What Our Clients are Saying
The trip was everything I hoped for
“The tour was a window into authentic Japan – its history, traditions, quirkiness and magnificence, and beauty. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
Jill, Deb & Rory – Minneapolis, MN
Exceeded expectations
“Thank you so much for this amazing trip. You two made this past week one of the most memorable times in my life and exceeded any expectations I had. Your love and respect for Japan is contagious.
I really appreciated how we never rushed anywhere, especially navigating subways/trains with luggage. It was so nice to be able to grab water or use the restroom, if needed. Having that time so well planned made such an action-packed trip feel relaxing!”
Amanda – Newark, NJ
This set the bar for future travel
“We can’t thank you enough for all your planning, organizing, & guidance. You’re both such genuine people, and it’s obvious that you cherish Japan – it is visible how much you enjoy sharing its culture.”
Lora & Ryan – Birmingham, AL
Unforgettable Memories
“Thank you for sharing your love and passion for this amazing country, and for making this trip one that will forever be in our hearts!”
Lindsey, Jake, and Gavin – Charlotte, NC
Above and beyond expectations
“Your passion for Japanese culture gave us an experience that would have been impossible to achieve on our own.
This trip went above and beyond any expectations we had, especially not having to worry about travel logistics (i.e., which trains to take and when), having guided time balanced with private time, and your guidance on Japanese customs/culture that would have taken years to learn.
Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us. We will absolutely be back.”
John & Krista – Philadelphia, PA
You guys Rock!!
“Japan on your own would be humbling & stressful, even for an experienced traveler. You not only made it “stress-free,” you imparted your love of Japan & its customs in a way that made sure everyone enjoyed the trip and fell in love with the country too.
My admiration for your commitment, knowledge, energy, planning, hard work and care knows no limit. Thank you for everything – for helping me understand & appreciate Japanese culture & history, for showing me its beauty, its efficiency & its fun!”
Rene – Duluth, MN
A Fantastic way to see a lot of Japan
“Thank you both for being wonderful hosts and showing us this beautiful country. I loved it all! I couldn’t have asked for a nicer group of people to travel with.”
Donna – Monroe, CT
Could not have been better
“The organization, choices, and timing of the tour could not have been better. We would not have been able to see, do and eat in one month on our own compared to what you two fit into 10 days. Bravo!”
Chris & Maggie – Newark, NJ
Well done!
“Thank you for making this trip so special. It wasn’t so much any one particular thing, but more how you put everything together. The way the entire trip just flowed; from getting on and off trains to managing the group dynamics. It’s obvious that you have considered every last detail.
You care deeply about the culture and it shows. You want to make sure that we don’t just see the sites, but really learn and understand the remarkable people and their culture. Most people don’t get that on a normal tour.
This wasn’t a tour. This was a trip with friends. Thank you for that.”
Mike & Kim – Dallas, TX
The Way to Experience Japan

Bob – Boston, MA
You made our vacation wonderful!
“Without a doubt, you have made this trip one of the most special visits we have taken. You shared the culture of this country with us through western eyes. Your attention to details left us feeling comfortable and special. We enjoyed so many places and things, but none less than your company. Never stop exploring!”
Alan & Cristina – Chicago, IL
Best Adventure!
“This wasn’t a tour… this was traveling with friends. Feeling totally like a Japanese resident, not like tourists looking at the country but being of one with the people in the country.”
Bob & EJ – Fort Lauderdale, FL
Priceless
“The trip costs a lot, but honestly what you guys have given us is priceless. I will see you next year!”
Doug – Denver, CO
Hands down the best!
“Japan and More is hands down the best! Becki and Shawn, you rock! Everywhere we went was unique and fun to explore. We really enjoyed learning the history and cultural significance of the places we visited. Thank you so much for everything!”
Alexis & Eric – Salt Lake City, UT
Great Tour of Japan
“I loved the “breadth” of the trip from mega cities to small towns. It was well paced with something interesting going on each day. Enjoyed traveling on public transport!”
Amy – Washington, DC
Highly recommend without hesitation
“I appreciated Becki and Shawn’s efforts to help our group better understand local cultural norms. They had tremendous patience and we learned so much! Thank you again!”

“I liked how you made us feel like you were showing friends around rather than being a tour.”
Russ – Los Angeles, CA
A memorable experience
“I just want you to know how much I enjoyed your tour. I love how much work you did in our predeparture preparation. Then, while on the tour, you took care of everything. I felt well cared for. Thanks again for making this such a memorable experience.”
Lucy – San Francisco, CA
A superb tour
“This was a superb tour for a first time visitor and one who is fit and eager to explore. Both of you are not only super knowledgeable and experienced, but also so welcoming and nice. You made every one of us feel like a special guest (and friend). Can’t thank you enough!”
Joy & Mark – Cincinnati, OH
Far Exceeded Expectations
“We loved this trip so much. You both helped with everything and more. We did so many things and it never felt rushed or hectic. We look forward to having you show us Japan (and more) in the future.”

A Trip We Will Never Forget
“Thank you so much for providing us with your expert guidance on a trip of a lifetime! We will remember this forever. You took such good care of us. The small group experience is so much better than the big “tour bus” trip. We enjoyed getting to know everyone and benefitting from your valuable advice.”
Jane & Joe – Shoreview, MN
A Priceless Experience
“We are so happy with our decision to use Japan and More! Without the planning and guidance that Becki and Shawn provided, we would not have experienced so many of the special wonders that Japan has to offer. They helped us maximize our time and savor each moment, stress-free! A priceless experience in my opinion.”
Leah & Alan – Austin, TX
Every day was a new adventure!
