Dear Michele and William, thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly such a privilege to help you plan your very first trip to Japan. I’m so glad the experience felt easy and enjoyable from the start, and that the itinerary helped you make the most of your time. Knowing you got to do everything you hoped for means the world to me. It was such a joy to be part of this special adventure with you.

Warm Regards,
Cory

Hi Janine,

It was such a pleasure and a real joy putting together your itinerary. I honestly loved every moment of creating this trip for you. I’m so happy to hear it all worked out so well and that you had such a fun time exploring Japan.

From Tokyo to Kyoto to Osaka, it sounds like your journey was filled with a perfect mix of culture, history, creativity, and of course, amazing food. I’m thrilled you got to enjoy Ghibli, try your hand at calligraphy, and dive into all those historical sites, and I can just imagine all the walking adventures in between each delicious meal.

Thank you so much for sharing how it all went. It truly means a lot, and I’m so glad Japan left you with such great memories.

Warm Regards,
Cory

Hi Farhat, thank you so much!
I’m absolutely thrilled to hear that the trip was such a hit and that you and the ladies loved every minute of it. It was a joy putting together your itinerary and choosing spots that matched your vibe—stylish, well-located, and full of charm.

I’m so glad I could be there when any little bumps popped up, it's all part of the journey, and I’m always just a message away. Can’t wait to help you plan the next adventure when the (Japan) travel bug bites again! Japan is always ready for round two :)

Warm Regards,
Cory

Thanks so much, Hilary! I'm really glad to hear everything went smoothly. I’m so grateful you trusted me to handle the logistics—from booking hotels and trains to planning a curated itinerary with the right balance of sights, experiences, and downtime, all with the little details taken care of. It means a lot to be part of someone’s Japan adventure. My goal is always to make things seamless so you can fully enjoy the experience, soak up the culture, and maybe even fill your suitcase with a few too many souvenirs.
Thanks again for letting me be a part of your trip!

Hi Sara,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. I’m genuinely happy to hear you had such a fantastic time in Japan overall, it was a real pleasure to be part of your journey.

Your comments are incredibly helpful as I continue to fine-tune every detail. Regarding the transfers: the original trip was planned for three of you. When a fourth traveler was added and your hotels changed, I immediately contacted the car company—twice, by phone and message—to confirm the updated information. They assured me everything was set, but unfortunately, that wasn’t reflected on the ground. Fortunately, I was monitoring things closely, spotted the issue in real time, and got in touch with the driver directly. The car arrived at the correct hotel shortly after, with only a brief delay, and I’m glad it didn’t interrupt your plans. That said, I took the experience seriously and have since moved to a new provider who’s been consistently reliable, responsive, and professional.

Hakone is beautiful, but its transportation system can be famously tricky, even for locals. That’s why I included detailed instructions, maps, and guidance throughout your itinerary. Still, I completely understand how navigating in a new country, can make things more challenging. That’s exactly why I stayed in close contact—answering messages and calls quickly—so you'd always have support when needed. Being available like that is something I believe makes a real difference for travelers.

What matters most is that you had a smooth, memorable, and meaningful experience, and I’m so happy to have played a part in that. It was a joy bringing your trip to life, and I’d love to help you explore even more of Japan next time. There’s always another corner to discover, and I’d be thrilled to plan it with you.

Warm Regards,
Cory

Trish, I can’t tell you how much your message means to me—thank you. It’s one thing to help plan a trip, but being invited into someone’s travel story is really something special! From the very beginning, you brought such great energy and thoughtfulness to the planning process.

I know planning a trip across the world can feel a bit overwhelming, so I’m really glad to hear it felt easy and low stress for you. That’s exactly what I aim for. Your feedback means a lot, and I’m so grateful for your trust throughout the whole process.

I’d love to help again whenever you’re ready for your next adventure, big or small. Until then, I hope the memories from this trip stay with you and bring a smile whenever you think back on it.

Wishing you and your beautiful family the very best!
Warm Regards,
Cory
