Thank you for considering us to help you plan your Japan trip! We love working with travelers from around the world.
We have a low-volume approach to Japan travel planning, and intentionally work with fewer travelers to ensure that each trip we arrange gets the personalized attention it deserves. Learn more about our planning process and guidelines for planning together.
We would love to hear from you if:
- You are seeking a trip of 1 week or longer. Our specialty is itineraries of around 1 to 3 weeks in length.
- You are planning well in advance. Our availability can fluctuate, due to our focus on fewer clients, along with demand for the best local guides, experts, and accommodations. We typically recommend planning around 9 to 12 months in advance (especially for peak seasons like spring and fall), and cannot assist with last-minute requests.
- Your desired budget for your Japan adventure aligns with the pricing for our trips.
- You are looking for a bespoke Japan itinerary that includes thoughtfully selected hotels and ryokans, in-country transport, and unique private experiences. See what our trips typically include, and please note that we don’t book “a la carte” services (e.g., only hotels or only tours).
- You are a traveler (not a travel agent). We love our fellow travel industry professionals, but work exclusively with travelers directly.
We are a small team and simply cannot assist everyone who contacts us. Our website (particularly our blog) is filled with Japan travel information, which we hope helps as many travelers as possible. Thank you for your understanding and consideration!

My experience with Boutique Japan couldn’t have been any better. From my initial conversation with Andres, through the back-and-forth about the itinerary with Piper, to the last-minute changes because of a typhoon hitting Japan, they were well-informed, thorough and responded quickly to questions and requests. They really listened when my husband and I described the… 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 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
