Sumo was great (and it was the final!)

Wednesday, February 14th, 2018

Hi Olivia,
Thank you so much, we absolutely loved Japan and thanks for organising everything for us.

The last official day at the Sumo wrestling was great (it was the final), there was some confusion with Sunrise Tours, we ended up joining another tour, but it all worked out fine.

We will definitively go back and will recommend JTB to our networks.

Regards
Susanna

traditional Japanese Hotel near Mount Fuji

Friday, November 10th, 2017

Hi Suzuka

As Discussed over the telephone I advise that the English speaking tour guides provided by 

JBT for eight days from Tokyo to Hiroshima were par EXCELLENT, in particular tour 

Guide ” Shima” was FABULAS.I thoroughly enjoyed Meals provided at various locations

including a  Traditional  Japanese dinner  in traditional Japanese Hotel near Mount Fuji.

Last but not the least services provided by yourself and your team in making the Tour booking,

Travel Insurance and Airline bookings were Efficient and very helpful.

 

Thanking You,

 

OMG Japan was amazing!

Hi Georgia,

OMG Japan was amazing! Sorry I didn’t respond earlier, I just got back from my trip last Sunday and have been playing catch up since.

But the tour that you booked for us and Disneyland were fab! It was such a cool experience.

Thank you so much for all your help on this booking, you have been amazing. If I get any Japan enquiries, I will definitely be shooting you an email or calling you :)

Thanks

They had a ball!

Wednesday, November 8th, 2017

Hi Clement,

Just some feedback from my clients who have recently returned from Japan.

They had a ball!!! Everything worked really well, and they loved it all. The Gracery was fantastic, great location. MyStays in Kanazawa was brilliant – huge rooms and easy access.

The only negative feedback that they had was that the Abant in Shizuoka wasn’t a good property – mouldy and smelly.

The rest were fantastic!!

So, thanks for all your help.

 

 

Kind regards,

Lucy

The experience we will never forget.

Thursday, November 2nd, 2017

Hi Minji/Joshua,

Maureen and I returned to Sydney this morning following our trip to Japan and Seoul.

Although we completed a feedback survey following to completion of the tour we just wanted to say a huge thank you to both of you for the role you both played in making our tour Japanese/Seoul travel experience one we will never forget.

Minji everything you promised us happened exactly the way you said it would and met all of our expectations and more. Your contribution in making this trip so wonderful  was enormous and we cannot thank you enough for your efforts.

We will certainly come back to you in the future when planning further travel.

Josh your presence on the tour and the lengths you went to  make us and for that matter everyone on the tour  feel at ease ,safe and special  cannot be complimented enough. We so enjoyed touring  with you and really loved the way you expressed your passion not only for what   Japan has to offer  but also by going the extra yards to ensure that everyone got the full benefits that the tour had to offer.

Minji and Josh,  JTB Travel are so lucky to have people like you in their employ.

 

Thanks again.

Warm regards,

Ray and Maureen

Successful and enjoyable

Good morning Olivia

just wanted to let you know we had a very successful and enjoyable trip to Japan, and to say thanks for everything you organised for us. Hotels were very good and extremely convenient to stations, and the Japan Rail pass was a real bonus, making travel very easy.

Hey Guys,

This is a compliment email as I was in yesterday ( JTB Melb office) and was very happy with the service I received.

I didn’t get the name of the lady that served me but she was fantastic to deal with and very knowledgeable in all of the products that I enquired and purchased.  Keep up the great work and thank you for the great service, this is why I always come back to you guys.  I thought I would send an email to pass on the positive experience and great report on your representatives efforts.

Thank you so much,

Joshua

Truly wonderful and couldn’t fault anything!

Monday, October 23rd, 2017

Dear Clem

it was truly wonderful! We should have stayed longer!

I took lots of photos, of the dinner we ate (and one of the breakfast). The staff couldn’t do enough to please us. There were 2 spas, unfortunately we only found one of them as it was dark and we got lost. They offered to drive us there but Michael did not want to bother them.

The Meditation Spa was really good. The outdoor spa was the one we couldn’t find (would you believe) and we ran out of time. The room’s bath was wonderful (traditional bath) and the suggestion you made that we go to the second floor was brilliant. It made a huge difference!

Aesthetically the room, scenery and surroundings were really pleasing. They took a lot of care with the aesthetics. Michael was really happy with the heated floor and the double windows. The colourful turning trees (shades of red and orange) also added to the aesthetics.

The food was prepared with great attention to detail and presentation. I kept a copy of the menu (standard one) and also my one, which I will email you when I get home.

The miso is one of the specialties of the region (they pointed this out) as well as well as their apples. The tofu was really creamy and delicious (I only had a tiny bit). It was a local tofu and very rich – yum. The nut ice cream (for Michael) and sorbet for me were both also special. Michael was most impressed with the grilled salmon for breakfast. Really well prepared, Michael says.

The hoji cha and and the traditional whisked green tea were both also just right. Attention was given to the matching of food and the drinks with them.

The breakfast was worth the extra 8,000 (approx) yen – for 2 of us.

To summarise, it was wonderful!!!! Neither Michael nor I could fault anything!!!

We are both really grateful that you found and suggested this place for us!

I hope we can go back there again!

It really delivered on this idea of a retreat from ordinary life. A place to stop and reflect. Not even the rain could take away from the atmosphere (umbrellas were provided).

Thank you again from both of us!!!!

I will be in touch soon with photos (on a CD) and the menus etc from the Hoshinoya Karuizawa.

best wishes

Judith

Passed JTB details on to friends!

Wednesday, October 18th, 2017

Hi Olivia

Despite our late start we had a fabulous Japan trip. Thanks so much for organizing it. Our guide Yumi made our experience so much more enjoyable with her fountain of local information wherever we went plus her very happy & approachable nature. I would recommend her to anyone interested in touring Japan. She was always very organized & punctual & explained all we had to do each day in advance so there were absolutely no hitches

Again many thanks I have already passed on your JTB details to one friend & have other requests for your details.

Jenny Lucas

Thanks again for all your help.

Really exceeded our expectations

Friday, October 6th, 2017

Hello Minji. Well, the jet lag has gone and we are left to enjoy the memories of a  wonderful JTB tour of Japan. It really exceeded our expectations. Great guides, led of course by Maya;  impressive meals especially the welcome and farewell dinners; a good mix of fellow travellers two of  whom we plan to catch up within the next couple of weeks. It was a remarkable holiday and we are so glad we didn’t allow the political situation to put us off travelling.

We very much appreciated your help and guidance in putting our itinerary together. Thank you for your friendly efficiency!

 

Best wishes

 

Keith & Isabel
