About me

My passion for Japan began at a young age when I received a book showcasing the country's beauty. The pages were filled with images of cherry blossoms in bloom and charming, traditional towns with wooden bridges. To me, Japan appeared to be a real-life fairytale, and I dreamed of visiting one day.

I was fortunate enough to live in Japan for two years, which allowed me to experience the country through the eyes of a local. During my time there, I was able to embrace the changing seasons and immerse myself in the cultural events that define Japanese life. My favourite season is autumn, when the vibrant red momiji (maple leaves) create breathtaking landscapes across the country. This firsthand experience has deeply influenced the way I craft personalized itineraries, always ensuring to include unique, local experiences for our customers.

Two regions that stand out to me are Kansai and Kyushu. Though they contrast in many ways, both areas offer an incredible diversity of food, people, and must-visit locations. Whether you're drawn to the historic beauty of traditional Kyoto or the serene landscapes of Kyushu, I’m here to help you discover Japan’s rich and varied wonders.
