Splendors of Japan with Hiroshima
When I started traveling again in 2009, Japan was at the top of my list, so I was delighted when Trafalgar introduced this tour in 2013. I had a choice between the 10 day tour which ends in Kyoto or the 14 day one that includes a night in a monastery as well as a visit to Hiroshima via the bullet train.
I have to admit that I was at a loss as to why one would go all the way to Japan and not visit Hiroshima but I suspect a lot of Americans feel uncomfortable doing so. As my tale will explain, this is not a concern. Quite the opposite. If one has the time and budget to include Hiroshima, do it!
I wrote the tale as I traveled so that I could include as many details as possible and for this reason, the tale is a comprehensive review of the tour.
