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

Thank you so much for arranging our travel! It was such a wonderful time and I can't wait to go back to Japan. It wouldn't have been this amazing experience without your help. Everything worked out perfectly and the schedule was spaced out and paced in a way that allowed us to explore some things… Read More

We absolutely loved our trip. I fell in love with Tokyo and am secretly hoping I can convince my sister or friend to visit soon so I can go with them to see more of the neighborhoods we missed this time around. Each guide was very, very well-matched with the type of tour they gave.… Read More

We are just settling back after a truly wonderful trip during which every aspect was quite special. The itinerary was full of highlights, superbly structured and finely organized – even down to the ‘comfortable’ 4-minute train change in Nagoya. Boutique Japan brought the team's deep knowledge of Japan to bear to develop a range of… 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

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

Boutique Japan planned our honeymoon in February 2016. Our overall experience with them was absolutely exceptional, I could not recommend them more. My husband and I love to travel but had never used a travel agent before (truth is we’ve always been skeptical). We found an article written by Boutique Japan on the best sushi… 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!
