Thank you for travelling with Luxury Gold and for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the luggage requirements. While we understand you were provided with the guidelines in advance, these are included in the final travel documents issued to all guests. Regrettably, while we communicate these requirements clearly, we are unable to enforce adherence across all guests. We do appreciate that you followed the guidance provided and understand how frustrating it must have felt to see inconsistencies.
We are also sorry to learn of your disappointment regarding the itinerary changes, particularly the removal of the stay at Oirase Gorge and the Hoshino Resorts Oirase Keiryu Hotel. We understand how important these inclusions were in your decision to book, and we regret that this change and its communication did not meet expectations. Your feedback will be shared with our team for review.
Thank you again for choosing to travel with us. Your comments are valued and help us improve our processes and guest experience.

Thank you very much for travelling with us and for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that certain aspects of the itinerary planning and dining arrangements did not meet your expectations. We understand how important it is to be able to plan personal time in advance, including making dinner reservations and arranging outside activities. On guided tours, daily schedules can sometimes only be confirmed closer to the time due to operational factors, local conditions, and timing adjustments needed to ensure the smooth running of the itinerary.
We also note your comments regarding the included meals. We appreciate that having limited or no choice can feel restrictive, and your feedback has been shared with our product teams as part of our ongoing review of meal arrangements across itineraries.
Thank you again for your honest comments. We value your feedback as it helps us continue to refine the guest experience.

We are very sorry to hear that several aspects of your journey did not meet your expectations. We understand your disappointment regarding the hotel standards and your view that they did not reflect the Luxury Gold positioning. We also regret that the hosted dinners were not to your satisfaction and did not provide the experience you were expecting.
We note your comments regarding additional day tours not included in the package price. We appreciate that clarity around inclusions is important when selecting a premium journey, and your feedback on this has been shared with our teams for review.

We are pleased to hear that your Luxury Gold journey was smooth, well-coordinated and filled with wonderful and unique experiences. It is especially pleasing to know that the Travel Concierge made such a meaningful impact through her authenticity, knowledge and attentive care, and that the cultural and dining experiences were such highlights for you.
At the same time, we are sorry to learn that some of the hotel accommodations, particularly in Sendai and Tokyo, did not meet your expectations and differed from your prior independent stay. We appreciate how important consistency and comfort are, and your comments will be shared with our team for review.
We are grateful for your kind recommendation and are thrilled that this was considered one of your best holidays.
