In our guests’ words

“He gently and expertly guided me through trying some unique and interesting local dishes that I would have ordinarily avoided.”

I recently returned from a spectacular trip to Japan and I can’t say enough about Luxury Japan Travel and our tour director.

The company was a pleasure to work with. They were quick to respond to our enquiries and put together a beautifully organized itinerary that captured everything we wanted to see and do and included some very special moments and culinary experiences that we would never have been able to plan on our own.

What truly made the trip unforgettable, however, was our tour director. He was professional, highly knowledgeable and very personable. It was clear that he genuinely cared about our experience, going out of his way to ensure we ticked off every single item on our wish list. We had many great conversations and plenty of laughs during our time together.

On a personal note, I was so grateful for his patience and encouragement. He gently and expertly guided me through trying some unique and interesting local dishes that I would have ordinarily avoided. Thanks to him, those culinary adventures became some of my favourite memories of the trip!

Life is short. Book the trip and let Luxury Japan Travel look after the details!

“deeply knowledgeable about Japan in a way that went far beyond the guidebook”

Truly Exceptional, Start to Finish

From the very beginning, Luxury Japan Travel set themselves apart by actually listening. Before the trip, they asked us what we wanted, how we wanted to explore Japan, which restaurants mattered to us, and what kinds of experiences we were hoping for. They then built a thoughtful, tailored itinerary around our answers — not a generic template.

What truly made the experience was our tour director. He was absolutely remarkable — responsive, patient, and deeply knowledgeable about Japan in a way that went far beyond the guidebook. We leaned heavily on his expertise throughout the trip, and he delivered every single time. Whether navigating logistics, recommending hidden gems, or simply making us feel taken care of, he elevated the entire journey.

If you're looking for a Japan travel experience that is genuinely personalised and guided by someone who clearly loves what they do, look no further. Luxury Japan Travel exceeded every expectation.

“just the right activities at just the right pace”

It is my pleasure to add my voice of enthusiasm to those who have traveled with - and have had a life-altering experience with - Luxury Japan Travel. [My daughter] and I were traveling on our own and wanted the peace of mind that comes with someone helping you navigate a new and different world. Our experience was ideal in that our tour eased the transition into this new place, but also helped us become completely immersed in Tokyo, Osaka, and - my favorite - Kyoto. The entire operation was the definition of bespoke with attention paid at every turn to what work would for us, us - not just anyone - to have a special experience with just the right activities at just the right pace. And when my daughter became vegetarian six weeks before the trip, with me still a committed carnivore, both of our needs were met throughout the trip with meals we will remember forever. But part of what made the meals - and our experience on the last night with a working Geiko - most memorable were the deep conversations that introduced us to Japanese history and culture and were just plain good talks. For an experience of a lifetime, look no further; Luxury Japan Travel is an outstanding choice and we are already looking forward to our return.

“showing remarkable patience in accommodating all our requests”

From the very beginning, the service was outstanding. The team was fully focused on our preferences, carefully aligning them with everything Japan has to offer.

They were highly organized and structured, and together we were able to craft a personalized itinerary that perfectly covered the destinations and experiences we wanted to explore.

We were assigned an exceptional tour guide who was always thoughtful, consistently offering the best recommendations and showing remarkable patience in accommodating all our requests.

Thanks to the entire team who made this journey possible — for my wife and me, it was truly a dream come true.

“Their expertise in the Japanese culture and language, and care to ensure we were looked after was second to none.”

We went on a tour with Luxury Japan Travel earlier this year through Kyoto and Kyushu and couldn't have done it without them! Their expertise in the Japanese culture and language, and care to ensure we were looked after was second to none. From exploring lesser known sites, to navigating the train system, to finding traditional places to eat, the tour was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend booking with them.

“Our 2 Tour Directors connected us with Japan and her people”

My good friend and I did the small (only 4 of us) group Cherry Blossom tour and Hiroshima extension over 2 weeks. Highlights were the the private dinner with Geisha, magnificent cherry blossoms in all the areas we visited, early morning walks among the blossoms, bento box picnics under the tress, experiencing traditional Japanese hospitality in old onsen hotels at the seaside town of Kinosaki, waking to the magnificent views of Mt Fuji and witnessing the solemnity of Peace Park in Hiroshima. Our 2 Tour Directors connected us with Japan and her people, something that just isn't possible with larger groups. We learned and experienced what life in like in old style Japan and in modern Japan. Engagement with people throughout the tour was only possible because of our 2 engaging Directors. This brought the whole experience alive and made our visit all the more memorable.

“provided an excellent tour director who took care of our every need”

We had an amazing journey with Luxury Japan Travel. They customized an itinerary based on our desires and provided an excellent tour director who took care of our every need! The accommodations were superb and food and wine experience exceptional! We were fortunate to have a tour director who was familiar and knowledge about the country, the food and the language. He was personable, had an excellent sense of humor and provided us with just enough information! I can't imagine the trip without him! It was truly a trip of a lifetime and worth every penny! I can't wait to come back!

“By the end of the trip, our tour director felt like one of our best friends.”

We just returned from a 12 day land tour of Japan organized by Luxury Japan Travel. The trip far exceeded my expectations, hopes and dreams. Our tour director spoke fluent Japanese and English. He was very attentive to our wants and needs. The accommodations were remarkably good and it seemed like we had reservations for the best rooms on the hotel, including overlooking the Imperial Palace in Osaka. He made sure our schedule included visiting the temples and palaces at times that were not the peak hours. His knowledge of the culture was outstanding and he was able to educate us on everything from the details of a “Shinto” wedding to the schedule of the children in school to the history of Japan. By the end of the trip, our tour director felt like one of our best friends. I highly recommend Luxury Japan Travel for their knowledge and expertise.

“It was a first class and outstanding tour in all respects.”

We recently had a small private group 11 day tour from Tokyo to Mount Fuji to Kyoto to Kinosaki and Osaka. It was a wonderful experience to not only see the cities but also the countryside. It was a first class and outstanding tour in all respects. Our Tour Director was outstanding in guiding us through all the sites, domestic travel and coordinating the fantastic meals and accommodations (and Onsans) of which were also first class and outstanding. It was certainly a special experience from arrival to departure of which was made possible by all of the great efforts and coordination of our Tour Director and the Luxury Japan Travel Staff.

“From the initial call, every part of the trip has been incredible.”

I've been planning for a trip to Japan for a long time, three previous trips were cancelled. This year I decided that I was going, period. The team from Luxury Japan Travel ensured that my first trip was nothing short of EPIC! From the initial call, every part of the trip has been incredible. [Our Tour Directors] are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and courteous, plus excellent travel guides! If you wanted to travel to Japan and want a team who will ensure that you have unique opportunities designed around your wishlist, look no further.

“this was all thought through for us”

First time we have travelled with others -best break-such a professional set up and such a relaxing time for us. Food fantastic and whole experience was just the best. Photo of coffee shop at Sapporo Station -Hokkaido - was a reminder that usually we would be struggling with which platform etc where this was all thought through for us and we could just coffee and pastry! Can't recommend highly enough for a 1st Class experience.

“our expertly compiled itinerary”

[Our Tour Directors] were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly tour guides supported by our Japanese interpreter [name withheld]. For 7 full days, our expertly compiled itinerary included a Michelin restaurant, Sushi, Japanese BBQ, Sashimi, Izakaya, Kaiseki, Sukiyaki as well as classy street food at various locations around Tokyo, Yokohama and Kawasaki.

I would definitely recommend Japan Food Tours to anyone wishing to experience real Japanese cuisine, sights, culture and friendly and fascinating people.

“Without taking the tour my trip to Japan would have been far less delicious.”

Without taking the tour my trip to Japan would have been far less delicious. These guys have the local knowledge to deliver an authentic food experience. There was so much I didn’t know about Japanese cuisine until I took the tour! Well organised and professional. Thanks.

“Can not recommend highly enough”

Without the doubt the greatest travel experience of my life. Can not recommend highly enough!

“No request was too big, we were looked after so, so well.”

My wife and I have traveled to Europe many times and taken part in many river cruises. We can both safely say that travelling to Japan with Luxury Japan Travel was the best thing we have ever done. No request was too big, we were looked after so, so well. If you are having doubts ask the team at Luxury Japan Travel to give you my number, I will tell you how good they really are. Great experience, will go again!

“The team’s care and attention to every detail made us feel truly pampered.”

Having returned from the Classic Cherry Blossom Tour with Luxury Japan Travel I must say, it was a dream come true. Every day was filled with stunning sights, like Mount Fuji and Kyoto, and the cherry blossoms were all I expected and more. The culinary experiences were top-notch – the sushi, kaiseki and Kobe beef were standouts for me. The team’s care and attention to every detail made us feel truly pampered. An unforgettable and luxurious way to see Japan!

“from the first personal greeting at Tokyo’s Narita airport to our send off home”

As a Canadian, I had the immense pleasure of participating in the spring Northern Japanese Cherry Blossom Tour. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this amazing tour. It was intimate and extremely well-planned. Train transportation from the First Class Shinkansen (Bullet Train) to local trains to subways were our main mode of transportation.

Incredible meals every day and perfect cherry blossoms created amazing experiences. We travelled off the beaten tourist routes to experience first hand Japanese culture and traditions and interactions with local residents in a very meaningful way. Travelling with the Luxury Japan Travel group was an immense pleasure – from the first personal greeting at Tokyo’s Narita airport to our send off home. Every need and desire was answered promptly, respectfully and professionally.

Should touring Japan be an item on your bucket list, I can’t recommend the Luxury Japan Travel Team more highly. Their professionalism and knowledge of Japan makes for a highly personal, informative and engaging tour. They truly care for their guests. I can’t wait to join Luxury Japan Travel Team on another amazing experience!

“Our time at the exquisitely selected Ryokan near Mt Fuji”

Our Luxury Japan Travel tour featured spectacular meals, fascinating cultural learnings and eye-poppingly beautiful cherry blossoms (Sakura.) We loved the various food styles, from fusion dishes created by celebrity chefs in upmarket and exclusive restaurants to authentic local experiences with lots of sake. Our time at the exquisitely selected Ryokan near Mt Fuji was unforgettable, with Japanese culture on full display. This was a truly remarkable tour.

“seeing Mt Fuji surrounded by autumn colours”

We’ve always wanted to see the autumn colours in Japan and this tour nailed it! Kyoto was like a postcard with all the colourful leaves, and seeing Mt Fuji surrounded by autumn colours was a dream come true. The tour was super well-planned and the tour directors were amazing – they knew everything and made sure we had a great time. Plus, we learned so much about Japan’s culture. Can’t wait to go on another tour with Luxury Japan Travel!

“We sat under cherry blossoms, with amazing food and perfect weather.”

Choosing Luxury Japan Travel for our Japan trip was the best decision! Their unique hanami picnic was like a slice of heaven. We sat under cherry blossoms, with amazing food and perfect weather. The scenery was breathtaking – it felt like we were part of a beautiful Japanese painting.

The most special part? Feeling like locals. Some people from Japan even joined us, sharing their Japanese sake and stories. It wasn’t just a tour; it was truly real Japanese culture. No other company does this like Luxury Japan Travel. My husband and I had an unforgettable experience! We are coming again next year

“Luxury Japan Travel thought about every little detail”

I travelled for the fourth time to Japan on The Hokkaido Tour and I am so glad I was able to be part of a great group of people. Luxury Japan Travel thought about every little detail and made my trip a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. I loved the sushi, traditional accommodation and the beautiful countryside. Do yourself a favour and discover Hokkaido with Luxury Japan Travel, I wish I could recommend this fantastic journey to everyone.

The most amazing food, sights and activities. We really loved the fresh air, open spaces and lavender fields. Cannot recommend highly enough to future guests.

“A highlight of our Tour was seeing the Cherry blossoms in flower at Hirosaki Castle.”

I had the most wonderful experience to go on a tour of Japan, with Luxury Japan Travel in April/May this year. Our Tour guide looked after our every need; we were able to relax; enjoy the food; the amazing scenery, of Japan. We had several trips on the very fast Bullet trains enjoyed a Bento Box lunches during the trip, while watching the scenery fly by.

A highlight of our Tour was seeing the Cherry blossoms in flower at Hirosaki Castle. Words cannot describe how amazing it was to see so many trees with Blossoms in flower. We had a small group on our trip, which was truly delightful. We were grateful, for the special attention our tour guide gave,

The accommodation was excellent. The whole trip was very well organized.

“The director knew so much and really brought the history to life.”

Just got back from the Kyoto and Mt Fuji Autumn Leaves tour with Luxury Japan Travel and it was incredible! Kyoto’s temples looked stunning with all those red and orange leaves. So many hidden areas away from the crowds. Food was all first-class. And Mt Fuji? Wow, just wow! The director knew so much and really brought the history to life. They took care of everything, so we could just soak in the beauty and learn loads about Japan. Best decision ever to go on this tour!

“for the first time, we weren’t rushed”

As frequent travelers, we’ve often opted for well-known, big-name tour companies, but lately, we’ve felt like just another number in the crowd. Acting on a friend’s strong recommendation, we switched to Luxury Japan Travel for their Autumn Leaves Tour – and what a game-changer! This wasn’t just a smaller group; it was a completely different experience, night and day. Instead of being one of 28 crammed onto a bus, there was only eight of us, each moment felt personal and special.

The organization was impeccable. We explored in comfortable vans, complete with thoughtful amenities like snacks and drinks. Every destination was stunning, and for the first time, we weren’t rushed. We truly immersed ourselves in the beauty of Japan and its culture. It’s clear that Luxury Japan Travel understands what it means to value and respect both their guests and the destinations. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure with them!

“every detail was carefully considered”

As a Singaporean family with our adult sons and their wives, we wanted something extraordinary for our Japan trip. Choosing Luxury Japan Travel for a custom ski and food adventure in Hokkaido and Northern Japan was the best decision we ever made. The skiing was an exhilarating experience for all of us, set against breathtaking landscapes.

What impressed us most was the meticulous planning and organization of the entire trip, every detail was carefully considered. The tour directors were exceptional – knowledgeable, friendly, and always going the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience. This wasn’t just a holiday; Luxury Japan Travel has set a new standard for our family vacations. We’re already looking forward to planning another custom tour with them – their expertise in crafting unforgettable journeys is truly unmatched. We highly, highly recommend
