Tour was very diversified and covered so many interesting sights from the bowing deer to the bamboo forest. The sunrise over Ise Bay is unforgettable as was the drive up to Koya mountain.

Too much walking in hot weather. After awhile all temples and shrines look alike. The 2 ANA hotels had non ice machines, no vending machines, nothing in refrigerators.Ronald Padget
