Funny thing is, I wasn't even planning Japan this year. Flight alerts kept popping up, so I started checking anyway. Then visa processing times became another thing to figure out before making any decisions. I compared everything against separate hotel bookings and honestly expected package costs to be much higher. Reading through Explore Japan Tours changed that assumption a bit. The itinerary around Hiroshima stood out because it didn't feel rushed. Saved this mostly because I'd forget those details otherwise, and I'm still thinking about it.
