We are doing a celebrity cruise in Japan and korea. From the research that I have done (as well as others in our room call), you've been given some inaccurate information. We are doing Different ports, I suspect, but here is what we have learned:
- Lots of japanese speak english. Many WANT to practice their English. In Tokyo, you'll even find people walking around with signs offering to help.
- Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. You really have no worries about safety anymore than you would anyplace else. Probably less!
- Japan's public transportation system is widely held as the most efficient in the world. And it's cheap. Use it.
- Some cities have VOLUNTEER GUIDES. No cost except their travel expenses and any admission or lunch expenses. Wonderful opportunity to spend time and learn from locals. This is probably what I'm looking forward to the most.
- We have found less expensive tours offered by Tours By Locals and Triple Lights.

We are on the Celebrity Cruise in October - maybe the same you are on. Have you booked any private tours where you are looking for other couples to fill out the tour? We are traveling with two other couples. Please email me at lbpfla1@yahoo.com
Thanks for your help.
