The unique and quintessential approach that Alan, Gibwa and Team showed me was paramount to my amazing, unforgettable and life changing journey through Japan.
Their passion, knowledge and incredible commitment to my experience was brilliant and very much appreciated!!

We had a fantastic 10 day trip throughout Japan! Alan, Gibwa, and company were wonderful to work with. They were quick to respond and very thorough. They created a custom journey with many of the must-see highlights as well as some hidden treasures. Some highlights were our bike tour through Takayama with our guide Taka. The festival float exhibition hall exceeded expectations and we’d love to go back and experience the exhibition.
