You can spend your days exploring Tokyo’s futuristic electronics districts, hunting down filming locations from your favorite anime series, or dining at tiny, underground izakaya bars before slowing down in Kyoto to wander through towering bamboo groves and historic geisha districts.
If you are chasing a slower, more authentic pace, you can head into the hidden hot spring towns of Tohoku to soak in a steaming outdoor onsen, spend a night at a secluded mountain ryokan inn, or go forest bathing under the mossy, ancient canopy of Yakushima’s fairytale forests. It’s a country built for intentional exploration, where you can browse centuries-old artisan craft markets for the perfect handmade ceramic souvenir, time your trip to watch a traditional moon-viewing ceremony, or just grab a warm can of coffee from a vending machine on a misty mountain road.

Retirement done right
Reviewed By Roger G. - Vientiane | Traveled to Laos | East and Southeast Asia
My wife and I recently retired. We’ve both spent all of our life working and building our family, well now it’s time for us to explore the world. We wanted to go big and travel to all of their places that we’d looked at in our travel books. Rachel made planning so easy and stress free. From departure to arrival to navigating to our hotel. Everything was made easy because Rachel planned it just so. We are using her for all of our upcoming trips.

A trip to remember
Reviewed By Dorothy A. - Manila | Traveled to Philippines | East and Southeast Asia
My husband always promised me that he would take me to the Philippines one day. Unfortunately, he passed before he could make on that promise. Rachel helped me to plan the most beautiful trip in his honor. He would have loved it so much. Thank you Rachel!

Felt safe
Reviewed By Louise B. - Hi Chi Minh | Traveled to Vietnam | East and Southeast Asia
As a single women traveler, it can be intimidating to travel and try new things without knowing what you’re walking in to. I addressed these things with Rachel and she helped me to plan a trip that was safe yet adventurous. I’ve never felt safer in a foreign country and it was thanks to Rachel.

Dreams do come true
Reviewed By Charles S. - Tokyo | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
I had so much fun making my way through Tokyo. Rachel helped me get tickets to the Ghibli museum and helped me navigate to some of the most picturesque areas in Tokyo. My dreams came true all because Rachel helped me!

Such a unique trip
Reviewed By George K. - Shanghai | Traveled to China | East and Southeast Asia
Doing a trip yourself is so able, but the problem is we’ve never been and we don’t know all of the cool things to do. Rachel helped our family plan the perfect summer trip that made my kids excited to go back to school and tell all of their friends. We can’t wait to use her for our next trip.
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
