The trip as a private commission.
Ryokan buy-outs, helicopter transfers over Mt Fuji, Michelin-starred counters reserved six months ahead. Luxury Leisure is Odaduu's flagship practice — built for travellers whose time is more valuable than their itinerary.
Beyond the temple gate.
Itineraries designed in partnership with monks, masters and makers. Cultural Journeys open the quiet Japan — the 6 AM incense services, the back-room ateliers, the rituals that don't appear in any guidebook.
Japan, off the pavement.
Powder in Niseko, UNESCO rainforest on Yakushima, sea kayaking the Seto Inland Sea. Adventure & Nature programmes combine serious outdoor access with the soft landing of onsen and kaiseki at the end of every day.
The country's best dining rooms are not online.
Counters of eight. Lists of one. Relationships earned over years. Our Culinary Tours route meal by meal — Tokyo to Kyoto to Osaka — through Japan's most difficult reservations and its quietest, finest shokunin.
