The motto behind my group trips is always the same: come as a stranger, leave as part of a special family.
Japan is a dream destination for so many people, just as it once was for me. I’ve visited Japan 4 times and even had the opportunity to live there for 7 months. Now, I want to share this incredible country with you and help turn your dream of visiting Japan into a reality.
We’ll discover Japan during one of its most magical times of the year: cherry blossom season 🌸. We’ll begin in Tokyo, where towering skyscrapers, cutting-edge technology, neon lights and endless entertainment show us Japan’s modern side. Then, we’ll discover the traditional charm of Kyoto, wandering through ancient shrines, beautiful gardens, historic castles and picturesque streets.
At Mount Fuji, we’ll spend a night in a traditional ryokan, enjoying Japanese hospitality and relaxing in an onsen with breathtaking views of the mountain. Finally, we’ll escape to Ishigaki, where white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and a quieter, more rural side of Japan await us.
Modernity, tradition, adventure and a little adrenaline — all in one unforgettable journey. Ten women discovering Japan and its culture together, having fun, stepping outside their comfort zones and creating memories that will stay with them forever.
