A Journey of Culture and Elegance With a long-held fascination for Japan, I found myself unable to precisely define “what do I want to see or do?” I only knew I was irresistibly drawn to the culture, people, beauty, and history of this remarkable country. The team at Be in Japan truly transformed this vague longing into a well-curated, unforgettable journey. They helped me navigate the myriad choices of what to experience, where to go, and when to visit, creating a seamless itinerary that brought Japan’s essence alive. Though I originally planned to travel alone, I was fortunate to share the journey with my partner. Together, we discovered that Be in Japan had crafted an experience that went beyond our expectations. From opportunities to mingle with locals in hidden, authentic settings to moments of rare beauty and historical insight, each detail was thoughtfully curated. Our accommodations and dining experiences were nothing short of exquisite, radiating elegance and sophistication that perfectly complemented Japan’s refined charm. I had chosen not to let budget limit our adventure, and what we experienced was worth every moment and more. Thank you, Be in Japan, for a journey that was once a dream and is now a treasured memory.

Travelling with Be in Japan was one of the best decisions I’ve made. As a solo traveller, I felt supported every step of the way without ever losing that sense of independence. My trip was unforgettable, the landscapes were pure magic, and the outdoor experiences were perfectly curated. Hiking Mt. Fuji was the absolute highlight. It wasn’t just a physical challenge, it felt like a personal milestone. Japan came alive for me in a way I never expected.

At 82, I’ve travelled extensively, but Japan offered something truly special. With my love of history, I was captivated by Kyoto’s ancient temples, Nara’s quiet grandeur, and the layers of tradition woven into daily life. Be in Japan brought it all to life in such a thoughtful way, from conversations with local artisans to peaceful ryokan stays. The pace was perfect, the food outstanding, and the sense of connection deeply moving. Travel, it turns out, can still surprise and delight- even in your 80s.

We were looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure, and ‘be in Japan’ crafted a beautiful itinerary. Hiking through the ancient forests of Yakushima and exploring quiet, untouched villages was exactly what we needed. Seeing the snow monkeys was a highlight for us.

This trip was something really special for me and my daughter. We both fell in love with Tokyo, the energy, the people, and especially the food. Every experience felt thoughtful and personal, from hidden ramen spots to the hands-on workshops. It was the perfect mix of fun and connection. We came home with full hearts (and very full stomachs).

We’ve travelled a lot over the years, but Japan completely captivated us. The way Be in Japan wove together incredible food experiences — from tiny neighbourhood eateries to elegant kaiseki meals — was just superb. We loved discovering contemporary art tucked into quiet corners of the city and spending time in beautifully curated shops. Every day felt like a new layer of Japan unfolding. It was inspiring, delicious, and deeply enjoyable

We’d always dreamed of seeing Kyoto’s Golden Trail, the temples, the gardens, the old-world beauty. But Be in Japan turned it into something far more meaningful. Sitting with a Zen temple master, walking through misty green tea fields, sharing a farm-to-table meal with local producers… these were the moments that stayed with us. It wasn’t just sightseeing, it was soul-stirring. It was very thoughtfully curated.

As a flight attendant with only a few days to explore, ‘be in Japan’ made my 3-day Tokyo adventure unforgettable. They tailored the perfect itinerary, blending iconic sights with hidden gems I’d never have found on my own. From sipping coffee in a tucked-away café to watching the city lights from a rooftop bar. Highly recommend for anyone with as in Tokyo!

Our winter getaway to Hakuba was an absolute blast.’ My teens had a fantastic time on the slopes, and we all loved exploring the local food scene. Watching the snow monkeys up close and visiting ancient castles were highlights of our trip. After the snowy adventure, we explored the vibrant cities of Osaka and Tokyo, tasting our way through the best local spots. The perfect mix of fun, history, and foodie delights!

As a single mum, planning a trip to Japan with two teens felt overwhelming, but ‘be in Japan’ took all my worries away. They organized everything, from fantastic hotels to a rail pass that covered our two-week journey from Tokyo to the south of Kyushu. The whole experience was so smooth and the kids loved the theme parks- Disney and UFJ and everything in between. We’re already planning our second trip with them!
