Postcard from Japan

"From our first outing in Tokyo, visiting a beautiful Shinto shrine, to our final walk in Kyoto, the whole trip was spectacular. Our guide was excellent, always ready to help, translate, explain and enlighten us on any matters Japanese. The minshuku and ryokan were all very comfortable and welcoming, with lovely food."
