Your Trusted Ground Operator in Japan

The guides were extraordinary. Our clients came back saying they had met the finest guide they could have hoped for in Japan, and that it changed how they see the country entirely. This was a cruise programme calling at Yokohama, Wakayama and Beppu — two ports I had never arranged before — and TJT delivered at every one. Because they cover all forty-seven prefectures, I can hand them an itinerary and know it will be handled. The food tour and the Zen meditation moved our guests deeply — things you simply cannot do anywhere but Japan.

Our clients were visiting Japan for the first time, so we needed a partner who could move quickly. TJT's first quotation arrived within a day, and that pace never changed. Every question came back the same day, often with an option we hadn't thought to ask for. Yet speed never came at the cost of care — each proposal read as though someone had genuinely pictured our clients on the ground. Of all the DMCs we work with across Asia, TJT is the only one I never have to chase.

We were moving a group of fifty, and every element — hotels, coaches, Shinkansen — was arranged without a single error. The details were where TJT proved their worth. Several guests had dietary restrictions that made the traditional kaiseki dinner in Kyoto difficult, and rather than a generic substitute they arranged a wagyu menu. That only happens with real local relationships. Later the client asked, at short notice, to move to larger rooms — something I'd assumed was impossible by then. Nothing was ever a problem.
