Japan Family Vacations & Tours

Zicasso’s travel specialist did a fabulous job planning our 12-day trip to Japan! We took our two kids (12 and 14 years old) and worked together to come up with such an amazing and fun itinerary covering all of our interests.

In addition to seeing the sights around Tokyo and Kyoto, the travel specialist found us classes in and outside of the cities for sushi-making, Shibori fabric dyeing, and bamboo basket-making. We had the most wonderful guides, drivers, and translators take us to an organic green tea farm (an unexpected favorite!) and even managed to get tickets to the Ghibli Museum.

We had a phenomenal time and I look forward to working with this travel company again.

Zicasso’s travel specialist is amazing! She went out of her way to plan the best trip for 11 of us to Japan. She listened and understood exactly what we wanted. She is sweet and truly cares. Not only this, but she responds quickly.

As an added bonus, the travel company was reasonable, especially for all that was included. We were spoiled and had a driver and guide for most of the trip, so we did not have to worry about anything. We were also booked at lovely hotels, with delicious breakfasts and spacious rooms.

We absolutely loved our guide in Osaka and Kyoto. She was wonderful! She even got us hand warmers and gifts for Christmas! She was relaxed, positive, and went with the flow. She stayed later at times for us too! Our driver in Tokyo was able to get us a last-minute restaurant reservation for lunch because there was one more type of food we wanted to try there. He was very kind and flexible with us in Hakone too. Our guide in Tokyo was also very nice! Thank you to the team for our trip of a lifetime!!!!!

Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist was a pleasure the whole way through. He catered our Japan trip to our budget and interests, and delivered the trip of a lifetime. My wife and I had an absolute blast on the trip—we stayed in amazing hotels in fun areas, had awesome activities planned, and leveraged the super-helpful recommendations to get the most out of the experience.

Another great thing about working with the travel company was having all of our train tickets prepared for us when we landed. We were given a very organized packet of information on the cities we were staying in, with all of our train tickets organized chronologically and a pre-filled subway card that we added to our phones for easy access. This made travel so much easier and helped us on our adventure.

Overall, I would highly recommend working with Zicasso and this tour operator to anyone planning a big international trip.

Zicasso’s travel agent gave us great ideas and put together an itinerary for our trip that met all of our desires. The team executed our hotels, tours, and travel details with precision and great care.

Zicasso's travel specialist was very good at interpreting what we were looking for. We were very pleased.

The travel plans were excellent, both for the train arrangements and the hotel accommodations. The three individual guides who escorted us on separate days were wonderful people. We would be delighted to encounter all three of them in the future.

We particularly enjoyed the activities and locations we were escorted to.

We’d definitely do this again with the same guides and the same attention to detail, given our travel and accommodations. Thank you.
