Thank you for all of the tour participants, and we are looking forward to seeing you again on our tour soon!!・Customer A (England)"I had a brilliant time touring with Smekk Stars Japan Travel to the rare, wonderful laurel forests of Aya Biosphere Reserve in Southern Kyushu, where some of Japan's most ancient forests can be found.I initially enquired with them about whether a visit to the Reserve in Aya would be possible as I have an interest in natural parks. Kumiko and her team were so kind and incredible in responding to my idea so quickly and diligently, and they put together a detailed and thoughtful itinerary that was beyond my expectations, sourcing and making the needed contacts in Aya to make the tour happen and put the plan together. The team's communication and consultation with me and also with the contacts in Aya was nothing short of excellent.For the Tour we visited Kawanaka and the UNESCO Eco Parks and the Aya Teruha Suspension Bridge and scenic viewpoints, and also the Shochu Brewery and organic market in Aya Town itself. The Tour was so well executed and organised, with a local guide who was an ecological expert in Aya with a real passion and understanding of the region whom I could ask many questions! The forests were even more special and beautiful than I imagined, this is a very natural part of Japan, with a special shrine in the forest and incredible views from the Suspension Bridge. Kumiko was lovely and kind company on the day and worked hard to make sure everything went to plan!I have such gratitude and can't thank the team enough for making the visit to Aya happen, as it was not a usual tour destination in a remote part of Kyushu, and Smekk Stars Japan Travel were able to make my wishes a reality! :)"・Customer B (Singapore)Exceeded our expectations!
