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 planning well in advance. We generally recommend planning around 9 to 12 months before your travel dates (especially for peak seasons like spring and fall) and cannot assist with last-minute requests. Our availability can fluctuate, due in part to our focus on fewer clients, along with high demand for the best local guides, experts, and accommodations.
- You are seeking a bespoke Japan trip of 1 week or longer. Our specialty is itineraries of around 1 to 3 weeks in length.
- You are looking for an expertly designed itinerary that includes thoughtfully selected hotels and ryokans, your in-country transport within Japan, and an insightful mix of unique private experiences. See what our trips typically include (and please note that we don’t book “a la carte” services, i.e., only hotels or only tours).
- Your desired budget for your Japan adventure aligns with the pricing for our trips.
- 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!

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.

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.

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
