Having lived in Japan, we were looking forward to revisiting special places and memories. We had a few trepidations as tour companies many times overlook the specialness of local places and customs. Grasshopper’s River, Valleys & Heritage tour was beyond our highest expectations. The route, the accommodations, the meals and cultural insights were fantastic. The “X” factor was the Grasshopper team, both the pre-ride and tour guide team. Their local knowledge of Japan, cultural sensitivities, their constant availability, and their conscientious focus on their customers was 5+ stars. We’ll be back!!
