A journey made for you

Like what we do, but can’t quite find what you’re looking for? Speak to us and see how we can help craft something just for you. Every bespoke trip is tailored to your needs and preferences, with the same care and thought we put into every journey we create.

Your Japan, your way

Snuggle in cosy futons, or sleep under the stars.

End the day in a tatami room, savour a multi-course Japanese dinner and soak in a steaming onsen. Or light a fire, cook by the river and spend the night beneath the stars. From boutique ryokans and family-run stays to carefully chosen campsites, we’ve got recommendations for comfort seekers, adventurers and those who sit somewhere in between.

Take the wheel, or hop on board.

Prefer the freedom of a car? We’ll design a self-drive journey with plenty of room for scenic detours and quieter places. Don’t drive? Japan’s trains and buses can take you surprisingly far. Or take on a challenge of a multi-day walking trail. ; )

Eat, learn, adventure, linger.

Taste produce straight from the source. Step into sites where the same traditions are practiced for centuries. Try something you’ve never done before, or simply find somewhere quiet to do absolutely nothing. Whether you’re after adventure, culture, good food or a slower escape into nature, we’ll help you find the version of Japan that feels right for you.

How it works

A good journey takes more than pinning a few places on a map. That’s why we charge a one-time planning fee of SGD 75 (USD 60) to kickstart your personalised journey, which is fully credited towards your final trip cost.
