This trip was a great way to see a lot in a short time. I would not have been able to see even half of the things we were able to see if it was not for Shawn and Becki, who planned every detail. Many of our adventures were off the beaten path and away from the typical tourist sites. The trip flowed easily, and I enjoyed great hotels, great food, great company, and so many incredible adventures!

Trip of a lifetime
WOW-what an incredible experience. This was a bucket list trip for me and I did not want the tour bus tour. I wanted to experience the people and culture and this tour more than delivered, It truly felt we were traveling with a group of friends. It is evident the love & respect the locals have for Becki & Shawn. I was a little nervous going somewhere so foreign to what I know. But once there discovered Becki & Shawn had me totally prepared with their weekly emails and website. I thought Japan would de a one and done but I will definitely return one day- I already miss it!

Thank you so much for the incredible review, melking3. We are genuinely thrilled that this trip more than delivered and that you and S felt like you were just traveling with a group of friends.
It is completely natural to feel a bit nervous before traveling somewhere that feels so foreign. That’s exactly why we put together our weekly pre trip emails and videos. We want to break down those initial cultural anxieties, fully prepare you, and give you the exact tools to blend in smoothly with the locals so you can be the invisible tourist. Mutual respect is everything in Japan, and seeing that local connection pay off for you means we did what we set out to do. We love that Japan won you over, and we can’t wait to welcome you and your husband back when you return! — Shawn and Becki

Amazing trip with Japan and More!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our recent small group tour organized by Japan and More (Becki and Shawn). From start to finish, this trip was absolutely amazing and we feel incredibly lucky to have had this experience. Becki and Shawn curated the perfect itinerary. The tour was focused on immersing us in local Japanese culture, offering unique, authentic experiences that we never could have found or organized on our own. Becki and Shawn seamlessly organized everything. Traveling in a small group felt relaxed and incredibly well-managed, allowing us to just focus on taking in every single moment. If you get the chance to travel with Japan and More take it! They are phenomenal hosts who deliver a world-class travel experience. Thank you both for a trip we will never forget!

Jill S, thank you so much for the phenomenal review! We feel incredibly lucky to have hosted you, and we’re thrilled that you had such an unforgettable experience with us.
As you know, we purposely keep our small group sizes strictly capped at 8 guests because it is the only way to deliver that intimate, relaxed, and seamless vibe you described. This allows us to have authentic Japanese experiences and navigate unique local areas that are simply impossible to pull off with a massive tour group. Our management of the behind-the-scenes logistics ensures you can completely drop your guard and just focus on taking in every single moment.
Thank you once more for joining us in Japan, and we hope to travel with you again soon! — Shawn and Becki

Wonderful people sharing their unmatched passion and experiences of Japan
My wife and I visited Japan with Becki and Shawn in the Fall of 2023 and had such a wonderful experience that when we decided it was time to come back, we instantly thought of them. They are both very down to earth and welcoming people and it was as though no time had passed at all between the end of our last visit and this new trip. Even as return visitors we found tremendous value in their experience, passion for the culture, and the attention to detail they provide. Not having to worry about the logistics of Japan’s various train systems, navigating complex train stations, or even dealing with hotel reservations yourself allows you to relax and fully engage with the experiences you have. We can’t recommend them enough and hope you give them the chance to win you over as they have with us.

John H., it was so wonderful welcoming you and K. back to Japan! Having you travel with us again is the greatest compliment, and it really did feel like no time had passed at all. We loved showing you entirely new sides of Japan and Japanese culture.
Navigating the complex train stations and handling all the logistics is just what we do. We take pride in managing every single detail behind the scenes so that even experienced, returning visitors like you can completely relax and fully engage with the journey.
Thank you so much for your continued trust in us, and we look forward to trip number three! — Shawn and Becki

Best trip to Japan
It is the best experience I ever had. Alisa coordinated everything extremely well. The guide KENTO, was the best guide I have ever had. He was very knowledgeable, perfect English and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable.. he made the tour unforgettable!
事業者からの返答
Hello Hilda,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a fantastic review! It sounds like you had a truly unforgettable trip to Japan.
However, it appears there may have been a slight mix-up, as Japan and More did not host this specific small group tour.
While we would have loved to have been part of your trip, we want to make sure Kento, Alisa, and their team receive the recognition they deserve for their hard work!
We recommend posting this wonderful feedback on the correct company’s page so they can celebrate this win with their staff.

Authentic Japanese tour with awesome tour guides.
This tour was above and beyond my expectations! From beginning to end, Shawn and Becki were the most excellent tour guides. It was impressive how well they navigated the vast rail system. They were very knowledgeable about every site we saw and the food they chose for us. It was fun to try so many different types of authenticate food. The hotels they chose were very comfortable. We packed so much into our 10 day tour and I am leaving with a great appreciation for the Japanese culture. I would highly recommend Japan and More if you want to truly experience Japan.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Mary W. It’s great to hear that our tour went above and beyond your expectations. That makes us super happy!
Navigating Japan's vast, intricate rail system can certainly be overwhelming, so we love taking that stress completely off your shoulders. We also take immense pride in our hotel selections and maintain exceptionally strict standards, choosing only quality Japanese hotels that meet our high benchmarks for comfort and cleanliness.
It's exciting to learn that we helped you develop a deep appreciation for Japanese culture. Thank you so much for recommending Japan and More, and we truly hope to host you again in the future! — Shawn and Becki

Thank you petercline for your wonderful review!
We’re truly grateful that you had such a superb, first-class experience with us.
Managing the logistics of Japan’s trains while coordinating the hands-free luggage forwarding is exactly what we do so you can have a stress-free experience. Our ultimate goal is to remove all that heavy lifting so you can just relax and enjoy an authentic, unforgettable trip of a lifetime. It was a pleasure hosting you and “L” on this adventure. Thank you for choosing Japan and More, and we truly hope to travel with you again soon. — Shawn and Becki

Truly see Japan not just the touristy highlights
We are leaving today after ten days of traveling and experiencing Japan at such a meaningful level that went far beyond sightseeing! Shawn and Becki’s kind attentiveness to not just each of us but also to every detail alleviated any stress and created a once in a lifetime trip. We would highly recommend getting on the waiting list!!!
事業者からの返答
Linda C, thank you so much for this outstanding review! We are incredibly happy that we could provide a deep, meaningful experience that went far beyond basic sightseeing. Alleviating travel stress and handling every minor detail is exactly what we do so you can just focus on enjoying your once-in-a-lifetime trip.
You made an excellent point about our waiting list! Because we focus heavily on small group sizes and authentic Japanese experiences, our seasonal spring and fall tours sell out very fast. Having your public recommendation to book early is valuable advice for future travelers. Thank you again for joining us, and we can’t wait to see you in Japan again in the near future. — Shawn and Becki

Highlights of Japan is amazing!
The Japan and More Highlights of Japan was an amazing tour, so glad we went. We experienced things we wouldn’t have been able to do on our own. It is like being brought through Japan with your Expat friends, while also meeting a great group of people. Becki and Shawn are great and made the experience informative, easy and fun.

Heidi K, thank you so much for the great review! It’s great to hear that you had such an amazing time with us on our Highlights of Japan tour.
Hearing that traveling with us felt like exploring with expat friends is the ultimate compliment. Our main goal is to bridge the gap between Western and Japanese cultures, making this beautiful country feel completely accessible, informative, and fun. We also love that everyone in the group connected so well. Thank you for trusting us to guide you through Japan, and we truly hope to meet up for another incredible journey together in the future! — Shawn and Becki

Best trip ever!
We highly recomend the Highlights of Japan tour with Becki and Shawn. It was so much more than just a sightseeing trip and perfect for travelers who want a meaningful and authentic experience. The trip included several cultural activities and hands on experiences which made the journey even more memorable. We never could have achieved all this on our own and will be forever grateful for Becki and Shawn's guidance.
