JST 10 Day Indy Trip

I joined this tour hoping to avoid crowded resorts overrun with foreigners. This tour delivered exactly that and completely met my expectations. The company was a pleasure to deal with and they seem to be really engaged in their work and always acted with integrity. Our host (it is not "guided" as such, rather you are escorted from resort to resort with a host present to make it all happen smoothly), was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, personable, well-organised and fun.

The resorts ranged from very small to mid-sized and I enjoyed each one of them. I found the Tohoku region very enjoyable and interesting. I had been not looking forward to the various bus trips between resorts, but it turned out to be a highlight as the scenery was amazing and so interesting.

The staff at all of the hotels were very helpful and the hotels were comfortable and clean. All of them had onsens and we made use of these every night.

I think the cost is very fair considering it includes all transfers, a host, lift tickets (for non-Indy pass holders) and breakfast and dinner each day, which were generally of excellent standard.

I would not hesitate to book this trip again. Note the schedule is quite demanding but there is opportunity to take a rest day any time you feel like it.
