ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Just like you, we are foreigners from all around the world. When we first arrived in Japan, we all found this city to be overwhelming, not sure where to begin.
During the years that we have lived here though, we have discovered and visited countless famous tourist attractions as well as unique and underground places.
We are now proud to say that we are experts of Japan and would love to share the knowledge with all of you!
WHAT WE DO
Basically, we’re on a mission to show you just how magical Japan really is. 🎌
We’re talking expertly planned trips, unique themed tours, and one-of-a-kind cultural experiences that connect you with real Japan and real locals. No generic itineraries, no surface-level sightseeing—just deep, immersive, and unforgettable adventures.
You want a custom itinerary that fits your style? Done. A group trip that’s actually fun and not just a bus full of strangers? We got you. An experience so authentic that you feel like you’re stepping straight into the heart of Japan? That’s exactly what we do.
Scroll down and let’s make your Japan adventure something special. ⬇️✨

His guidance led us through the city’s old and new aspects, imparting valuable skills like purchasing subway tickets and suggesting additional trips. Beyond all this, what we liked most was Leon himself: he’s friendly and really funny, he knows a lot about Japanese culture and traditions.”
