Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance do I need to contact you?
It takes about 1 month to plan a trip, but consulting can be done in as little as 1 week before your trip. Remember that hotels fill up quickly, so it is best to start planning at least 3 months in advance.
Can I make changes to my itinerary?
Yes. We will work on the itinerary until it is exactly what you want.
Why should I hire a travel consultant?
We save you time making preparations for your trip, give expert advice on traveling in Japan, and can create a highly customized plan based on your preferences.
A detailed itinerary takes many hours of research. For every day traveling, plan to spend a full day planning beforehand. For example, a 7-day trip takes around 56 hours of planning (7 days, 8 hours a day).
In addition, nothing can replace first-hand knowledge on where to go, what to see, and how to travel.
