Andy has literally written the book about traveling in Japan (Lonely Planet Guides). With over two decades of Japan experience, Andy channels that knowledge, passion and personal relationships to create cultural journeys with an insider perspective. Services include:
- Custom planning of self-guided tours, tailored to your interests, including detailed day-by-day itineraries, specially arranged visits, hotels and transport. Day guides are available on request.
- Fully guided trips led by experienced Japanese-speaking guides including Andy himself.
“All of your recommendations
of things to do, places to stay, and timing of everything were perfect."
