1 independent reviews for Japan small group tours

Hey Helen We are so glad to hear you had a great time in Japan with a wonderful group of people! And great tip for other travelers! Many of our tours have specific activities that group members can engage in that visibly and directly benefit the environment and local community. Our Japan Adventure is not as directly visible to our groups, however to clarify all suppliers used in the tour whether that be the Buddhist temple, Sushi making class, Samurai lesson or any others, are all local small businesses, so we have a direct positive impact on their livelihoods. I am sorry you felt vegans and vegetarians weren’t really considered, we try to visit a variety of local restaurants so group members can sample a range of authentic Japanese food. Japanese cuisine is known for its use of meat and fish, and even stocks and sauces tend to contain meat. Because of this, vegetarian and vegan options can be hard to find, especially outside of cities. Restaurants in Japan also tend to be catered to certain types of food - such as sushi, ramen, gyoza or tempura. At restaurants our group leaders will always make sure group members with dietary requirements know what they can eat, and ensure they have enough variety in meals. When this is not possible, the group leader will help find alternatives and suggest veggie-friendly restaurants for free evenings. Thank you for your comments and feedback, it is really important to us. We hope to see you again soon!
