Stories from real trips
Groups who travelled to Japan with us
We've traveled around Japan on our own many times, but this time we wanted a more comfortable trip with a deeper experience than going by ourselves. It was fun and great value! The service was very impressive. Rin took wonderful care of us from the first tour inquiry to the end of the trip. We'll be using See You Again as our regular company for every trip.
We could have traveled to Japan on our own, but since we wanted to try Japan's delicious restaurants and didn't have time to do the research and book the tables, we thought it was better to let the tour company take care of it. They are, of course, more professional than we are.
We have both elderly family members and a child, so we didn't want to take the train because handling the luggage would be difficult. We decided to travel privately instead. It was really worth the price we paid, and it became one of the best trips our family has ever had.
