A couple hiking the Nakasendo Trail booked a ryokan in Takayama, not understanding the logistics of getting from the Kiso Valley to Takayama. They realized at the last minute that they wouldn’t be able to make it to Takayama.

What Our Clients are Saying
OUR TRIP WENT FLAWLESSLY!
“We just returned from Japan where, thanks to you, our trip went flawlessly. Kyoto was superb; Hiroshima was moving and memorable; Tokyo went by in a flash – just like the marvelous Shinkansen!
Becki recommended the best use of our money and time, hotels, trains and buses, which sights are must-see and which can be missed, and so much more. If you’re planning a trip to Japan, I wouldn’t hesitate to have Becki help you make the most of your time there.
Arigato Becki!”
Steve & Wendy – Atlanta, GA
AN INSTRUMENTAL PART IN PLANNING
“Becki and Shawn have been an instrumental part in planning my family’s first visit to Japan. Their expertise and knowledge is vital to making this a trip of a lifetime! Working with them has been flawless. They are excellent communicators, easy to reach, welcome all our questions, and eager to create an experience custom to my family’s wants and desires.
In fact, they specialize in unique experiences that most tourists don’t even know about or have access to without knowledge like there’s. There’s no other way I’d plan a trip halfway around the globe without the two of them.
Thank you Becki & Shawn for your patience, passion, and love for creating memories for a lifetime!”
Dan & Georgie – Atlanta, GA
FEEL SO MUCH MORE PREPARED
