Excellent tour. I loved the variety of accommodation options from the old traditional Roykans to the more modern upmarket. The food was excellent albeit in some instances more than I could comfortably eat! Have the numerous onsen experiences was wonderful particularly after our days walk. Our guides Quinlan and Kiyomi were so lovely and complimented each other when explaining the cultural/historic significance of walks each day. A pretty dynamic duo I must say! So friendly and helpful. Both are extremely knowledgeable and it was lovely to hear from both of them. I found the information video covering the Mt Ontake earthquake was excellent. Something I wasn’t really aware of, I think it’s so important to understand these things. The pace of the tour was really good and I loved having time at the end of the day to relax and enjoy the onsens at our various accommodation. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends.
