The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.

I went with a group of friends for the first in Japan and it was wonderful. We went in 2019 in April and the weather was amazing during that period. We went on a hike through the forest to the waterfall and our guide was very friendly and knwoledgeable. She told us about the local culture and she was one of the best parts of this trip, very kind and attentive. She took us snorkeling as well, we went paddling to an insland close by and snorkled in the ocean. At the end of our 1-day trip we stopped by her house, all wooden and build from scratch by her, which we found amazing. I definitely recommend her and the Okinawa island experience.

While we were sad to have to cancel our July trip to Japan due to the pandemic, we found the process of working with Japan Awaits to be easy and efficient. I can't speak to the full experience since we weren't able to go, but filling out the form and our communication with the company was no problem. And their prompt and courteous response to our request for a refund speaks to their professionalism. We will definitely come back to ask for their help in procuring tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum when we do finally make it to Japan! Fingers crossed for next summer.
