Our View
Discover Japan beyond
Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.
We work with travel companies in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, taking care of their clients in Japan — families, private parties and groups who expect every detail to be right.
Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka are where most journeys begin. Beyond them, in regions many travelers have yet to hear of, are landscapes found nowhere else, and a culture and history that are still part of everyday life.
Japan also has four distinct seasons. The same place in spring and in autumn offers a different journey — one reason travelers who visit Japan once so often want to return.
A history and a culture unlike anywhere else. Eating what people there actually eat. A craftsman's hands, a local festival. Or simply slowing down for three days somewhere green and remote. What your clients want from Japan is never one thing.
So we don't offer off-the-shelf itineraries. We design each journey around your clients — who they are and what they hope to experience — and arrange it directly with the hotels, guides and hosts who will welcome them.
How It Works
One point of contact
for everything in Japan.
You sell the tour. We handle everything on the ground in Japan — hotels and ryokan, coaches and private cars, restaurants, guides, experiences and admissions — and we settle with every supplier afterwards, so your team deals with one contract and one invoice.

What We Arrange
Every part of it, agreed
one supplier at a time.
Your clients have chosen Japan over everywhere else, and many of them will choose it again. What decides whether they do is rarely the headline sights — it is whether the ryokan knew they were coming, whether the guide was the right one, whether dinner suited them. So we agree every part of a program directly, with people we know by name.

Three kinds of programGroups · Private & FIT · Incentives

SERVICE 02
Private & small groups
Tailor-made travel for families and parties of a few. Ryokan and heritage stays, private vehicles, licensed guides, and experiences that are difficult to secure from outside Japan.
SERVICE 03
Incentives & MICE
Incentive travel, company trips and meetings. Venue and hotel blocks, receptions, private events, transfers and on-site staffing.
