  • "I had always wanted to travel to Japan to take pictures of the Cherry Blossoms. Searching through travel agency websites my results yielded itineraries that felt sterile and lack the photography needs for what I was looking for. Luckily my search led to Akashi Travel, their 'Tohoku Cherry Blossom & Hot Springs' itinerary sounded amazing and it WAS beyond amazing. Tina & Toru had created a perfect itinerary that not only took me on the "off beaten path" of Japan but also provided me the opportunity to capture the photos that I was seeking. They led me to many towns and locations that I would have never found on my own had I travelled alone to Japan, and their expertise in photography helped me sharpen my own skills. Afterwards, they created an itinerary for my solo travel to Kyoto and Tokyo. I am planning to join Akashi Travel again in my next visit to Japan. Highly recommend them."

  • "I traveled with Akashi Travel Tohoku Photo Tour on the Cherry Blossom & Hot Spring tour 2018. And I have to say I feel like I had won the lottery with this trip. The trip exceeded my expectations on every level. It was my first trip to Japan and the itinerary was so interesting with great opportunities to take beautiful pictures and learn about the culture and history too. the hotels where high class and beautifully situated and were a great addition to the already amazing tour. Another great part of the tour was the traditional Japanese food and the chance to get acquitted with the culture through the local cuisine. Every day was a new experience and I enjoyed every minute of it. A big part of the success of the trip were our guides Tina and Toru who were so welcoming professional and I feel I made friends for life!"

  • I had a wonderful photo tour to Japan, "Tohoku Cherry Blossom and Hot Springs"last April!! Our tour leaders, Tina and Toru kept very good humor throughout the tour in spite of the accumulated fatigue over the nine days. It was also very interesting to break the Western stereotype images of Japanese culture, thanks to the explanations of Toru. Tina and Toru made everything really easy for us. I wish I can travel with them again!

  • We signed up for the photo tour, Tohoku Cherry Blossom & Hot Springs 2018 to photograph the cherry blossom. The trip was very interesting, specially for the way it was designed: visiting various locations, discovering rural and unknown Japan, and enjoying good meals and traditional accomodations! Although I brought only my smartphone to take pictures, I could enjoy a lot and make many wonderful pictures!! We will repeat to travel to Japan with Akashi Travel in the future for sure!

  • "The first half of April , I traveled to Japan to visit Kyoto, Shikoku and the islands of Setouchi. One of the main attractions that motivated me to do this trip was to see the Cherry Blossoms and it really was one of the most beautiful and exciting things that I have ever experienced. Visiting the Islands of the Inland Sea of ​​Japan as well as its temples is a pilgrimage that must be done. But when you do it, you must do it with an organization such as AKASHI TRAVEL. They know perfectly Japan and its traditions since one of the tour leaders, Toru, is Japanese. Toru and the other tour leader, Tina, are experts in organizing dream trips. Toru and Tina are very careful and always look for the enjoyment and well-being of the client. I RECOMMEND IT TO YOU VERY MUCH!"

  • "Having already been to Japan before, we were looking for a different way to get to know better this country of contrasts, out of beaten track. We opted for Kyoto-Tohoku: Autumn Leaves and Hot Springs, expanded to visit of Nikko and Mt. Fuji area. The tailor-made tour offered by Tina and Toru was more than our expectations. They led us to meet charming and even magical places in the fall to see the best beauty of the season. They brought us to the places where we could have hardly visited; a varied route in all concepts with relaxing hot springs and pleasantly surprising gastronomy. It has been a great experience for us who like to capture those moments with our cameras. Tina and Toru offered us their advice and very good companionship through the tour. Highly recommended!"
