– Our mission is to let our local customers experience what we enjoy most in Japan or in Japan local style!! Our Japan escorted/guided tours are fully planned and created by our Japanese guides and originated from Hawai’i or, in fact, sometimes from your home!

We just think about Japan everyday to make the best and most reasonable/affordable Japan tours (or to enjoy Japan 120%). We are fully committed to providing Hawai’i customers with original and unique Japan escorted/guided tours with “Omotenashi” services as we always do to our Japanese customers who visit Hawai’i for our Hawai’i tours everyday.
