The most authentically traditional country in Asia, Japan offers an amazing contrast between new and old - from bustlingly modern Tokyo to secluded countryside retreats. Enjoy a traditional tea ceremony in the tranquillity of Kyoto, a picnic under the blooming branches of a ‘sakura’ tree in spring, or climb the impressive Mt Fuji on a misty morning. Japan is always on time, gardens are meticulously manicured and the varied local cuisine is simply mouth watering. Take a stroll through the backstreet alleys of Osaka and Nara for a taste of the local beer and delightful snacks, or get seduced by the mystery of a secret temple in the mountains.

Tailor made itineraries are possible and welcomed. Private guides can take you to small countryside towns or larger, more familiar places, focus on your interests and help you navigate public transport. Let us do the work.
