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!

Boutique Japan did a fantastic job of planning an itinerary that completely matched our vision. Our group of 4 came away feeling that for 2 weeks, we had the opportunity to become immersed in the daily life of the Japanese. The guides, the hotels, and the experiences were all expertly planned. The app they provided… 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

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 really had a terrific trip! Can’t thank you enough for the thoughtful planning and recommendations along the way. From Naoshima for the guys (a huge highlight), to the magical Kyoto of temples, bamboo forests and geishas, to sumo in Osaka, through the restful ryokan and walking around Shuzenji Onsen on a rainy day, and… Read More
