Bespoke Japan Travel
Want to visit Japan but don't know where to start? Let us craft a custom adventure in Japan for you, so you can spend your time daydreaming of the temples you'll visit, hot springs you'll relax in after a day of exploring, and foaming cups of matcha you'll sip while enjoying views of tranquil gardens.
4 Steps to a Perfect Vacation
Before we start to design your perfect itinerary, we'll get to know your travel style, any must-see spots, and your budget. Based on your preferences, we will craft an itinerary specifically for you and your travel party, with as much or as little input from you on specific accommodations, tours, and trains as you'd like. Based on our expertise, we can guide you on the best time of year to visit different locations, and local experiences you wouldn't otherwise have access to.
Itinerary
We start working with you by putting together an itinerary outline based on your unique interests, must-see cities and sights, and desired pacing.
Accommodations
Want to experience a traditional Japanese inn with hot springs and a multi-course dinner? Prefer a hotel with a gym and all of the amenities when staying in big cities? We can recommend and book it all!
Activities
Experiences and guides really do make a trip. To help you get the most from your time in Japan, we can recommend everything from knowledgeable local guides to great cooking classes to the best shrine festivals.
Logistics
No trip can run smoothly without spot-on logisics. We can book bullet train tickets, recommend taxi or subway routes in the larger cities, and organize a rental car or private car and driver if you'd like to get out into the countryside.

About Adeline
Hi, I'm Adeline! I fell in love with Japan on my first trip there in 2013. I was lucky enough to be able to move to Fukuoka, in western Japan, in 2014. I started a fitness studio, where I led group hikes in the countryside and taught yoga classes in English to a mix of locals and expats. In my free time, I loved going to onsen, Japanese hot springs, and learning about the traditional tea ceremony. My husband and I met and married in Japan, then moved to Colorado in 2018 where I spent several years working for InsideJapan Tours as a Travel Consultant.
I started Savor and Soak Travel Co. because I have a passion for travel and love talking all things Japanese culture, food, and language. I love when my clients are able to come home from a trip not only with an album full of gorgeous photos, but also moments where they connected with the people and the culture.
