Watching Sumo training2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Comfortable shoes because we walked a lot and luggage you can manage yourself because there are lots of stairs at stations3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
No. Japan is very clean but they are using sooo much plastic4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent value for moneyRead the operator's response here:
Thank you, Janice, for your review of your time in Japan. I’m delighted that you have had such a great time on the tour. I know that you were really looking forward to watching the Sumo training and I’m pleased that this lived up to expectations and became a highlight of your trip.
Your comment about the use of plastic in Japan is a really important one and one that I wanted to follow up on. I’ve spoken with our partners in Japan and they have told me that they advise participants to refill their water bottles and only to buy plastic bags in shops when absolutely necessary. We will work with them to see if there is more we can do on the ground in Japan.
Single use plastic is a major problem that needs to be addressed around the globe. We are trying to play our part by reducing the amount of single use plastic that people use on our projects. In our pre-departure briefing documents we give advice on how to avoid using plastic. We also offer people the opportunity to purchase one of our reusable Chilly’s bottles to help reduce the amount of single-use plastic we use.

You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
