One service, done properly.

A day-by-day plan, built around you

Your route is built from scratch around your dates, pace, interests and budget — whether that is 5 days in Kyoto or 15 days across Japan. Each day says where you go, what you see, and how the day flows, so you never stand in a station wondering what comes next.

Stays I search and propose — you book directly

I research where you should stay and propose the best locations for price and convenience — near the right station, on the right side of town for your route. I don't book hotels: you book directly with the hotel or platform, so you stay in control and pay the hotel, not a middleman.

All transport, specified exactly

Every journey is planned — taxi, bus and train — and I tell you exactly what to buy:

• Which pass — and whether it actually saves you money on your route
• Which type of ticket to buy for each train, for efficiency and cost
• Luggage forwarding where it helps, so you can travel light with small cases and wash as you go
• Unmissable station-to-hotel directions for every stay — the one thing my early guests found hard, now spelled out every time

A travel book — and an app

You receive your trip in two linked forms. The travel book is for reading and dreaming before you go. The app is the same trip in the form you follow each day on the ground: routes with Google Maps links, transport and times, costs, and where you sleep that night.

A full costed budget

Your plan comes with a realistic, day-by-day budget — stays, transport, food and visits — so you know what the trip will cost before you commit to it. In an illustrative historic sample—not a current quote, 15 days in Japan came to ¥233,255 for 2 people at the time—about $1,480 in total (roughly $740 each), worked out in full.
