Follow The Frogs specialises in nature-based journeys in Japan, starting with the Kii Peninsula. Local places, wild views, deeper experiences. The best part? All with the comforts of Japan.
Kero from Tobi & Kai!
We’re a Singaporean couple who swapped the city skyline for countryside Japan. After spending extended time travelling to over 40 countries, we found our calling in the Kii Peninsula and decided to stay. Now, we’re inviting you to follow us as we share our favourite corners, one journey at a time.
Explore Japan through our lens
We’ve handpicked the locations, tested the routes, and put together a collection of ready-to-go journeys, guided by the values we stand for. Choose how you want to travel, and we’ll take care of the groundwork.
Who is this for?
Travellers drawn to Japan’s countryside, but do not know where to begin.
People who appreciate nature and the outdoors, but still want a comfy bed.
Friends, couples, families who enjoy travelling at own privacy and pace, minus the legwork.
Come along with us
Some journeys are better shared. A few times a year, we open up a small number of hosted tours to experience our home ground, the Kii Peninsula. We’ll explore, hike, cook, and drive together; from sea to mountains and back again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Not really! Age isn’t the deciding factor. What matters more is your mobility and comfort with the activities involved. Our journeys vary in pace and activity levels; some are more relaxed, while others are better suited to travellers who enjoy being active. If you’re unsure which journey is right for you, just get in touch and we’re happy to help.
Expect a mix of cosy and unique stays, curated by us. We’ll arrange traditional ryokans with fluffy futons and hot springs, welcoming guesthouses, and, if you’re up for it, a night under the stars (don’t worry, it’s not survival camping). You won’t find budget or backpacker-style accommodation here.
Where driver services are available, we’re happy to help arrange one. However, in some remote areas of Japan, dedicated driver services can be unavailable. Taxis may get you from point to point, but they generally won’t wait while you explore. That’s why some of our journeys are designed as self-drive, giving you the freedom to reach places that are harder to access otherwise. If you’d prefer not to drive, we also have journeys designed around public transport, or we can explore a bespoke trip with you.
We can’t promise a five-star vegan menu deep in the mountains, but we’ll do our best! Let us know your dietary needs ahead of time, and we’ll work with local hosts to make sure you’re looked after.
Yes! We are a Singapore-licensed travel agency (Licence No. TA03926) regulated by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). Being a licensed travel agency means we meet STB’s requirements for financial standing and ongoing reporting, including a minimum paid-up capital and regular submission of audited accounts. These requirements help provide greater protection and peace of mind when booking your trip with us.
