I’ve been traveling to Japan for more than a decade, exploring every nook and cranny of the country to the point where I can plan an amazing adventure in my sleep. But what if you’ve only got a few weeks—or days—to undertake a timeless Japan itinerary?
This is why you should hire to me to plan your trip to Japan for 2025 or 2026. When you purchase a customized Japan travel itinerary, I leverage my years of experience in Japan to create a trip you’ll never forget.
How would you like to stroll under sakura during cherry blossom season in Kyoto or Kanazawa? Hike an ancient trading route through the Japanese Alps? Ski award-winning slopes in snowy Hokkaido? Frolic amid fall foliage in Takayama or Shirakawa-go? See the other side of history in Hiroshima or Nagasaki?
No matter where in Japan you want to explore, I’ll curate a Japan trip plan with experiences you’ll be talking about for years to come. Not to mention, personalized recommendations for accommodations and meals, plus detailed transportation advice throughout.
I can also optimize your free time on Japan business and incentive trips. I empowered a recent client to discover Kyoto and Osaka after a conference in Tokyo, and helped another reward her team with an unforgettable weekend at Japan’s most scenic onsen.
Whether you travel for business, pleasure or both, a custom Japan travel itinerary provides information and inspiration for any trip to Japan.
One-on-One Consultation
Whether you prefer to video chat via Zoom or email, we’ll speak until I understand exactly the Japan itinerary that’s right for you.
Comprehensive Itinerary
Your custom Japan itinerary includes personalized suggestions* for daily accommodation, transport, activities, dining and everything else you’ll need. Sample Japan itinerary available upon request.
Ongoing Support
It’ll only take me 1-2 weeks to put your Japan itinerary together, but I’m available to assist you right up until departure with questions and even minor** last-minute changes to your Japan trip itinerary.
Due to the amount of time, energy and expertise I devote to crafting your custom Japan itinerary, the service is subject to a fee as per below:
Japan Itinerary Review
Have you already planned out a Japan itinerary, and simply need me to look over what you’ve done, or provide suggestions on how to make it even better? I also offer a Japan itinerary review service! It’s priced at half the cost of my full Japan itinerary planning service, based on the intended length of your trip. So my cost to review a 1-2 week Japan trip, in 2025, would be $350. Even better, if you later end up hiring me to plan your trip fully, I roll the review cost into the cost of the full itinerary.
Japan Transportation Consultation
The journey is just as important as the destination, particularly when that destination is as spectacular as Japan. If you’ve created the ultimate itinerary but need help with the logistical piece of it, don’t worry. From bullet trains, to long-distance buses, to rental cars and even transportation within cities, I’ll get you from point A to point B, and then some. My transportation consultation service is priced at $225 per week of travel.
NOTE: My custom Japan itineraries include detailed transportation advice for the duration of your trip. The Transportation Consultation service is designed for travelers who only need assistance with transportation and logistics.
