Your pace
No fixed departure. If the light on Fuji is wrong, we wait.
Private Japan
Private Japan, planned around you.
Hotels, restaurants, tickets, a private Alphard and a bilingual local guide — arranged before you arrive.

Local access
A roof for blue hour. A kimono house that still ties the obi. Eight seats, not eighty.
Everything arranged
Hotels, tables, tickets and the Alphard are held before you land.
The days
Less checklist. More of the morning.
01
Mount Fuji
Before the coaches.
Leave Tokyo before dawn. We choose the viewpoint from that morning’s cloud.
02
Sakura
The right week.
Under the trees that are actually in bloom. Tea after. No picnic-mat battle.
03
Tokyo Tower
A photograph, not a stamp.
Blue hour, from a roof we use. Booked — not queued on a hope.
04
Kimono
Dressed by hand.
The obi tied properly. Then the day continues in your own clothes.
05
Kaiseki
A small room.
A counter or a private room. We ask how you eat before we reserve.
The way
Four steps. Then you fly.
- 01
Hear
Your dates, your pace, how you eat.
- 02
Compose
A private itinerary built around you.
- 03
Reserve
Hotels, tables, tickets and the car.
- 04
Stay
Your guide stays with you and adjusts as you go.
Alphard, dusk
The car
Toyota Alphard.
A private van, door to door. Not a coach, and not a car called that morning.
- Airport luggage stays with you
- Fuji before the coaches
- Lanes a bus cannot enter
- The same vans, for years
Guides
Both languages. One person.
Your guide is not reading a translation made that morning. A shrine, a dish, a neighborhood rule — answered properly, then left quiet when you want the street to yourself.
Smiling, with the shrine behind them

Questions
The practical bits.
A month is comfortable. Shorter can still work if the tables and the van are open. Write anyway.
Yes. Tell Steve their ages. The van and the days are planned around that.
Airport to hotel in the same Alphard. Bags stay with you.
Tell us before we reserve. Counters and kaiseki are chosen around that.
Nothing is charged on this page. Steve sends the terms with the quote, before anything is held.
