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’re a small team focused on delivering exceptional service to each traveler we work with. While we may not be able to respond to every inquiry, our website and blog are filled with helpful resources to support your planning. Thank you for your understanding and consideration!

First off, the trip beautifully fulfilled our very demanding expectations. Given our many areas of interest, prior experience and particular needs, I can’t imagine anyone else meeting all that so well. Our guides were all excellent.
