Hokkaido Sparkling Snow Tour 2024

Lake Mashu, Hokkaido, winter snow group tour
A fine winter’s day at Lake Mashu observatory, eastern Hokkaido

“We all had a great time on the Sparkling Snow Tour. We definitely had a great group and our guide was so amazing! We all had a great, memorable trip and the size of the group was perfect. I would definitely use H.I.S. again and would recommend H.I.S. to friends/family.”

-Rae O.


“We had a great time on the tour.  Our escort from HIS & our Japanese local guide were both awesome.”

-Darren H.


“I enjoyed the “off-beaten path” of certain places where we dined…thank you for putting together this tour. I enjoyed our tour guide; she was one of the best guides I’ve ever had with group travel.”

-Jane N.


Hokkaido Lavender Tour 2024

And they’re off! The group gets ready to paddle the rivers of Hokkaido

“We had the most Awesome time at the Lavender /Melon/Lake tour. It was well planned, hotel venues were top notch, restaurants picked were just terrific(although I forgot what hungry felt like…so much eating!) the events and places picked to visit were just wonderful, with the presenters at each location very informative, gracious and welcoming. As you can tell, I had a wonderful time!”

-Leilyn K.


“The food was amazing.  Whoever you guys have picking restaurants, well done.  Definitely a foodie tour.  A wide range of fun meals, and the looks on some of the locals’ faces when out bus unloaded, we were definitely off the main track. 

I don’t do many group tours, but I enjoyed this so much.  I knew what to expect, things were explained well, the guides were there to help all along the way.  For being dropped down in a foreign country with absolute minimum of language ability, they were wonderful.”

-Andrea M.


Ultimate Japan: Hokkaido + Aomori Sakura Tour 2024

The group sporting their hand-picked traditional kimono!

“Everything went well on this tour. Not too rushed and enough time to shop. Pace was good; not too early to rise.

Food was spectacular, plentiful and so fresh! We made wonderful memories and met many new friends. Scott, Mayumi, Skyler, Shawn & Isaiah were great hosts/videographers. Our local tour guide, Yoshi Okada, was entertaining and informative.”

-Cheryl K.


“Thank you for a wonderful tour. And for taking such good care of us old folks. This was our first package tour and it was first class all the way! We’ll be back for more.”

Tohoku Spectacular Sakura Tour 2024

The group enjoys a river ride in beautiful Geibikei Gorge

“I really appreciated the tour. We got to experience Japanese culture that I otherwise would never enjoy. It definitely put me out of my comfort zone, and I am glad that we all got to experience it. I am so glad I went on the Tohoku Sakura tour with all of you. It’s definitely an experience I will treasure for my lifetime.”

-Anonymous


“In particular, we enjoyed the Suehiro Katsukare because of the small restaurant atmosphere and the kindness and appreciation shown by the staff. The food at the deluxe crab dinner was excellent. The Sansai experience was very special due to the care and selection of ingredients.”

-Anonymous

Shikoku Pilgrimage Tour 2024

The group shows off their okashi (sweets) from Kamata Honbo Dekitate Okashi-kan!

“We enjoyed everything, from the hotels, to the onsens, the wealth of knowledge on culture, the meals, [the guide], [the HIS escort] and everything in between. The experience; especially sleeping at the temple. That was so pure and cleansing. The people, ah yes; the people I made some good and new friends. I am forever grateful.”

-Michelle B.


“Great visits to parts of Japan largely away from the congested main tourist attractions. Had beautiful and varied picture taking vistas of nature as well as temples and shrines.”

Japan Art & Culture Tour 2024

-Nancy I.


“I enjoyed the hotels, especially the Sado Island resort. We usually go by ourselves to Japan but taking the tour made me realize that we would have never gone to the places this tour took us, so thank you for that.”
