The Japan Travel Pros Story: Our “Why”

At Japan Travel Pros, we’ve been living and traveling in Japan for decades. Back in the day, few signs were in English, the yen was exorbitantly expensive, and in general Japan once seemed like a foreign and inaccessible place. Fast forward to the present time, and Japan is one of the most sought-after global travel destinations. Prices are reasonable if not downright cheap, and English is more prevalent. And yet, many tourists continue to visit the same “Golden Route” of Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka (and largely doing the same things as everyone else once there).

That’s why we started Japan Travel Pros. Combining our collective experience and skills in travel planning, booking, logistics, education & guiding, we formed a team of passionate travel experts who are dedicated to serving visitors as the travel planners for your Japan trip. We’ve worked for some of the biggest names in the travel business, including front-line service & support. It’s our pleasure to put that experience to your advantage, helping you navigate this amazing destination in the most authentic, unique & personalized ways possible.
