My passion for Japan goes back to my childhood: cute or kawaii things have always brought a smile to my face; most of the cartoons I watched were Japanese, and Nintendo has been part of my life since I was little.

Over time, I have learned more about its fascinating culture and my curiosity about the country never stops growing. I love how they coexist between the deepest tradition and the most advanced technology. Likewise, I enjoy combining modern architecture with natural landscapes on my travels; their contemporary art and traditional onsen; the frenetic world of arcade games and the practice of meditation, or Zazen.

While traveling, I've experienced unforgettable moments, such as attending the closing of the Tsukiji market, being invited to a private tea ceremony at the Heian Shrine in Kyoto, having a band teach me how to play the taiko on the streets of Matsue, or getting lost in the bamboo forest of Arashiyama and finding myself alone in a temple that has become one of my favorite places in the whole world.

I love helping our clients get lost in rural areas, experience a local festival and visit places with a special charm that don't appear in typical Japanese guidebooks.

Shall we begin the adventure?
