Thank you so much for an incredible trek!! Everything was thoughtfully planned out, from the sightseeing tours to the food. I felt like I got to experience different aspects of Japanese culture through the ryokan dinner and onsen in Atami, yakatabune dinner cruise, the visits to different shrines and important sites like thr Golden pavillion. All the activities jtrek leaders and HIS leads planned were so fun!

I had a wonderful time exploring Japan. Thank you for organizing a great trip! Logistics were seamless.

By Ashay G for University of Michigan- JAPAN TREK 2024 on May 28, 2024

good trip

By Ken M for University of Michigan- JAPAN TREK 2024 on May 28, 2024

Great trip to Japan! I felt that the trip had a good balance of organized group activities and individual free time. I was glad to have seen a lot of the country in just one week! The guides were helpful and provided excellent commentary to give background and context to the sites we were seeing. Logistically this trek ran without any issues and I loved that the selected hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto were very centrally located and allowed for easy commuting. I can't wait to return to Japan after having done this trip!

By Dan S for University of Michigan- JAPAN TREK 2024 on May 22, 2024

I appreciate the amount of work put in this trip to make it a smooth and a great experience for everyone! It was an amazing trip, though one week was absolutely not enough. I would appreciate more time in Tokyo, so I am probably coming back on my own to explore more. Thank you for the trip!
