I first reached out to Himanthi when I had trouble booking accommodations for my larger family for our Japan trip. She was able to do that and more! Our itinerary became more complicated as we added things we wanted to do for our trip. With lots of emails back and forth, she was able to get us the perfect trip, the first to Japan for my kids. The room that she was able to secure for us in Tokyo was amazing. It was spacious, with a mix of traditional and modern. Every hotel was perfect, with breakfast included which was super helpful. Everything was planned so seamlessly, so that I didn't have to worry about anything. The itinerary she sent us was very helpful in navigating all the transportation to our activities. I was able to contact Himanthi, or a local agent in Tokyo when I had last minute concerns or questions and they were very quick to respond.I lived in Japan and had originally planned on just booking a hotel on my own. I am so happy I went with Himanthi and the travel agency. We were able to experience so much more than we would have on our own, and we felt like we were treated like VIPs! What a super special and memorable trip for our family.

This was an excellent company to work with. We would recommend to all.  However I want to preface this review by stating that this trip was planned back in Jan. of 2020, prior to the Chinese virus disaster, and that this trip was postponed in March 2020 for 3 consecutive years. Our original travel planner left the company, and a new one was installed to carry on this trip to completion, (she did a great job).  The goal of our trip was based on cultural aspects and the people of the countries visited.  Despite setbacks, all and all this was a good trip.   Of course, there were several instances beyond everyone’s control that caused this trip to be less than stellar.  Weather (pollution). We didn't see the sun for 30+ days, and changes due to the Chinese virus. The explanation of events and itinerary were far more glorious than received.  Not bad, but different.  But all in all it was a great trip nonetheless. Yes we would recommend to all.

In late 2019 we booked a trip to Japan through our travel agency that was to happen in Spring 2020. Then Covid appeared and the world shut down. During the delay, the company was clear and timely in communication as we tried to reschedule our trip a few times, hoping Japan would allow tourists again. After 3 years Japan finally reopened and we were able to complete our vacation in April, 2023.The wait was worth it. From beginning to end of our 15 day visit, we were guided and assisted by friendly, knowledgeable guides and drivers; we had excellent communication with in-country representatives; we had outstanding accommodations; we saw the big tourist attractions and a few "special" tours where it was just us, our guide and local residents. All in all an amazing experience that we could never have planned by ourselves.Thanks to Charlotte and the team at the travel company and to our wonderful guides in Japan. This was a vacation we will never forget.

We did this trip for our honeymoon, and our experience with the travel agency was amazing, they were on top of things at all times, they were very attentive to the details, and resolved all the doubts we had prior to our arrival and during our trip. This trip was an unforgettable experience, we enjoyed so much traveling to the cities recommended since we got to know better the culture with the guides assigned and enjoyed local experiences. The trip was perfectly planned, and all their staff did an outstanding job in taking care of every single detail of our trip, facilitating/solving any situation and language barrier. We felt very comfortable with the itinerary and grateful that we were able to see so many things in a short time. We definitely cherish this experience and went back home with grateful hearts for all these memorable experiences.

A memorable trip to the beautiful Land of the Rising Sun by this travel agency.Jeff and his team in Japan crafted an awesome luxury itinerary for us on our two week trip to Japan. The whole experience was wonderful. The planning process was very smooth, tailored to our needs, efficient and easy. We had wonderful guides in Japan who made us feel very comfortable, helped us immensely with our trip, and to soak in the best experiences in Japan in a short time. I compared various travel outfits to Japan and this travel agency offered us the best and most cost effective luxury itinerary which made me choose them. The hotel and Ryokan selections were good. In essence we had a memorable trip to Japan that makes us want to go back there again.

Carl and his team at the travel agency spent considerable time listening to our interests and assembled an itinerary that exceeded our expectations.  We had not been to Japan, and we had requested a mixture of visiting the most important sites along with some interesting and authentic experiences.  We even had some special requests for food and shopping, and again, they delivered.  I highly recommend this travel agency for anyone wanting assistance traveling to Japan.

When we decided to go to see cherry blossom in Japan, we thought of guided tours for two weeks.  We did a search online, Zicasso came on top with their luxury guided Japan tour.  After sending out an email, they immediately recommend two agencies and one of them is the one we chose.  Charlotte reached out in the same day but her email went into my trash directly.  It was found three days later in a weekend.  Once Charlotte received my email response, she texted me and called right after to get our desired details for these tours and dates.  She promised to get a proposal to us in next Monday and provided the proposal on time.  It came out almost matching everything we expected. We suggested some minor changes and she accommodated right next day with updated version.  It made our decision so easy to go with this agency.  Toward the start of the trip, our son wanted to meet us in Japan with his fiancé after he proposes to her in Japan and Charlotte made all necessary changes and arranged a fancy lunch meeting at Kyoto train station with set Japanese food in a private dining room.  We spent two weeks in Japan and visited so many places from Kyoto, to Nara, Kanazawa, Shirakawa, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, and Tokyo.  The whole trip was accompanies with English speaking Japanese local guides. All the transportations, sites seeing, cherry blossom, history, culture, tea ceremony, cruises, private transportation, hotels, rope lifts, high speed trains, local express trains, and long distance buses, subways, not mentioning the local food, we have touched so many different ways of life in Japan without thinking of it every day.  They made everything so easy for us and so worry free.  We have enjoyed every single moment with all arrangement and guides.  It made this vacation one of the bests in our life and we got so many great memories including our son's successful proposing.  Thank you Charlotte and the team for your kind help and very nicely guided tours.

An epic Japan trip that was 3+ years in the making. We started working with Scott and team in late 2019 for my wife's dream trip to Japan. Then COVID shut everything down. Scott stayed in regular contact as the years rolled by. Finally, we were able to take the trip this spring. Thanks to the work of Scott and team this has become one of our top trips. From the time we landed in Japan, until we left, Scott and team made sure our trip was memorable. Scott & Nao also took the time to personally show us various Kyoto sites as well as Ine and the incredible Japanese countryside. This went above and beyond. The itinerary included the beautiful sights and sounds of Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Hiroshima, Ine, & Kyoto. We would recommend Scott and team to anyone who wants an exceptional Japan tour.

Our trip to Japan with this travel agency was amazing! I have never worked with a travel company that was so consistently attentive and communicative. Himanthi, our agent, was the best I’ve ever worked with! Her recommendations and organization were top notch. We stayed in some of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. I highly recommend this agency! We hope to use them again in the future.

I highly recommend Jeff and the travel agency.  Jeff created a self-guided tour for us 4/2023.  We discussed our desires (we are not fans of local tourist areas) and with Jeff's help created the Japan trip of a lifetime.  At the time of our initial discussion Japan was just exploring post-Covid reopening. Jeff worked with us to make sure we would have the correct paperwork to enter the country if it did not open by the time of our trip.  We actively worked and reworked our itinerary until it was perfect. The agency provided us with accommodations, specific transportation with time schedules and directions, and a user friendly guide.  All in all our trip was everything we had hoped for and more.

This travel agency is yet another testimony as to why we keep coming back to Zicasso for our travel needs. Working with Charlotte was easy. She had a little more challenge with us as we were meeting up with our son and daughter-in-law who live in Japan presently. We met our kids in Hiroshima and had two great days of touring the city and Miyajima Island with them. My daughter-in-law commented how nice it was to have a guide getting us everywhere, knowing which trains/buses/etc. to take and her not trying to figure it out as they went :). We continued on to Osaka, Kyoto, and finally Tokyo. We had fun riding the Shinkansen bullet train twice and many other forms of transportation. We were always greeted by our guides and navigated to our hotels to leave luggage before continuing on to tour the city we were in. We unfortunately only had 9 days in Japan- but we definitely made the most of those days. Our guides ensured we truly got the flavor (literally and figuratively) of Japan. Each hotel was lovely with great views of the city we were visiting. Thank you to the team for making our trip seamless and one for us to remember.

Alex and the travel agency were an absolute pleasure to work with! Extremely responsive both in terms of responding quickly, but (perhaps more importantly) being flexible and customizing trip to our unique requests. For our trip we had 4 adults in our 30s traveling for 2 weeks. The hotels we stayed in throughout the trip were all very nice. We requested a busy trip to see as much as we can, and that was absolutely delivered. 

We've traveled fairly broadly and would definitely put Japan at the top of the list to return to. Nicest people we've ever experienced!The history and beauty of Japan cannot be oversold. My only regret is not having more time to enjoy a longer trip!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to our travel company!

Our family recently had the amazing opportunity to visit Japan with an itinerary created, organized and implemented by this travel agency. Based upon our trip, we think our travel company is the BEST and MOST REWARDING way to experience Japan!

Carl was masterful at fashioning a unique and personalized itinerary tailored to our interests. There were six of us: 2 in their 20s, 2 in their 30s and 2 in their 70s. Despite the wide age range, we ALL came away thrilled with our experience:  the hotels, from Japan-style boutique hotels to beautiful ryokans; the food, ranging from Michelin high-end restaurants to street food; and most of all the experiences: site-seeing in Tokyo, Kyoto, Mt. Fuji and Fukushima; visiting master artisans in the crafts of bamboo arts, knife-making, and lantern-making; visiting unique museums; attending mountain-top Buddhist services at the break of dawn, and so much more!    

The guides Carl arranged to accompany us were fantastic, very knowledgeable and charming. And Carl was highly accommodating, especially dealing with last-minute requests and itinerary changes on our part. 

All in all, a fantastic trip filled with high points as awesome as visiting Mt. Fuji on a clear blue sky day (which we did) and memories to last a lifetime!
