.
The hotels, bus, program and guide are perfectly set. I really have a great time in this 7 days.

We really enjoyed this tour and learned a little bit about Japan and its culture. The tour guide was very helpful in recovering Carmen's pursue lost in the bullet train. Thanks again Keigo!

My wife and me really enjoy this trip, our tour guy Hide was wonderful, the hotels, breakfast , lunches and dinners were spectacular. We visited many castles , museums , markets, parks etc.. my wife was stunning with cherry blossom everywhere..highly recommend

Great tour with great people

Amazing...The tour itinerary and the tour guido were perfect. Food was great, places we visited were fabulous... A dreamed trip

The tour was wonderful. Each day was jammed packed with activities. This is perfect for people who like Anime, but absolutely great for those who don’t but enjoy learning about Japan’s pop culture. Combined with Japan’s traditional highlights, it was a trip to remember. Loved TeamLab, Sky Tree, Bamboo Forest visit in rickshaw, Ghibli Museum and digital lazer tag! Express pass a must at Universal Studios - able to hit most of the best rides with little to no wait. All tour guides we had were passionate about their job. I would have loved to see Sumo wrestling, I hear there is one comedic one with retired wrestlers. Meeting a maiko/geisha and Q/A was fun. Accommodations were good and included breakfast buffets! Thanks again

My husband and I had a lovely experience in Japan thanks to Japan Deluxe Tours. From the initial booking, the process was super organized with frequent communication. The hotels worked out great and we liked the order of the cities we visited. Tokyo first and then ending in beautiful Hiroshima. The tour covered so much more then we could have seen on our own. We would highly recommend them!

It was a fabulous tour! It was well organized, with knowledgeable guides, especially Kazo, who spent a lot of time with us and took the time to inform us as the bus progressed. The food was delicious, and the beauty of the omnipresent cherry blossoms was unparalleled.

Katzu was a great guide who went above & beyond!!! Knows his stuff and kept it fun, entertaining and educational.

The tour we went on was a whirlwind of new and fun experiences. Each stop was well chosen and the guides, especially Kazu, we're phenomenal. It was a perfect first trip to Japan, though at some points we wished there had been slightly fewer stops and more time to fully enjoy every location. Regardless, we had a great time and will definitely be taking more trips to Japan in the future.

Coming from getting a tour company for a Japan trip cancelling us 3 times in a row, Japan Deluxe Tours came to the rescue for us! Me and my partner went with the Private Discover Japan 10 day tour route and Yuki helped us all the way through from helping us booking the tour, our flights, to even recommending activities. The communication is top notch too, from emailing about activities to giving direct updates from the other guides via Whatsapp. For those with allergies, they are very careful to book and help guide us to which hotel and eatery is safe from certain allergens too. The local eatery spots are so much fun and makes you feel like a local :) This group is the only one in my book that has DisneySea as a part of the optional itinerary where as others don't offer at all. Aside from the major highlights of Japan, there were some unique stuff they recommended. For example if you are a Final Fantasy fan, they had some guides who knows about it too and they recommended us a place besides Eorzea Cafe that none of us knew about even as a long time Final Fantasy fan. Out of my experience, we went on the Shinkansen a lot more than the previous tour I've been to so that was a huge plus. Also it was really fun to go on the local trains too :D The other local guides are the best so major shout out to: Kyoko, Fumihiko, Yoshito, Hisayo, Ayako, Nobuko~! All of you guys and Japan Deluxe Tours are the best~! Thank you so much for making our first private tour so memorable!

From the people to the Convenience Stores (especially FamilyMart), we miss every thing about Japan, especially Kyoto.
We are going to save our funds again, but Japan is definitely on our go to list in the future again.

Keigo-san is the BEST tour guide we have ever had. Skillful and very caring, he is wonderful!

The trip was unbelievable. Our guide l, Miho, was great!!! We really appreciate the whole process, from booking to getting back!
Thank you so much for everything!!

The tour of Japan with Japan Deluxe Tours was fantastic! Miho, our tour guide, was very informative and knowledgable. She would always go out of her way to ensure that our experience was nothing short of excellent! Highly recommend booking this tour when you visit Japan as you are guaranteed to see many of the beautiful sites/locations Japan has to offer. 10/10!!
