We were looking for someone that could help us on the ground in Japan with everything from reservations to random questions like how to use the copy machine at a convenience store to get theme park tickets.

Miharu was exactly that person and gave us a lot of confidence going into our first trip to Japan!

It was also great to have her on hand once we were in Japan for last minute changes and questions.
Would definitely recommend for all your Japan planning needs!

“Miharu provided an excellent service, whilst being knowledgeable we laughed together and she made Japan planning less stressful.
As a vegetarian and require medical assistance she also provided translations into Japanese which came in very handy. Miharu also helped planned our journeys on a day to day basis and provided a service where we would be able to rely/call/ message her if we needed during our trip which was a huge weight of our shoulders, knowing we had Miharu's help if needed.”

“We had an excellent time in Japan and there were no major problems.
In particular, staying overnight in Shirakawa-go was my favourite part of the whole trip and that would have been impossible without her assistance.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Miharu, who created the PERFECT itinerary for a group that included young couples and small children. She asked all the right questions and helped craft an itinerary that included contingencies if the groups decided to split. She found wonderful hotels and dining spots for our group. I've already recommended her to others can't wait to work with her again for future trips!!”
