Didn’t get to experience Japanese food as only 3 evening meals included and two of them were English style! Hotels varied from superb to 3 star standard.

Great tour but with 37 in the party, there were just too many participants. I would urge GRJ to limit numbers, as they have with European tours. Local Japanese guide was amazing and did her best to make up for some attractions which still closed due to COVID ( no fault of GRJ)

Not enough time in hokaido island. Could have seen more sites in cities eg Tokyo and Kyoto. Missed Osaka and Nagasaki from the itinerary Guides had poor or uncertain local knowledge

Holiday and tour manager was fantastic.Being single and paying supplements and getting double rooms with single beds were very poor. I would expect if paying supplements I would get a double bed the same as any couple.

Far to many on the tour - 37, took a long to embark and disembark trains and coaches. Itinerary very good, some descriptions in the itinerary were misleading.
