Lodging
Whether you are looking for a room in a luxury, modern high-rise hotel or a cozy little minshuku, we will find the right place for you.
JR Rail Passes
The JR Rail Pass is perhaps the best travel deal anywhere. These passes allow unlimited travel on JR trains. However, there are many options available, and we can recommend the best one for you as well as purchasing the passes for you.
Guide Services
Japan's culture is very unique and different. Because of this, it is sometimes difficult to understand, especially to westerners. Guides can help to break through the cultural barrier to a greater understanding of Japan and its people. We can arrange for professional, licensed guides, volunteer guides (available only in certain locations) and taxi driver/guides.

Japanese Cell Phones

Internet Connectivity
Japan may be a very advanced country, but they are behind the curve when it comes to the internet. Even many of the larger hotels will have hot-spots only in the lobby. If you need more than this, we have wireless broadband cards that will work in just about every city in Japan.
