Why Japan rewards the effort
Japan is safe, spotless and astonishingly efficient — and unlike anywhere else. In one trip you can stand under Tokyo’s neon, walk Kyoto’s temple lanes, ride a 300 km/h bullet train and soak in an onsen with a view of Mount Fuji. The language barrier and the planning are the only real hurdles, and that is exactly what we take off your plate.
What we arrange for your trip
One team runs the whole trip on a single itinerary, so nothing falls between a flight desk and a hotel desk:
- Flights — fares from your city, booked before prices move.
- Hotels & stays — matched to your budget and preferred area.
- Visa & entry — we confirm the current requirement for your travel dates and prepare the file (see the note below).
- Forex — local currency and a travel card arranged before you fly, at live rates.
- Tours & transfers — airport pickups, city tours and day trips coordinated on the ground.
- Travel insurance — a policy matched to your itinerary and activities.
What to see
- Tokyo — Shibuya and Shinjuku, Asakusa’s Senso-ji temple, teamLab and the food halls.
- Kyoto & Nara — Fushimi Inari’s torii gates, Arashiyama bamboo, geisha districts and Nara’s deer park.
- Mount Fuji & Hakone — lake views, ropeways and hot-spring ryokan stays.
- Osaka — Dotonbori street food, the castle and an easy base for the Kansai region.
- The Shinkansen — we help you use the rail passes that make inter-city travel simple.
When to go
Cherry blossom (late March–early April) and autumn foliage (November) are the iconic — and busiest — seasons; book well ahead. Spring and autumn are mild and ideal generally; summers are hot and humid with festivals; winters are crisp and good for snow and onsen. Rail passes and popular ryokan sell out around the peak weeks, so early booking matters.
Good to know
- Currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY); Japan still uses cash more than visitors expect — we sort both card and cash.
- Rail passes can save a lot but must often be arranged before you arrive.
- Etiquette — no tipping, quiet trains, shoes off where indicated.
