Enjoyed Japan very much. Beautiful country. Will definitely return in the near future to see more. The tours were well planned and I enjoyed all the accommodations.

Great tour from start to finish! Kiyoshi helped us put together an excellent itinerary for our private 2 week tour for 3 couples that included seats at the Kyoto Jidai Festival, a highlight of our trip. We had spoken to several other tour companies and none new about the festival or that it would be taking place when we were in Japan. This was one of many reasons we went with AJT. Justin was great at helping us finalize all of our trip details. All of the logistics of the trip went off without a hitch, from airport pickup, to luggage transfers, drivers and guides, everything went smoothly. The tour was a very nice mix of sight seeing and fun activities. Our guides, Mr. Fukui in Kyoto and Mr. Ken in Tokyo, , were terrific. They were both extremely knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and enthusiastic and took excellent care of us. Thank you AJT for a wonderful trip.

The guides that All Jan provided us were amazing and knowledgeable!! The hotels were spectacular! I will highly recommend them to friends and family traveling to Japan, they were great!

What a fantastic trip. We will have memories for years, and now feel empowered to explore more on our own. Guides were all very attentive and made the experience so much more meaningful. As two travelers in Japan with zero Japanese, we felt as though we were in good hands with Ken (Tokyo/Hakone), Hajime (Kyoto/Osaka), and Taka (Hiroshima)

Hotels and guides were great. We enjoyed all of the sites and the free time during the days to do a few things by ourselves.
