In terms of fun factor, definitely 10/10. We had tons of fun canoeing and swimming in the cold water. However we want to point out that it is not safe to hike wearing wetsuit shoes, no matter the fitness level, you should let the group wear proper hiking boots. Food was simple yet filling. Still overall a lot of fun.

We spent a most amazing 10 days in Hokkaido thanks to Hokkaido Treasure Island Travel. The attention to details and our preferences were much appreciated. Our travel consultant Eriko Kakudate san took the extra mile by personally meeting with us prior to the trip. Our preferences and interests as well as our budget and the length of our stay were taken into consideration to carefully plan a trip that was unique, fulfilling and enjoyable. We enjoyed the suggested destinations largely because they weren't the usual tourist traps. We had private lessons in glass blowing, soba making and Japanese sweets. We enjoyed our interaction with the locals and the exposure to the culture. We did not feel rushed at all in our itinerary and had time to spend in places where we wanted to stay longer. Eriko san was very thorough and communicated with us as needed specially when we had to reschedule our trip. We appreciate her work and dedication. We are thankful that she took the time to meet us upon arrival and again on two other occasions to ask how we were and even share a meal. She is an asset to HTIT. Our personal driver Shuji Takeuchi san was likewise excellent. He was very professional and recommended good places to eat in and experiences to try (like the onsen and eating local food). He made sure we were comfortable with the vehicle we used and offered even free use of his wifi and AC to charge our phones. He even volunteered to take our photos. We appreciate that he was mindful that one of us had physical limitations. He assisted us each time we checked in our hotels and helped us with room preferences. Our trip was made memorable largely because of HTIT. It was the best way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our thanks to HTIT, Eriko san, Shu san and all the wonderful people we met. We shall return.

This was a tremendously fun activity for the whole family! The instructors were very kind and true experts in the art of ninjas. From introducing hand signals at the beginning to demonstrating stealth and combat techniques, this was a highly entertaining and also educational experience. The two hours simply flew by. There were so many different activities that every moment was an adventure of sorts, but my children particularly enjoyed the shuriken throwing and blow darts. From a parent's perspective, it was great being able to trust the teachers, who are really professionals, to create a challenging yet safe lesson. There is also a store that sells some great mementos for the kids, as well as genuine ninja artifacts for adults who want a piece of history. Lastly, the lessons are very reasonably priced and a very good value. I cannot recommend Ninja Dojo highly enough -- my kids are now ninjas for life and this is hands down the most memorable part of our Kyoto vacation!

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.
