Japan trip planning

Planning your dream trip to Japan? Want to chat with an expert about it? Now you can!

Book an online consultation, and we can co-create your ideal trip to Japan. Whether you’re going for the first time or the tenth, I can help you develop an itinerary that combines iconic sights and underrated gems, and focuses on your specific interests.

Just book in a call below, and send over any relevant information (if you’ve booked flights, specific queries, etc) before we chat. If you would like a longer consultation or additional trip-planning services, or if the timeslot you’d like to book isn’t showing up, please get in touch with me via the contact form on this website.

Things to bear in mind

  • Festive hours: I’m mostly away Dec 18–Jan 6, so please don’t book any consultations in that timeframe without contacting me first.
  • Please ensure your email address is written out correctly when booking. You’ll receive an email confirmation – please check your spam folder if it hasn’t arrived after a few hours.
  • If you would like to send me specific information and/or queries ahead of the consultation, please do so at least 48 hours in advance.
  • The fee covers only the consultation, follow-up resources document, and (if relevant) one bespoke itinerary. It does not include additional versions of the itinerary, follow-up emails, making bookings on your behalf, or trip support.
  • By default, consultations will be conducted over Zoom (<40min), Google Meet or WhatsApp video chat. Please let me know your preference, or if you would rather have a regular old phone call – we can do that! Follow-up resources will be emailed to you as a Microsoft Word document.
  • As a travel writer, my schedule is irregular and subject to change. In the unlikely event that our scheduled consultation time becomes unavailable, I will contact you as soon as possible to reschedule or, if you would prefer, to cancel and refund you.
  • You can reschedule your consultation up to 72 hours beforehand, but please do be considerate of the fact that I will have planned my day/week around that consultation time.
