William R., London, United Kingdom

Thank you so much for arranging a fantastic trip. We had a brilliant time and packed a huge amount into the 5 days. It was a truly memorable experience, and I cannot imagine a better way of celebrating a special birthday. She was thrilled. 

The ryokan was wonderful – beautiful, refined, and elegant, with exceptional food and service. The private rotenburos were great, and the communal facilities and onsen were very elegant. The organization and staffing were first class, discrete and subtly done, and yet with a lightness and personality that made the experience warm and friendly. The grounds were stunning, and the bar beside the pond was tranquil and relaxing.

Your chosen guide, Su, was really excellent and was both a pleasure to be with and a great enhancement to the trip/experience. 

What an amazing day with Robert – this was a real highlight. The three potters were well chosen, and the experiences were different and all magical. Robert was great company and a passionate and hugely knowledgeable guide; it was infectious. Thank you for arranging this.

Onsen hopping was a blast. There are some amazing places in Kurokawa Onsen, and the rotenburo in Yamamizuki is right next to the river and was spectacular/unforgettable.

Onta was a magical pottery village with heart and soul. There was a very accessible museum, and the village was fascinating. Well worth the detour. 

Thank you again.
