Had a great trip. Had we traveled independently, we could not have seen half of what we saw in the same amount of time. Two crucial factors: 1) quality of the guides; 2) small size of the group.
Itinerary
Excellent choices, seemed to hit all the high points. Itinerary was crowded but had to be given brief time available. Guides were flexible and sometimes made adjustments as opportunities presented themselves; perhaps the fact that our group was very small helped make that possible.
Lodging
Quality varied, some better than others. As for ryokans, the one in Takayama was excellent, authentic and picturesque; the one in Abishiri had ryokan accommodations but felt more like a hotel.
Food
Authentic, good experience. Appreciated the opportunities for independent exploration.
Guides
All the certified guides were professional and personable. They gave us as much information as we could handle, answered all our questions, and did not leave any dead time. They made the trip. As for the transfer agents, they all worked hard and fast, and we did not miss any connections.
Pre-Tour Handbook
Plenty of information. History section was great.
