With Nextaroma, I design premium, different and intimate days in limited destinations in Japan, starting with the countryside territory of Tokyo, where the quiet sides, back lanes, culture and the people who make it are destinations, authenticity a promise, not a gimmick, and your constant pleasure my objective.
Tours are private only, non-generic, away from overtourism and the artificial, uncompromisingly made to order upon listening to your preferences, with a great emphasis on comfort, beauty, non-invasive guiding and a selection of unlisted options. Itineraries are particularly geared at the sensible and cultivated grown-up and senior travelers seeking a break from the urban scene and yearning for encounters with local actors and the simple wonders of authentic Japanese daily life.
Food, culture, memorable landscapes and sheer enchantment are the key axis of a day in Western Tokyo. I invite you to read further, or skip words and dip into pictures, then inquire.

Strolling through Tokyo
|
Walk other dimensions of the real city Tokyo in flâneurs' style.
Strollers, loafers, urban walkers know how sailing, mostly on foot, in the city and suburb territories is personal, somewhat selfish, imagination stirring, and mind soothing. It makes the day glow, especially all the more when you have reached saturation after days of following the touristic trails. Behind the media frenzied Tokyo scenes lay bubbles of real Tokyo, calm, at times provincial like, minutes away from the hype, all set into the dimension of what most travelers are missing: daily life.

Yuzu and Oranges Tours in Regional Japan

Japan is that other still largely unknown kingdom of citrus, the perfect pretext to visit rural territories
Citrus are aplenty here, even before the recent "discovery" of the darling Yuzu in The Western chefs' cuisines. But there is more citrus life. Japan has dozens of varieties mostly unknown, melting sweet oranges that feel and taste like desserts, and all the food and cultural life and traditions attached, with encounters in the orchards.
