Back from Japan today. We had a wonderful time and the 3 day tour was fantastic. Thanks very much for all your help with organising.

Kind regards

To JTB Sunrise Tours, Japan Airlines and the Japanese Community, and all the staff at the Hotels.

This is an open letter from my Wife and myself to thank each and every one who made our visit to Japan the BEST Holiday we have ever had.

It all started with JAL when we flew over and we had no inflight entertainment for the 10hour flight, it was not much of an issue and all credit to JAL as they offered us a positive outcome when we returned from Tokyo back to Sydney. The professionalism and politeness of the JAL staff, both on the ground and the flight crews was exceptional and is a credit to the Airline and a great representation of the people of Japan.
Our Tour guides for the tours we did were exceptional, particularly Atsushi who did our 1 Day Tour of Tokyo on the 2nd April. He was informative, patient, answered all our questions with politeness and he even sang, which was a great treat for all of us on the bus. We would also like to Thank Yoshihisa Odaka who was our Guide for our ½ day Electric Bike Tour around Tokyo, and the best Tour we did while in Japan. Yoshi was so good and so informative, that we had the best time riding around Tokyo on bikes seeing things from a different prospective than we would otherwise get. He showed us some fascinating sites, he had some remarkable stories to tell and was an absolute pleasure to have as our guide. I had so much fun doing this tour that I will be recommending it to all my friends if they travel to Japan.

While in Japan we stayed at the following Hotels and found them to be excellent and the service provided also excellent.

• JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku
• Red Roof Plus Osaka Namba
• Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku

We visited the following places while visiting Japan:

Tokyo – Ginza District, Shibuya, Ueno Park & Zoo, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Samurai Museum, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, and generally explored around where we were staying.

Osaka – The Floating Garden, Kyoto, Hiroshima & Miyajima, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Sake Tasting Tour, Osaka Castle, Tower Knives (my favourite shop!!)

The Green Car JR Rail passes we purchased were a very good idea and we used them extensively on our travels around Japan. ALL the JR staff were fantastic when we needed support to find directions to places and the platforms to get there, Australia could learn a thing or two about how to run an effective rail network. We stayed near Shinjuku station and the sheer size of it and the volume of people it handles each day is awesome!!

At all the places we visited, the people were friendly, helpful and willing to help even though we speak NO Japanese. The communication barrier was not that hard to overcome as the people of Japan have a willingness to help us silly Tourists.

This trip to Japan was a major Bucket List item for me and with all the activities we participated and all the places we visited, I have nearly completed my list. This holiday is one I will remember for the rest of my life because it was as close to perfect as you could get and that can only happen when all things work in harmony, and Japan showed me that this is possible and can be achieved in our daily lives.

We are deeply and humbly thankful to all the people who made this trip a TRIP OF A LIFETIME, and one we will never forget.

Our Deepest and sincere thanks
Dale & Sheree

Hi Marie

JTB was a great resource. The knowledge and simplicity of booking the packages for a school trip was amazing. I was assigned Marie as a consultant and she was very professional, prompt in responses and full of advice and knowledge. I love that the package was so flawlessly put together, and that we could easily include add on for extra activities. I also liked how contact was easily made with JTB offices both in Australia as well as Japan. I highly recommend JTB’s service and packages, should you be looking for an efficient, cost effective and easily contactable agency.

Kind regards,
Samantha

Hi Joshua

We are home from our week in Tokyo following our cruise to Japan.

Everything was great and thanks for your assistance. Trains system took a little time to get used to but with the Suica card handy we were able to go forward with confidence after a day.
The 2 day excursions were quite good although Pat had trouble with the stairs at the Nikko Heritage site.
Also the Grand Prince New was good particularly it’s closeness to Shinagawa railway station.
Thanks again for organising our end of cruise stay and we would gladly recommend you and JTB to our friends.

Hi Chris,

You do go above and beyond! Do you ever do just the standard or do you always deliver excellence – Yes, you do always wow me!
You do always deliver extraordinary service and attention and I am very grateful. Thank you very much!

Hi Sunrise tours / JTB teams,

I just wanted to write to say a quick “thank you” for helping make my recent trip to Japan absolutely wonderful.

I booked several tours.   The tours all went smoothly. Each and every tour guide was professional, informative, organised and yet personable. Each guide was impressive!

In particular I would really like to recognise Yuki from Osaka 1-Day Bus Tour and Kyoto 1-Day Tour From Osaka with Lunch – Yuki was particularly knowledgable and had a fantastic sense of humour – each tour with Yuki went very quickly because Yuki made the tours so enjoyable! As a result I hope this quick email can be provided to her boss as a way of recognising Yuki’s work. On a personal level I would like to say “thank you” for the great tours and service provided!

Kind regards,
Shannon

Hi Olivia,

We returned back from Japan all safe and sound and our students had a terrific time. As always thank you so much for your assistance with booking our trip. Your efforts to help us have been amazing and we thank you lots for what you have done for us. You and JTB are extremely easy to work with which makes it so much easier for me to organize our trip. Thank you once again.

Kind regards,

Hi Olivia,

We are back and reality is sadly setting in. I just wanted to thank you for the work you did for us both before and during the trip, we both had an amazing time and I think it worked out perfectly! (Hayley would agree other than that one hotel)

So thankyou for your good work, we wish you all the best!

Kind regards,

Miyuki,

We are back now after an amazing trip. We loved every second and it proceeded without any hiccups. We loved the country and the calmness of its people and the charm of its culture.

Hi Olivia,
Thank you so much, we absolutely loved Japan and thanks for organising everything for us.

The last official day at the Sumo wrestling was great (it was the final), there was some confusion with Sunrise Tours, we ended up joining another tour, but it all worked out fine.

We will definitively go back and will recommend JTB to our networks.

Regards
Susanna

Dear Olivia,

We came back from Japan late Sunday night, after all went well.

Thank you for your assistance during the process of our planning.

Looking forward to working with you again in the near future.

Regards,
Nobuko

Hi Suzuka

As Discussed over the telephone I advise that the English speaking tour guides provided by 

JBT for eight days from Tokyo to Hiroshima were par EXCELLENT, in particular tour 

Guide ” Shima” was FABULAS.I thoroughly enjoyed Meals provided at various locations

Last but not the least services provided by yourself and your team in making the Tour booking,

Travel Insurance and Airline bookings were Efficient and very helpful.
