Trip was well organised and contiki was really good at placing us in hotels near train stations. However, the "winter wonder" part of the trip wasnt worth the money. Organise your own part ski holiday as it will be more cost effective and more fun. For the 4 day ski you only get 2 actual days of skiing because the other two days are travel days !

This truly is the Winter Wonder that has it all. The tour is the perfect blend of culture and Japanese quirkiness. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for the adventure of a lifetime in Japan.
