Manami Yamamoto

Manami is the perfect trip advisor. For our request that we want to enjoy the great nature of Arizona, she suggested several plans and made satisfied plan finally, tour of Antelope Canyon and exploration of Sedona. We immersed ourselves in nature and felt huge energy from earth during whole trip. Manami selected Arcosanti and "The Hudson" for lunch in Sedona, so we enjoyed sophisticated mountain resort also.

Although she is Japanese, she is very well-known about Arizona and suggests very interesting trips according to the client's preferences.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Manami. I was attemping to plan a trip for me and my teenage son. I knew little about Japan and found myself frustrated and overwhelmed in trying to plan things myself. After deciding to use a travel agent, I did some research and ultimately found Manami. I reached out through Fora Travel, and she replied in a timely manner. She asked questions and made suggestions via emails. She took into consideration our budget, sights we wanted to see, and other travel specific questions. She offered many suggestion and was thoughtful in her assistance. Ultimately she formulated and presented a meticulous itenerary that even included tram / metro / bus / mode of transporation suggestions. I am on awe of her the detailed assistance that cost me nothing more than if I had planned the trip on my own. She gave us a fuller experience than I could have put together. She checked on us during our stay and made sure that help would be available should something go wrong. With her careful planning, we had the trip of a lifetime, and everything was perfect. If you're considering a trip, this is your person who will make it your dream trip and not cost a fortune in the process. I will be reaching out to Manami again for future trips no matter my destination. If you want an amazing experience, you should too.

We reached out to Manami with a rough itinerary, and she transformed it into a seamless, more efficient journey. She provided hotel options at different price points, taking all our priorities into account, and crafted a trip of a lifetime. Her deep knowledge of ryokans and unique, budget-friendly hotels off the beaten path was invaluable—she found hidden gems we never could have discovered on our own. Throughout the trip, she was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions. We would book with her again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.

Manami was incredible to work with! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. She had the best recommendations, including many cafes and restaurants that we never would’ve found otherwise. The best meal we had during our time in Tokyo was because of her! Thank you Manami for helping us plan the perfect trip!

Manami made our Japan trip so amazing! We are a family of 6 with 4 young children ages 8 and under — I had so much anxiety going into the trip! So glad I reached out to Manami! Our trip was perfect — we enjoyed the hotels she booked us at and the activities that were planned. She understood the flexibility we needed as a big family — which helped us enjoy Japan more. Would highly recommend Manami to anyone traveling to Japan!
