"I had an unforgettable experience on the 9-day Japan Tour with TripOppo. Two of my favorite highlights were visiting Mt. Fuji and exploring Kyoto. The scenic views of Mt. Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi, combined with a peaceful cruise on the lake, were simply breathtaking. It felt surreal to witness such a magnificent natural landmark up close. Kyoto, on the other hand, offered a beautiful blend of history and culture. Walking through the famous Arashiyama Bamboo Grove was magical, and the visit to the Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji) was equally awe-inspiring. The contrast between the natural serenity and the architectural beauty left a lasting impression. The tour was well-organized, and every detail, from the accommodations to the transportation, made the journey smooth and enjoyable. I also appreciated the knowledgeable tour guides who shared so much insight into Japan’s rich history and traditions. Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the best of Japan in a well-structured and immersive way. Feel free to adjust any parts to better reflect your personal experience!"

"I had a fabulous time going on the 9 day Japan trip May 2024. From the beginning, I was very satisfied with the customer service at TripOppo offered by Candie. I am also grateful that she booked me on EvaAir. I had a wonderful in-flight experience. Although a guided tour, there is some opportunity for leisure time to explore the locations and taste different types of food. Felicia, was the tour guide and did a sufficient job. The hotels are not located in central areas so not much sightseeing unless you take the train. However, this is also a contributing factor to the cost of the trip being reasonable. Overall,The itinerary was a nice mix of culture, history, technology and food. Although it was a short trip, I was able to see and do a lot of things. This was a bucket list trip fulfilled. A suggestion or change that could be implemented or considered for the future is to replace some of the temple/shrine attractions with other attractions such as museums, karaoke, Hiroshima, Yokohama etc."
