Our people.

Much like an experienced tailor knows how to create a dress that makes you feel like a star on a red carpet, our consultants delve deep, asking the right questions, and come up with a unique itinerary that will show you the Japan of your dreams - and beyond.
We live and breathe Japan. Each consultant has an average of 15+ years of Japan-focused expertise, spending several weeks in the country every year.
Not only do we possess extensive knowledge, but we also have the largest network of partners in Japan, proudly being part of JTB Corporation, the largest and oldest Japanese travel agency, born in 1912.
