Feedback on our itineraries, recommendations and reservation support.

Riley

“We really like the overall pace”

About custom itinerary planning

Thank you for such a thoughtful itinerary. We really like the overall pace and the combination of food, design, culture, hands-on experiences and downtime.

Casey

Verified client

“You made those hard-to-get bookings possible.”

About custom itinerary planning

Building the trip around a few special experiences while leaving plenty of time to explore independently is exactly what I’m looking for. I also appreciated the thoughtful restaurant alternatives beyond just the hardest-to-book names.
We also really appreciated your help booking Ghibli and Shibuya Sky, especially with how quickly tickets can sell out.

“It was such a relief to have your help.”

About reservation assistance

It was such a relief to have you take care of the bookings. We didn’t have to figure everything out on our own, and had much less to worry about.

Questions about planning & bookings

Japan trip planning & booking FAQs

What does a Japan travel concierge help with?

Japan Travel Concierge creates custom Japan itineraries and helps with restaurant, experience and transport reservation requests. Choose itinerary planning for your route and daily programme, or Booking Coordination for specific reservations. Explore our approach to luxury Japan travel.

Which parts of Japan can you help with?

We help with itineraries and reservation requests across Japan, including journeys through several regions. We agree the destinations, work and fee with you before starting. Provider rules and availability apply to reservations.

How much does Japan itinerary planning cost?

Itinerary planning starts at US$799 per trip for up to 10 days and US$999 for 11–14 days. These are service fees; hotels, meals, transport, activities and tickets cost extra. We agree the work and final fee before payment. See itinerary planning and fees.

What is included in a custom Japan itinerary?

A daily itinerary with routes, timings and travel notes; hotel, ryokan, dining and experience recommendations; agreed reservation assistance; and transport and luggage planning. See what you receive.

Can you plan around flights or hotels I have already booked?

Yes. We can design your route or daily itinerary around bookings you want to keep. Send us what is fixed and what still needs planning so we can agree the work. Tell us about your existing plans.

How is your Japan travel planning service different from a travel agency?

At JTC, you pay for a custom itinerary and the reservation help we agree to provide. We do not sell a package holiday. Your travel bookings are made in your name, and travel costs are separate from our service fee. Read how our service works.

Do you receive commissions from hotels or restaurants?

No. Hotels, restaurants and other travel companies do not pay us to recommend them for your trip. We choose places based on what you like and what you want to spend. You pay the service fee we agree for your planning or booking help.

Can I ask for Japan booking assistance without a full itinerary?

Yes. Booking Coordination starts at US$499 per trip for help with specific restaurant, activity and transport reservation requests, including Japanese-language enquiries and follow-up. The final scope and fee are agreed individually. Supplier costs are separate. See Booking Coordination.

Can you help with restaurant, Shinkansen and attraction bookings?

Yes, where the provider accepts the arrangement. We check booking methods and handle the Japanese-language enquiries and follow-up agreed with you. Some venues require the visiting guest to apply, purchase or pay directly. No reservation or ticket is guaranteed. Check booking responsibilities.

Can you help with luggage forwarding between hotels in Japan?

Yes, where the hotels and delivery provider accept the arrangement. We can include luggage coordination in your agreed planning or booking scope. Before sending a suitcase, confirm both hotels, the delivery date and what you will need to keep with you. Read our Japan luggage forwarding guide.

Is support during my Japan trip included?

Chat and phone support during your trip is optional and quoted separately. We agree the support dates, contact hours, response expectations and fee before travel. Provider change and cancellation charges may apply. See in-trip support.

What happens after I send a Japan trip enquiry?

We normally reply within one business day, Monday to Friday, Japan time. We discuss your dates, priorities and existing bookings, then agree the work and service fee before payment. Sending an enquiry does not create a booking or commit you to a fee.
