How did you get involved in travel?

"I’ve always had a passion for travel, which led me to study Tourism Management in the University. After graduating, I dove into the travel industry, starting as a tour guide and eventually planning and organizing tours.

Living in Japan and China, I’ve dedicated myself to showcasing the authentic beauty of these countries. My travels across Europe and Asia have enriched my understanding of diverse cultures, allowing me to create unique and immersive travel experiences.

One life-changing moment was after a trip to Japan in 2000. Both Japan and China are quintessential representatives of the mysterious East. Inspired by the incredible tour, I decided to establish my own company, focusing on Japanese and Chinese tourism.

We aim to provide travelers with authentic adventures, connecting them deeply with local culture and communities. Join us, and you might never want to leave!"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of the most unforgettable experiences in my career was organizing a cultural immersion tour in Japan. We visited traditional tea houses, participated in a tea ceremony, and explored ancient temples. The highlight was a night stay at a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) where our group experienced the authentic Japanese hospitality and cuisine. This trip not only provided a deep cultural insight but also created lasting memories and bonds among the participants."
