Best Planned Trip to Japan!
Eri is the BEST! I have been to Japan many times to visit family and friends throughout my life, but it had been 13 years since my last trip. A lot has changed in the travel world, so I had some apprehension about going but Eri took care of everything. One of the best decisions I ever made was hiring her. She is organized, thorough, conscientious, accessible, and fast! Since she travels to Japan often herself, she is current on all the rules. She walked me through every part of the process from before we left WA (preparing any documents to get through customs), all hotel, all activities (Gibli museum, Team Labs, Kyoto Tour, Kimono Photos in Asakusa, etc.), train & travel arrangements within Japan (Shinkansen tickets, JR Pass), to helping me prepare when coming back to WA. She suggested various options for how long to stay in each city, gave me time frames, and truly made my worries disappear. I have recommended her to everyone I know and will be using her services again. Don't hesitate

Easiest trip ever!
I am not a fan of travel plans at all!!!!! I was so excited to work with Eri for the first time. She listened to my wants/needs, gave me just enough options to not overwhelm me and truly took all the stress off of me. She communicated clearly all my options the once I decided she took care of everything. She booked our flights, hotel and gave us every bit of info we may need. How to get from the airport to the hotel, shuttle info for the attractions, even the bag restrictions for the theme park. She is already working on our next trip. I will definitely continue working with Eri for all my future travels.

Best trip ever!!!
Eri had out trip planned out perfectly. I had adventures tailored just to me and my experience to Japan was so exciting and rewarding! We had seen things most people don't get to experience--tea ceremony, Geisha experience, even a person tour guide. She really listened to my wants and totally came through. When planning a trip, Eri's your person, you will not be disappointed. Excellent job!!!

A Once in a Lifetime Trip, Made Even Better By the
Japan was INCREDIBLE, and our time there was made even more special by Eri's excellent recommendations! In brief, the food, the scenery, and the weather were all so beyond our wildest dreams. When I consulted with Eri on our planned itinerary, she made some great suggestions as to several day-trips we could take outside of Tokyo to maximize our time in Japan, including sightseeing in Yokohama's Chinatown (delectable dim sum), and an overnight stay in Hakone (which was a real highlight of our trip). While in Hakone: * The ryokan that Eri booked for us was perfect -- it was peaceful, and we loved our room. It was just the right size -- the ryokan didn't feel too flashy/touristy * We did end up using the public onsen at the hotel... but no one else was present when we went, so we ended up having the space to ourselves (which was glorious) * The DINNER -- oh my goodness! Eri wanted us to have an authentic kaiseki dining experience at a fair price point, but what she found for us was FANTA

Awesome trip to Oahu Hawaii!!
Eri helped us from the beginning to the end and made sure everything was taken care of for us down to the smallest details of my gluten allergy and finding different restaurants and calling ahead to the luau to let them know that I needed a gluten-free plate. She made things so simple and smooth and made us feel very secure with a trip that we were nervous about. I would recommend her to anybody and we plan to use her again in the future on our next major trip.
