A&C Tours Japan

In November/December 2022 we booked a Shades of Autumn trip to Japan with A&C Tours Japan. Our itinerary began in Osaka and included time in Himeji, Hiroshima, Takamatsu, Kobe, Kyoto, Hakone and Tokyo. We travelled chiefly by the wonderfully efficient Japanese train network including the shinkansen for longer journeys. We visited shrines and beautiful gardens where the maple leaves had started to fall. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum was a highlight and not to be missed. This was a fantastic tour with superb walks in the autumn sunshine and a genuine taste of Japanese landscape and culture. The welcome & farewell dinners were excellent book ends and we were happy to be left to our own devices for dinner on other evenings - which provided a further opportunity to explore. At all times we found the Japanese people, helpful, welcoming and unfailingly polite. 

We cannot recommend Craig Campbell highly enough! Craig was organised, well-prepared, punctual and a nice chap (with a good sense of humour!). Speaking Japanese fluently, Craig guided us without fuss at all times. We can thoroughly recommend A&C Tours Japan and Craig Campbell without hesitation.
