A pleasure to travel their country and […]
We felt blessed when we were greeted by the lovely guide at Osaka airport after a long queue for fingerprinting, face recognition etc. Of course we were weary, and it was a great luxury to be swept to the hotel in a very flash Toyota limo. Hyatt very good. Room on first Japanese second floor, so a good view of the roof below, but it was […]

Dear Lily;We had a phantastic time at Niseko, the accommodation at the Vale was excellent as it offered a very spacious lounge with kitchen and dining as well as two very comfortable bedrooms with beautiful views to the slopes and Mount Youthie. The location of the Vale is also very convenient. Overall we had good weather and fine snow. However the biggest discovery was the friendlyness of the […]
Hey Clem Just wanted to write and say we had the most amazing time in Japan. It was so diverse everything we did.

Hi Olivia, We are back now from a highly enjoyable ski trip to Myoko. Everything went really well. My only piece of feedback for new travellers is to take the phone number for the Myoko tourist office with them (they have english speakers). We got stuck in Nagano because the trains were not running to Myoko because of heavy snow. I placed a call to […]

Dear Yoshi A belated thank you for an excellent holiday. All went very well and the arrangements were smooth. The Japanese people seemed even more polite than before, if that is possible, and we greatly enjoyed our trip. There was a lot of snow in Nozawa – actually, it pretty much snowed the whole time we were there, and we really enjoyed both the Grand Hotel […]
Hi Clem, I just thought I would drop you a quick line with feedback on my trip to Korea which Scott put together for me. Everything was fantastic, Seoul was freezing cold but a very interesting place. Ramada Hotel and Suites, great location, walked to the market and even the N Seoul Tower, very limited English spoken Within the Hotel which was a […]
