Well explained, you have a lot of doubts about Japan and the tour. Although he didn’t adapt so much to the group, my family was clueless and ignored him, he doesn’t know much about group driving or what info to give for this type of people. But overall it was fine, it was in Spanish. It does not include train tickets for the island. It is a bit expensive for what you offer purchased with the rest of the tour we take in the country. If you want to learn take it, but if you come with a limited budget, you can do everything on your own without a theme.
