Hire the Best Travel Planners
in Japan

Make the most of your trip to Japan with the help of a bilingual Japanese travel planner. A Kyoto native who currently calls Okinawa home, I started my career in the travel industry working as a concierge at Kyoto’s Tourism Information Center. There I developed a passion for helping travelers truly immerse in Japanese culture, from booking stays at Kyoto’s beautiful ‘machiya’ traditional homes to encouraging them to seek out the city’s hidden gems. I’ve also worked as a customer service representative for ANA – Japan’s largest airline – and held customer support and management roles at Airbnb Japan. Now as an independent travel planner and a nationally certified domestic travel business manager, I help tourists from all around the world discover my captivating country. • I can be your sounding board Already have a rough plan for your Japan vacation? Great – I’m happy to review it with you, provide feedback and offer suggestions to make sure you have an amazing time while you’re here. • I can create a personalized plan for you Feeling a little overwhelmed or unsure of where to go? Let’s jump on a call so I can get to know you and start putting together the ideal itinerary based on your preferences and travelling style. I then use custom software to present your personalized itinerary as a beautiful guide. • I can be your Japanese-speaking virtual concierge Break through the language barrier by engaging me as a native Japanese speaker to call hotels, restaurants and tourism operators. I can also seek out and book niche experiences based on your tastes and interests. Through my roles at Airbnb Japan and ANA, I’m well versed in collaborative tools such as Trello, Slack and Google Workspace, as well as video conferencing platforms like Skype and Zoom, so rest assured I’ll provide an efficient, professional travel planning service. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you!
