Japan · Itinerary review

Already have an itinerary? Let us review it

You have planned the trip yourself and want a second pair of eyes before you book. Send it to us as it stands, and the team that stays in and inspects these ryokans and hotels, with colleagues on the ground in Japan, will tell you what we would keep and what we would change.

A written review

Within 3 working days: what works, what we would change, and our own tips and local recommendations.

A 30-minute call

With our team, to talk it through and answer what the review raises, at a time that suits you.

USD 85, once

Paid when you send it, through Stripe. No subscription, and nothing to book with us unless you want to.

What we look at

The pace: the nights in each place, and the days that try to do too much.
The ryokans and hotels: whether they suit you, the room to ask for, and where we would stay instead.
The trains, cars and transfers between them, and the luggage.
The season: closures, crowds, festivals and what is at its best when you go.
What to book and when: the inns and trains that open months ahead, and the tables worth reserving.
Our own tips and local recommendations: the restaurants, the quieter temples and the walks we would add, from our stays and our team in Japan.
