Hello Siva,
Sorry for the response.
Everything was perfect especially the hotel in tokyo and the tour . Hotel in Kyoto and Osaka is a little bit small for the 3 pax but its ok coz it's near to the train station.
Again Siva thank you very much.
Best regards.

Tour exceed our expectations. There a lot to cover and not enough time. Beautiful country and very organized society.
Dear Siva,
First of all please accept oursincere appreciation for the wonderful arrangements you made for our tour toJapan. All the sightseen tours were very interesting and enjoyable. The tourguides were up to date with all the information and was very educative.
Travelling to and from the hotels todesignated places of pickup was not difficult at all and after the firsttwo days we were quite used to getting about.
Hotels which you had selected for uswere very comfortable and had easy access to all the pickup points and also tosome shopping areas. Staff members of all the hotels were very helpful at alltimes.
Once again Thank you very much forall the arrangements.
Chandrika and Suresh

Drivers and Cars | 5 | He did everything he could to make sure our crazy itinerary worked out. Made good suggestions, though a bit talkative at times. | |
Hotels | Location | 5 for all hotels/Ryokan except- Breezebay -Matsushima 3 | We were consistently impressed by most of the places we stayed.
Breezebay was too far from the coast for an easy stroll in the evening. Steep climb up from town. Expected us to grill our own dinner outside (we did), but food provided was excellent quality. |

Sights or Activities | Worthiness of Visit | 5 | Everything was great. Lake Ashi was total rainy unfortunately (not your fault). Rauf suggested a few other things that were also great. Jiguokudani Was fabulous! |
Meet Your Interests? | 5 | Met or exceeded expectations. | |
Too Tight or Too Loose? | 5 | Most days were just perfect for us. Things were tight, but that's how we wanted it. | |
Meals | 5 except for Breezybay 3 | Almost all places were superb. I BarBQ every weekend at home. When on vacation, I do not need to cook for myself. | |
Public Transportation (train, flight, cruise, etc.) | 4-5 | Trains on time perfectly. Japan rail system is amazing. Just a lot of up and down with suitcases. | |
Any Other Aspect | 5 | Novaland, especially Lily did a wonderful job of putting together a most difficult sightseeing tour. |
Lily- Photos to follow. I'm sure Rauf has already sent you some,but I will send more. As a professional, I shoot images in RAW format, so itmay take a week or two to process my approximately 2000 photos. Fear not,they will be forthcoming. Thanks again for your consistently greatattention.

Hi Cindy,
Thank you for your time and scheduling. Our guide Hiroshi was excellent. If ever we go to Hokkaido again, I will ask for him.
I will refer my friends to you for your help.

except the confusion of the location of the PJ hotel in Seoul. Supposed to be in Myendong but it is in downtown , so the driver said wrong address and took him a while to find out. And the hotel cleanliness is not up to the 4 star . The carpet is very dirty the slippers provided were worn off too. Room smells cigarettes . It was only 2 nights stay so we did not complain . The free shuttle bus to Myendong is very convenient . Apart from cleanliness and confusion of the address , the hotel is ok.

Only inconvenience was when we flew from Seoul to Busan , the flight was delayed for 30 mins and we arrived hotel around 10 pm. Although the restaurants closed at 11 pm they did not accept customers after 10 pm. Hotel restaurant closed at9:30 pm so we end up buying any available food at convenient store. The tour could have been scheduled to finish earlier and let us catch the flight earlier , in case any delay like that .
