Perfect for travelers searching for more freedom during their Japan trip. We take care of your hotels and private guide, and the rest are up to your desires and budget.
Our Omakase Private Journeys are designed to take you only to the places you want to go, at a time and place that best suits you: just you, your companion(s), and your private guide or private driver, who will assist you in getting the most out of your vacation. This option is ideal for travelers who desire a lot of flexibility on their trip. We provide the hotels and a private guide to help you navigate Japan, but you get to decide what to do each day. Whether you are feeling adventurous and want to explore the city, or spend time learning the culture of Japan with your guide, the choice is yours. We understand that once you arrive to Japan, you may want to visit particular sites that you did not initially plan before, or perhaps you changed your mind. Maybe you are too tired from walking around the day before and don't want to feel obligated to visit a pre-paid attraction. Omakase Japan Private Journeys are perfect for travelers searching for more freedom during their Japan trip, but with the convenience of hotels and a private guide taken care of. Since this journey plan is so flexible, please note that entrance fees are not included, as well as transportation, toll, and parking fees.
Travel Japan at your own pace and interests at an affordable price by using public transportations. It's the most economical way to have your private tour.
Our Japan by Rail Private Journeys are designed for those who want to travel Japan at their own pace and interests at an affordable price. A private journey to Japan can be expensive. For a small group of 2 people (or a group smaller than 8 people), public transportation is the most cost efficient way to travel Japan. Japan has the world's most convenient public transportation system. Depending on the cities and area, trains cover all transportation needs. Japan's trains are spotless, quiet, and always on time. However, there is a lot of walking involved if you travel by train since some attractions are far from the station. Luggage handling can also be a potential problem, however, as Japan specialists, we know how to make your travels as smooth as possible. Our Japan by Rail Private Journeys feature carefully chosen, centrally located hotel accommodations near stations and sights. This is convenient for exploring the city without hassle as you travel with our private guides by public transportation.
Travel Japan in style with a private guide and driver for sightseeing based on your interests, as well as the best hotels and ryokans (traditional inns).
We provide a quality transportation service, including a private guide and driver for sightseeing based on your interests. Travel by shinkansen (bullet train) in first class seats, and enjoy reservations to the best hotels and ryokan (traditional inns). We create momentous and customized itineraries exclusive to you! Our tours are designed to offer you a unique experience, including access to destinations and entertainment that are not attainable to the standard traveler. For instance, Japanese cooking in Tokyo, a geisha dinner in Kyoto, fashion trend spotting or antique art plotting, Zen meditation, sake appreciation, tea ceremony, and dine in places often visited by only locals. Any desires or wishes you have for your holiday, we will do our best to fulfill. Private jet, helicopter, or private yacht charter? We can make all arrangements for you in Japan. Let us grant you a marvelous experience in Japan to cherish -- a trip you will never forget.
Japan is a country as colorful and exciting as it is diverse, from electrifying metropolises
to spacious countrysides, sandy beaches to lofty peaks, and luxury hotels to
traditional Japanese ryokan.
Whether you’re interested in cutting edge technology, modern architecture, centuries
of old traditions, nonstop shopping, or breathtaking scenery, you will not be
disappointed; Japan has it all.
A 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 builder,
meet in the private studios of some of Japan's most prominent artists, and much more awaits you on your compelling
journey with the Japan Luxury tour exclusive to you.
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.

our guides were pleasant and knowledgeable and we enjoyed our time with both of them. Joyce was fabulous in Tokyo and Hiro was amazing in Kyoto. Both were flexible if we wanted to add or change something. my only comment would be not to recommend the ryokan we stayed at (if you recall our original reservation was changed due to maintenance and we chose the lower cost option you gave us) but that facility was disappointing compared to our other accommodations.

Our private tour of Japan was fantastic! From the complete, thoughtful itinerary, to the comfortable accomodations to the most wonderful guides - everything was planned and executed to perfection. We appreciated how AJT took our desires into consideration and then made sure we experienced as much of Japan as our time allowed. We especially want to complement the wonderful local guides we had at each stop of our tour. They truly made our trip unforgettable. We would not hesitate to recommend AJT!
