We had a truly wonderful time in Japan. Lots of people have asked what was the highlight and it really is hard to pick one, or even a few. We really enjoyed the Tsukiji market, the visit to Yanaka, the Kiyosumi Garden, all the gardens in Kyoto, the evening in Osaka, the lunch with the… Read More

Boutique Japan has made our trip to Japan brilliant and totally unforgettable. I have been to Japan many times, even studied there for some time. The experience from this trip is still right at the top of my list, in terms of accommodation, arrangement (everyone's happy!), and food (two thumbs up!!). Thank you very much… Read More

Boutique Japan did an excellent job of orchestrating our two-week trip. Their intake process for new clients is thorough and thoughtful. Once on the trip it was clear that our itinerary was customized to meet our interests. When a typhoon derailed our original itinerary, Boutique Japan was quick to suggest and help book an alternative.… Read More

They really listened when my husband and I described the… Read More

My wife and I just got back from our Boutique Japan trip, and it was fantastic. Andres has excellent attention to detail, and the information they put together was tremendously helpful along the way. Some say Americans will never feel as foreign anywhere in the world as they do when they're in Japan, but all… Read More

We worked with Boutique Japan for a 12-day whirlwind trip to Japan in November for my husband and myself. I am actually someone who loves to research and plan trips, but knew I didn't have the time to do it as thoroughly as this once-in-a-lifetime warranted. They helped us create an incredible trip that revolved… Read More

We recently returned from our 3 week long trip around Honshu, expertly planned by Boutique Japan. Since this was our first visit to the country, and we really wanted to experience Japanese culture, I started looking for a specialist … More to help me plan it.
After contacting Boutique Japan, before a single dollar was paid, they were already providing tremendous value in the early planning stages. Once we formally engaged with them, they went to work putting together an experience that was tailored to what we wanted, and provided lots of ideas for things we didn't even realize we wanted until they mentioned it.
During our trip, everything was laid out in detail in a web app that contained contact info, hotel addresses in Japanese and English, instructions for where to meet guides, their names, and the itinerary for each day. This took all the stress out of our visit, and allowed us to just roll with the daily activities. Our guides were all friendly and conversational, knowledgeable and had good command of the English language.
On the couple of occasions we needed something while we were there, the team was very responsive.
We had a magical time in Japan, and learned so much about the culture. We even made some friends along the way. We can't wait to plan our next visit!
For a well executed and special trip to Japan, I wholeheartedly recommend Boutique Japan!
