The Japan Travel Essentials
The 5-week course for introverted travellers who want to save time, costs and energy in creating unique Japan Travel Experience!
First off, let me ask you...
Are you an introverted traveller?
let's do a little quiz together. Ready?
You value your time alone. When interacting with others, you prefer a 1:1 setting to a big group discussion.
You need some time to recharge yourself after visiting busy places and too much socialising.
You are good at observing other people's behaviours and easily notice what's around you.
You want to ask meaningful questions and give some thoughts to things you care about.
If you've got more than one yes, welcome my friend!
You're a fellow introverted traveller!!
Let me guess...
Here's what's in your mind!
-
I like to travel solo and usually meet people along my journey. How easy is it to communicate with Japanese people? Should I worry about the language barrier?
-
I use too much of my energy when visiting busy places. How can I avoid the crowds as much as possible while travelling?
-
I'm interested in the quiet countryside and rural areas. What's the best way to find the areas that match my interest among many great choices?
-
I'm keen to know more about Japanese culture and history. Maybe I should hire a tour guide or join a group tour? But spending too much time with someone I don't know well makes me tired and these tours are out of my budget.
-
I want to keep my travel plan adjustable. How can I create an itinerary like that?
Imagine if...
You knew exactly what to say in Japanese and what to expect in different possible scenarios when asking for help and when interacting with locals.
You got to appreciate cultural heritage sites and natural landscapes that you are excited about without being bothered by the huge crowds because you knew exactly where and when to visit and what to look out for at each place.
You had the freedom to adjust your travel plan even during your trip
You would travel independently without worries and feel enlightened and inspired!
Japan has become a popular destination for travellers, with the number of visitors arriving in Japan growing for the 8 straight years through 2019 before the pandemic hit.
With Japan’s border opening, major tourist attractions are already full of tourists from all over the world.
And if you don't plan your trip well, this means you will need more time to explore tourist attractions with longer queues to get in, more money to find accommodation and activities in busy times of the year, and more energy to complete your journey while being surrounded by the crowds.
In order to protect your time, costs and energy, it’s essential to plan your trip better and travel smarter.
The best way to do that is to learn about Japan ahead of planning and travelling, be aware of what you should expect during your trip and make plans accordingly.
Hi, I'm Miyuki!
I'm a Japanese-English speaking licensed guide and independent travel adviser, with my mission in bridging Japan and fellow travellers like you.
Originally from Japan, I was educated in the UK, have worked in an international environment and have gained immersive travel experiences in a few dozen countries.
I’m an introvert and sensitive to what’s surrounding me, meaning that I’m highly aware of small changes in natural landscapes but I’m less tolerant of busy places.
I've done lots of solo travelling. What I always enjoy is chatting with locals I meet along my journey.
I often engage in deeper conversations because I love learning about their cultures and their different ways of thinking. These experiences have led me to new discoveries and learnings.
I do lots of research before my trip and prepare myself well. At the same time, I like to make my travel plan adjustable and flexible.
Even with a travel plan, travelling is always unpredictable, which, I believe, makes travelling so much fun. But unexpected events can lead to disappointment or worries sometimes. I have experienced all sorts of feelings during my international and domestic travel experiences but have almost always found serendipity from my experiences, which I felt very grateful for.
Through such precious encounters,
I always find myself feeling energised, encouraged and enlightened during and after my trip.
I have travelled across Japan extensively and am currently focused on travelling more within Kanto, Chubu and Kansai – the 3 regions on the main Honshu island with a great number of historically and culturally significant sites as well as the most developed public transport network.
My style of travelling is to visit the right place for the right activity -- whether it's visiting historically and culturally important sites or participating in cultural activities. I trust that locals know the best of the region, so when visiting places even within Japan, I connect with local guides to hear their stories and their recommendations. I also enjoy sampling local food and love appreciating regional and seasonal landscapes.
Would you like to create your unique Japan Travel Experience that will become a memory of your lifetime?
Let me show you the best way to travel deeper and smarter!

Real Words from a Fellow Traveller
"Having never been to Japan before, or known anybody who has, I just needed some confidence that my plans are achievable.
It's the little things like knowing what are good/bad areas in larger cities for accommodation or booking attractions/experiences ahead of time which make you feel more at ease as a solo female traveller.
Being able to talk to Miyuki face to face at the start, which gives more confidence that the advice you are getting is tailor made to you and not just something that has been copied and pasted from the internet.
Miyuki has also been patient with me changing my itinerary, providing me with the benefits of adding in an extra city and swapping around the order of my visits.
Miyuki also helped with my alternative accommodation choices, giving me the confidence to go ahead and change the accommodation which I had initially researched for weeks before choosing.
I also think that the travel app Miyuki has recommended will be invaluable on the trip itself.
I am excited and confident about my trip now.
Taking advantage of her offer of a Hikone tour also means that I am brave enough to stop off and do a tour in between cities and accommodation."
