Properties, guides, drivers and makers
Luxury Japan Travel plans, organises and runs private tours of Japan. This page is for the people we work with in doing so: hotels and ryokan, guides, drivers, and the makers whose workshops our guests visit. It explains what we look for and how to introduce yourself.
what we look for
What we look for
We work with a small number of properties, guides, drivers and makers, and we keep those relationships for years. We look for:
Consistency. A standard that holds whether or not anyone is watching.
Readiness. Rooms prepared well before the guest arrives.
Timing. Drivers who know the road and keep to the minute.
Attention. Guides who know the place and read the guest.
Craft. Work that speaks for itself.

What working with us means
We keep our relationships for years, not seasons. You will work with private groups that never exceed eight guests, and with the custom tours we run each year for a small number of guests.
