Japan Tour Review: History, Culture, 13 Nights

The trip was awesome! “Best trip ever” from my daughter. Zicasso’s travel agent planned the itinerary perfectly, with guided tours, our own time to explore, and a bit extra for shopping. There were plenty of suggestions for our free days, so we could choose the pace of our outings.

Japan Vacation Review: Local Cuisine, Drumming and Samurai Experiences, 10 Days

Yet another fantastic family trip, courtesy of a Zicasso partner! My family of six just returned from our 10-day trip to Japan, as coordinated with Zicasso's travel company, and we have nothing but wonderful stories and memories to report!

Our agent arranged every detail to perfection, from transportation to guides to activities. All four kids and both parents had a fantastic experience. The guides he selected were incredibly knowledgeable and personable, and the hotels and transportation were spot on. I have nothing to say but that it was a seamless, A+ experience.

Thank you to our agent and travel companyI!

Japan Travel Review: Tokyo, Hakone, Mount Fuji, Mount Inari, Sushi Class, Samurai Experience, Carpentry, Museums, History, Art, Culture, 14 Days

Zicasso's travel designer had less than three months to bring an amazing trip to life. Our goal was to experience the history, art, culture, and people of Japan. Mission accomplished!

There were so many highlights shared by our exceptional guides and drivers, who felt like friends and family by the trip's end. Some experiences surprised us with their creativity, joy, and value (slapstick sumo skits in Tokyo, the samurai sword experience, sushi class, open-air and Venetian glass museums in Hakone, and especially the Himeji Castle master carpenter tutorial). Though in our late 70s, walking five to seven miles per day and climbing 766-oot sacred Mount Inari weren't an issue.

The veracity of this review is paramount... the only experience we would forgo was spelunking (crawling) in the cold, wet lava cave, as in our ignorance, we were out of our element. We found joints we did not know we had! We are focused on collecting memories, not things. This fabulous trip achieved that goal. Thank you!
