"We were short of time to prepare the trip to Japan. Besides we were afraid to miss something interesting if we planned it ourselves. How would you know where to book the best Ryokans. Or which Japan Rail Pass to take! With Way Away's Smart Route we had it all set up in no time and it was amazing. Next one, China!"
