1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The two highlights were: Naoshima and Yakushima - art on Noashima and a stunningly beautiful forest with ancient ceders on Yakushima2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
The Japanese tourguide was absolutely lousy, she had no enthusiam or passion for her job. She had a very minimalistic approach to her work, only did what she absolutely had to do, so we had to do quite a lot of things on our own.Read the operator's response here:
