About Us - all about Japan Journeys
Our company
Japan Journeys has been delighting customers since 2004 and we are the Number 1 provider of special interest tours for manga, bonsai and quilters fans. We are based in London and our staff spend a good deal of our time every year in Japan leading tours, checking out new sights and generally keeping up with what’s going on in the land of the rising sun. All our staff have spent years living, working and travelling in Japan, which is why we are dedicated to bringing you the best of this amazing country. Don't just take our word for it - see what previous customers have said about us.
Our staff
Our team is led by James, who lived in Tokyo from 1991-1995 and Phil, who lived in Iwaki, then Kobe, from 2002-2007.
James' fondest memory of Japan was visiting the wonderful onsen (hot springs) of Hakone on a regular basis from Tokyo. As a result of his love of Japan, its people and more importantly its food, he returned to the UK enthused with a passion to help others experience the Japan he had seen.
Phil's Japan experience began in the rural, northern region of Tohoku, a world away from the bright lights of Tokyo. Here he developed a love for the traditional way of life and some of the best snowboarding Japan has to offer. Following three subsequent years in the Kansai region Phil counts karaoke and an appreciation of takoyaki (fried octopus) amongst his specialised subjects. He will be delighted to share this with you on tour!
