@chobiull18 - Thank you! I think you would love it and wouldn't be disappointed :)

@silverfox40 - Agree - I feel like you don't get to truly experience the culture if you try to squish a bunch of countries all into a few weeks though you'll definitely hit some big items off your list!

@silverfox40 - agreed!!!

@monique241 - We live in Canada so for us it cost about 8.5K - 9K for both of us. This included; the hotels, the Japan Rail pass, the varying tours and Disney pass tickets. We had booked through a travel agent just to ensure that the hotels and tours were through reputable companies and good locations. Most of our hotels were a block or two from a train station so there is definitely room to find more affordable hotels not as close to train stations. Hope that helps!

@claribo - that sounds incredible! We would love to go to Seattle and Portland once this pandemic ends! We definitely rented a car since we flew into Victoria. If you are planning on leaving the island, we would recommend closing your rental on the island and then taking the ferry and then re-renting a new vehicle. There are a couple of reasons we would recommend this. The first is that when you plan to take the rental off the island, the rental car company charge a significant increase in price. The second is that the ticket to take a car onto the ferry can be a pretty expensive cost in itself compared to just being a person ticket. If you are planning a camper van, there are some pretty amazing hiking you can get into. We didn't go far into the woods but my brother was able to see some incredible huge trees that you can't see just from the road. We did do a couple of hikes closer to Coombs which wouldn't need a camper van for. Hope that helps!

@stephwood - Thanks so much! We truly had a trip of a lifetime and hit everything we wanted to do! We were considering renting a car but some of the toll prices were just as much as to fill up your car (our tour guide was saying 100 E at the time). We would recommend to make sure to take that into consideration for your budget!

@rubyflynn92 - I think we had a good amount of time for our first time round. I think we could've used an extra few days to really get to check out Kyoto and Itsukushima as we got to see the basics but definitely could do a bunch more! One thing we didn't realize is that we hit Disney Sea over the Graduation Week so a bunch of kids were going there to celebrate. It was crazy busy comparative to the other parks. However, Disney Sea has some rides and attractions that can only be found there (including food) so it was worth going to experience that. Just make sure that you get fast passes as much as possible to enjoy your experience!

@rubyflynn92 - Yes!! The food was soooo good :) I think Switzerland is one of those hidden treasures! You wouldn't be disappointed if you chose to bump it up your list :)
