Discover Japan, Minus the Crowds
There has never been a more popular time to visit Japan. With the rise of social media travel and a record-breaking low Yen, Japan is forecast to welcome a record 35 million visitors throughout 2024. With many blogs, articles and influencers promoting the same over-crowded hotspots, it can be hard to know who to trust, or where to even begin.
Insider Secrets From an Expert
I’m Ben, full time Japan enthusiast, photographer and writer based in Tokyo. I have dedicated the last five years to exploring all corners of the country, building a client list of leading tourism boards, luxury hotels and award-winning magazines. My alternative travel guidebook, Views from Japan, has helped thousands across the globe plan once-in-lifetime trips to Japan.
The Ultimate Time Saver
Tired of spending hours researching and feeling like you’re making no progress? I am here to help! The Views from Japan Planning Sessions are fully tailored to your passions, travel experience and special occasion – carefully designed to save you countless hours searching through generic itineraries and scrolling an endless sea of social media.
