Luxury travel isn't just about lavishness, serenity, and an abundance of sensational amenities provided at a destination, it also embraces the ability to access the people, places, and experiences that represent all that is genuine about a destination. You don’t just want to see – you want to be engaged as well. Fortunately, we are able to collaborate with Japan's best artisans and culture houses to allow our guests to interact with these living icons. We have consulted with experts from each field to ensure that these artisans are prime at what they do. Be keen on a marketplace adventure with a Japanese culinary expert, attempt sushi making with a master sushi chef, have lunch with sumo wrestlers at a sumo stable, dine with Geisha at a temple in Kyoto, take a stroll through Japanese gardens with a professional garden designer, meet in the private studios of some of Japan's most prominent artists, and much more awaits you on your compelling journey with a Japan Luxury tour exclusive to you.

Kim was a wonderful tour guide!!! So friendly and accommodating. Also our driver, Mr. Maeda (not sure of spelling) was wonderful and kind! Kim was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and everyone on the tour had a wonderful time! She made adjustments to the tour schedule when she learned that our cruise would visit a few of the same sites that were planned for our itinerary, and she made amazing choices! The included meals were wonderful too. This was the best private tour that we have been on in our 24 years of travel. In the future, if we do another tour o ......

You gave us your best driver, Mr. Aizawa. He was excellent in getting us safely to where we needed to be. Yukiko Ishiyama was a very helpful and knowledgeable guide. She welcomed us to Osaka, went with us to the hotel, and helped us check in; the same helpfulness when leaving Yonago, insuring that we and our bags had a smooth check-in. Yuki had a wealth of knowledge about the places we saw, answering our questions, making sure we knew the schedule and times (breakfast, hotel check-out, etc.). Rie Taki is the best in coordinating and helping to ensure everyone enjoyed the ......

I appreciate our planner Kiyoshi's patience with our specific requests on our trip. Kiyoshi was prompt to reply to my emails every time, and there were bookings that we could not have done without Kiyoshi's assistance. The tour that AJT arranged for us was very good. In spite of a less than ideal weather, our tour guide Joyce did not disappoint, she was able to make the tour just as interesting. The activities and services that AJT provided were as planned and detailed instructions were also provided. I would recommend AJT services to my friends and family. Thank you for a ......

Mr. Sanjay Singh
When you contact us through e-mail or phone, we will discuss the type of trip and services you're interested in. There are many things to consider when planning your trip to Japan, such as your travel date, length of stay, destination cities, points of interest, and budget. Based on this information, we will create an initial “sketch” itinerary that includes an outline of recommended travel routes, destinations, accommodations, transportation type, and services we can provide.
If you're not sure which Japan tour is for you, many of our clients select one of our existing itineraries and modify it according to their interests and budget. Other clients have their own ideas about what to see and do, or even a specific itinerary in mind. Please have a look through some of the itineraries for inspiration. Our itineraries are created by Japan specialists, all of whom have years of background working as a tour guide in Japan.
Our Inquiry Form is designed to give us a clear picture of your interests and preferences so that we can create the ideal vacation for you. If one of our itineraries is the ideal base plan for you, please mention so in your inquiry. We will customize the plan so that it will meet your specific needs and desires.
