This was more of a walk along roads, not a trek. It was not a long walk to the train station.

Very handy, nice atmosphere, comfortable. Loved seeing the little dogs as was a dog hotel as well!!

Good location, sunny area for brreakfast. Comfortable and reasonable size room.

Very basic accomodation. We were only the one night and out most of the time so it didn't matter so much.

Nice front desk staff, polite. Very comfortable, nice size room and bathroom a little larger which was nice. Good breakfast.

This hotel was pleasant, staff were really nice and restaurant good. Room was a little small and felt a bit strange as was in the basement level. I booked this one so no reflection on Kimkim!!

Hotel in need of a refurbish, especially carpet. Room smaller than usual and quite stuffy, beds and pillows not very comfortable. Breakfast was good and staff very helpful. Luggage service to Okayama was brilliant and much appreciated.

The temple stay was as we expected; still, found the sleeping arrangement i.e.: futons pretty hard going and the food was interesting... However, this was part of the authentic experience!!

Hotel is nothing special but all that is required. Rooms were comfortable and good size, breakfast a bit of a strange mixture of food types!

very nice but nothing really special. Rooms small for US but nice for Japan. Great bathroom. Good restaurant.

we were pleasantly surprised by how big the room was

Really nice to walk around with Summer

We loved being in the nice private car. Definitely an upgrade from a bus. The driver really knew the area and took us to a great small local restaurant

Mr. Tan was super nice and knowledgeable. He changed the experience since we'd already been to the imperial gardens

The Nagoya Castle grounds and Tokugawa Garden were very nice and the Nabano no Sato Illumination was an unexpected bonus to end our day.

The day was special because we had the opportunity to tour Inuyama Castle, one of Japan's few remaining original castle structures. We also enjoyed the demonstration of dolls and puppets in the Inuyama Castle Historical Museum annex, Karakuri Exhibition Room. Truly an unique Japanese experience.

This day involved two craft projects - chop stick gold leaf design and kimono cloth painting recommended by Asia Highlights that were outside our normal vacation day activities. We enjoyed the creative challenge and appreciated the guidance of the shop staff and the support from our guide Nina. These activities also generated souvenirs that well serve as great memories of our time in Kanazawa.

We suggested Kanazawa as a city to Asia Highlights that we would like to visit and it more than exceeded our expectations. It is a beautiful city and after having experienced the crowds in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, a welcome change. Kanazawa Castle and the neighbouring Kenrokuen Garden are must sees when travelling to Japan.

The market streets of Takayama were historic and interesting and we did a lot of shopping, causing us to be a little delayed in reaching Shirakawago. Shirakawago is beautifully situated and it gave us a glimpse of Japanese country life from centuries ago. Our guide Nina and driver Lyo recognized that we were enjoying ourselves, were very patient and put in extra time.

Easily the best hotel we stayed at on our trip. The shuttle to get to and from was easy and arrived/departed as expected. The onsen was incredible and the meals (both dinner and breakfast) were personalized, adventurous and delicious.

Hotel was clean with friendly front desk staff. Rooms were incredibly small but well kept. Location was not ideal but with a close stop to the subway, we were able to get anywhere we wanted to go. Hotel was unable to store our bags for a couple days despite us staying at the same location on our way out of town which made us have to pay for luggage storage elsewhere.
