My husband & I previously did a Heritage tour with JTB in 2008. This time, we wanted a private Tohoku trip, organized through JTB Sydney. Consultant Eri T was very patient and thorough! She helped us plan a personalized tour (noting our age preferences and inexperience with JR pass/bullet trains). She arranged JR East Passes, all accommodation pre- and post- , as well as Narita Exp […]

The version I have sent you has had minor updates, since we got back, to add in the things we found out while we were over there. eg. how to get to Hedo Misaki. General […]

Hello Olivia, Just wanted to say thank you for organising the tickets. They were there ready at the hotel. (The hotel staff were very efficient in all respects too).

And maybe if any other concerts pop up in the meantime […]
Hi Noriko I had an amazing time at both concerts! Concerts in Japan are definitely different to Australia! I went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I had the time of my life! It was sooooo hot!! Especially at the concerts! Our tickets were ready for us at the hotel. To be honest we almost forgot to ask about them!! In […]

Dear JTB, Thanks for making our trip one to remember. From the first moment we walked in to the Gold Coast Travel Centre we felt very welcome. Our highlight of the trip was at the Gold Coast theme parks in which you helped us get a great value combo. We will be back next year to do it all again. The McKenna family.
