Expert Insight - Why we love Japan
"From my first visit to Japan ten years ago, I was absolutely hooked. For me, it is a country that has everything - culture, history, scenery, wonderful people and a level of quirkiness that really sets it apart from everywhere else I have ever been. I visit as often as I can, and each visit is as special as the last."
Will Sarson, Director of Product at Riviera Travel pictured at the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, Japan.

"The solo trip to Japan was everything I wanted and more!"
"It was very well organised with everything taken care of from hotels, train tickets, entrance tickets and bus trips. The hotels were first class and very comfortable. We had an excellent guide, Judy, who was very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. She shared the trip with local Japanese guides who were full of local information and customs. Very easy to understand and accommodating. The itinerary was full and varied with wonderful places to visit and it was indeed The Best of Japan."
