What Is Arranged

Four things, handled properly.

Where you stay

A hotel in the wrong district costs you an hour a day. You receive two or three properties chosen for your budget, your route and how you travel — with the reason for each.

How you move

Shinkansen or a domestic flight. Whether the rail pass earns its cost. When to send luggage ahead. Answered once, for your route, with the exact trains and times.

Where you eat

Japan's best rooms take bookings by telephone, in Japanese, from a Japanese number. I make those calls and confirm the table in your name.

While you are here

A day-by-day plan you can open on your phone, with Juno reachable in Japan if a train is late or a plan needs changing.

I live in Tokyo and spend most of my week in the places this work is built on. What you receive comes from a shortlist I keep myself — not an aggregated list you could have found.

How It Works

Three steps.

A conversation about your trip

You tell me your dates, your pace and what matters. I confirm what I would arrange, and the design fee, before anything is charged.

The journey is designed

Stays, routes, tables and daily flow are decided and connected. You review it, and you and I refine it together.

You travel

Reservations are held in your name, the plan lives on your phone, and I am reachable in Japan while you are here.

Booking Coordination

Already planned your trip?

If your hotels and cities are already decided, I can take care of restaurant reservations, activities, transportation and other bookings.
