BESPOKE EXPERIENCE AWAITS

Japan is my favorite place on Earth. I fell in love with it at the age of 10, during my very first visit. It felt like I was under a magical spell—one that has never worn off.

Japan is a country of contrasts: rich traditions and cutting-edge modernity, quiet temples and neon-lit cities. What truly sets it apart, though, is the unmatched hospitality of its people — you’ll always feel welcomed and cared for.

When I plan your trip to Japan, I take the time to truly understand what you want to experience. My goal is to help you connect with the heart of the country in a meaningful way.

Incredible Trip!
Reviewed By LJT - Oakville, Canada | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
Ivy is one of the best travel agents we have worked with and our trip would never have been as wonderful without her help! She is incredibly efficient and responds so quickly to any inquiries, going above and beyond in the service she provides, both during the planning stage and the trip itself. She quickly helped us deal with some unique situations that arose as the impact of COVID19 escalated while we were on our March trip. Her knowledge of Japan was invaluable to us in planning and organizing our itinerary. The final package she provided included exceptional details in the itinerary made it so much easier and stress-free to navigate and get to our various destinations so we could fully enjoy the sights, food and people of Japan. We would absolutely recommend Ivy and truly can't thank her enough for all she did!

Japan for Dummies
Reviewed By Ellen and Arthur - Toronto, Ontario | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
Ivy was amazing to work with. She was so excited for us to visit Japan that she went well above and beyond our expectations. She provided such precise details for us, especially on using the very elaborate subway and train systems. She gave us many suggestions(which we followed) on places to eat, shop and visit.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Asia returned
Reviewed By Torontoyyz - North York | Traveled to Bangkok ~ Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
Most of our correspondence was by email. Ivy is dedicated to pleasing the traveler. She has up to date airfares at the ready, so she returns your inquiries quickly. She suggested I email her when I needed Vietnam hotels, due to possible computer corruption and fraud. She returned with two hotels booked - protecting my credit card information. Ivy has traveled much of Asia and was a resident in Bangkok for one year. I asked her the non tourist places to visit. Fun. I splurged and traveled business class with one of her suggestions ANA: their service and food was excellent. I have Ivy looking for Jan-March 2019 back to Bangkok/KKC. Have her working with you, a good partnership.

Awesome Family of Five Trip to Thailand
Reviewed By Sandra - Vancouver, BC | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
Ivy was invaluable in our recent family trip to Thailand. We had booked a VRBO and she was able to book the rest of our trip and other parts of the journey around this. The type and amount of activities she planned was the perfect balance for my family of five to keep us entertained, allow us to experience the nature and culture, while still allowing us downtime to also explore on our own or enjoy some relaxation. She was super responsive both in the planning phases and during our trip, even at odd hours from across the world and she was able to make last minute changes where needed. She put all our itinerary and receipts in an app that was so helpful in keeping us organized, we didn't have to remember anything except our luggage and passports. I don't think we will ever plan another trip without her guidance and expertise. Highly recommend her services!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
