Japan, planned around you

Tailor-made journeys across Japan, planned by our team on the ground

Japan, beyond the obvious

Japan is much more than Tokyo and Kyoto. Through Secret Japan Travel, you have access to a team in Japan with the local knowledge to plan around your interests, pace and budget – whether that takes you to the country’s best-known places or somewhere you hadn’t considered.

A Japan-based team to arrange your journey

Our travel designers in Japan can plan and book your arrangements directly, from hotels and transport to private guides, food and cultural experiences. Your journey is planned around your interests, preferred pace, travelling party and budget, combining Japan’s best-known places with regional destinations and experiences that can be difficult to arrange independently.

Refine the journey together, then our team in Japan will book and manage your arrangements and support you while you travel.
