We have traveled extensively but Boutique Japan is by far the best travel agency that we… Read More

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

My amazing husband worked with Boutique Japan (behind my back!) to help put together the most amazing surprise birthday trip ever. Having had the benefit of not doing any of the work but only enjoying the experience, I have to say there could not have been a more perfectly planned trip. Boutique Japan was incredibly… Read More

Our trip was so perfect from initially working with Roni and then Piper and the rest of the team. The travel arrangements were awesome and communicated so very clearly. The Axus app was terrific.

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 really had an amazing time. We loved Japan, and the experience was made incredibly special by the thoughtfulness and care that went into the planning.

Our trip was truly a great experience planned by a very professional group. My family and I are frequent travelers. We've been to all continents and about 70 plus countries (much on pleasure, but some on business). We have used many travel companies to help plan trips, including the high end well known groups. My… Read More

Tellingly, our guides had amazing things to say about Andres and the rest of Boutique Japan. Travel companies like this are often only as good as the guides they procure for you, and those we had through Boutique Japan were top-notch.
The team is also diligent in collecting feedback at all points in the process, particularly while planning the trip and once we had returned. I'm confident that our feedback will be used to make sure future parties enjoy an even better experience.
Many thanks to Andres, Piper, and all the rest of Boutique Japan for making our trip unforgettable!

I have traveled with many different companies all over the world and they are the best I've ever dealt with.

In my opinion, the tours were the highlight of our trip. The tour guides were amazing and knowledgeable. They were helpful and fun. We honestly can't pinpoint which tour was the best because the experiences were so varied.
