Itineraries
Itineraries are always private, fully personalized meaning no formated packages or pieces of tourist ready segments of packages. These are geared at small parties yearning for non-generic, non-mass tourism experiences. Itineraries are based on your wishes, envies and articulated around off-record destinations and settings. These will appeal to sentient grown-up travelers wishing for a non-mass touristic experience of Japan starting with Tokyo and nearby quiet territories. Guests include senior travelers, seeking moments of calm, beauty, green, nature and a variety of Japanese food with a focus on comfort in uncompromisingly authentic, uncrowded lovely locations, even inside urban Tokyo. Conventional touristic destinations that are well covered by guidebooks and online information are not part of the itineraries and experiences offered here. Expect genuine, immersive insider days in Japan you won’t forget. Tours start from a comfortable one day in Tokyo province and countryside. Tokyo inner city is also a destination for unique vistas. No tour is the same. There are no fixed formula or preprogrammed packages. Itineraries are built through sustained dialogue with you.
Food, moods, landscapes, encounters
Food, moods, landscapes and encounters are the key elements of a lovely day, all selected for beauty and wrapped into comfort. Let’s start a day at a Tokyo countryside farmer’s market followed by a visit and tasting party at a saké factory, a slow traditional lunch in lovely settings you will find it hard to leave, an craft atelier visit and a deeply silent shrine walk before heading back to the busy city center. This is only but an example of a day you will cherish as one of the best of time you had in Japan.
Starting from one day
Keep one day off your Tokyo urban to disconnect and enjoy a day of slow enjoyment and gastronomy in the countryside territories of Tokyo. What about a farmers’ market, a private saké factory intimate visit, a wonderful traditional lunch in lush green environement near a river, a shrine for you alone and a craft atelier to end up before cruising back to central Tokyo?

Guiding and Escort
Tours are discreetly led, in English, French, at times silently, and invisibly when needed. The assumption is that your are in Japan to taste moods and seep in ambiances authentically Japanese that do not always deserve non-stop comments. In many settings, silence fits quite well. However, expert explanations, help with food enjoyment, matters of manners and rules are always delivered when needed. Except in some circumstances, you enjoy meals with your party alone unless you request your leader to partake with you. Your leader is standing not far away to help when needed. Remote guiding - a still very uncommon approach - to some destinations using the usual apps can be integrated to your itinerary.
Comfort
Comfort is a priority, not a luxury. It starts with time management, reasonably planning your single day, or days with destinations selected for depth and contentment. Cramming the maximum of destinations in a marathon day is not the key to enhancing that feeling of being here, in Japan. Contemplation and rush do not mix well. Comfort also means selected restaurants and places to further slow down where Japanese beauty is adorned with elements of enhanced comfort.
Japan for Senior Travelers
Senior travelers are more than welcome. Itineraries are always designed to take into account extra comfort, well thought timing and a no haste approach for senior travelers visiting Japan from far away. Extra comfort means careful day schedule design where authentic slow food and slow life are integrated with relaxing time for detente in selected locations, stress free means of transportation and western type of seating arrangement guaranteed. Let’s enjoy Japan with a personal plan even for a day, away from mass tourism and hectic days.
