What makes building a dream itinerary such a challenge?
You started with a simple idea - a dream of seeing all the incredible sights Japan has to offer. To experience that trip of a lifetime.
But then you started researching that idea.
And slowly, day by day, week by week, what you thought would be a fun and exciting exercise actually turned into a frustrating chore. One that turned up more questions than answers the more time you spent on it.
How the heck did that happen!?

Insanely effective
Before using The Real Japan I spent hours upon hours scouring the web trying to decide what I wanted to do with my time in Japan. There were so many options that I was locked in a state of decision paralysis.
Rob helped me narrow down my goals and he put together a comprehensive guide to accomplish everything that I wanted to in Japan as well as providing advice and resources on how to go about my trip.
Without Rob Dyer and The Real Japan I am sure that my trip would've been a jumbled unfocused mess, but because of the insanely effective help of Rob, I am certain that this will be the best trip of my life.

Excellent advice and guidance
I needed advice regarding travelling around Japan and the various options available over my self planned 3 1/2 week trip.
Rob gave me excellent advice and guidance around the best ways to use my JR pass, suica card and costs for additional day trips I want to do.
I feel much more organised and confident about my upcoming trip.
I also used the Facebook Group for advice of things to do whilst in Fukuoka which was great!
