Yuka Mission

I believe the best trips balance authentic connection with thoughtful ease. Growing up in Japan and now living in California, I understand both sides of the traveler’s perspective, from the excitement to the culture shock, the language barriers, and the little details that can make or break a journey. With me, you get insider Japan expertise through hidden izakaya, boutique ryokan, countryside retreats, and cultural gems beyond the tourist trail. I also bring pet-friendly travel know how, from curated hotels to special perks that make your furry family feel welcome. Most importantly, I offer heartfelt support before, during, and after your trip. I am here not just as a planner but as a trusted travel partner who cares about your experience from start to finish.
