2008 Sister Cities Tour - Springtime in Japan

Sister Cities New Zealand Inc. conducted a unique tour of Japan in March/April 2008.  Arranged in conjunction with our membership, the tour programme provided wonderful opportunities to interact with our partner communities in Japan and enjoy some special sister city hospitality, as well as visiting places of cultural, historic and scenic significance.  Testimonials from participants include:

"It was a wonderful tour, I really enjoyed it.  Well organised but not too structured".  Olive, Taupo

 "A lovely trip to Japan, we so enjoyed our travels. We commend the tour leaders for their efforts", Barbara and Jim, Whitianga

 "The experience was very different from a normal tour, especially the welcomes from local business community and friendship societies - a valuable experience".  Robson and Mandy, Auckland.

 "We had a fantastic time, thanks.  I would say it was the best holiday I've had in my life".  Sandie and Michael, Auckland.

 'A wonderful and very enjoyable tour which we found most interesting and amazing".  Ron and Adrienne, Christchurch.
