How this works
- A 50% deposit confirms your booking.
- We’ll confirm the details together — either with a paid online consultation, or simply by email — before we start planning.
- You’ll receive a draft itinerary within 5 business days of that conversation. Up to two rounds of adjustments are included at this stage.
- Once you’re happy with it, the remaining 50% is due.
- You’ll then receive the complete itinerary — full timings, reservation details, addresses and maps. One light round of adjustments (timing, small details) is included at this stage.
Sample itinerary — 7 days, Kyoto & Kanazawa
Old Japan at a quiet pace: temple mornings and quiet gardens in Kyoto, then over the mountains to Kanazawa for an afternoon in a lacquer workshop, the seafood stalls of Omicho Market, and a night in a traditional ryokan by the sea. Every plan is built around what you’d like to experience — this is simply one example of what’s possible.
A personal approach
These are not standard sightseeing programmes. Every trip is planned individually — taking into account your interests, your preferred pace, the time you have, and what you’d actually like to experience in Japan.
