How to Book Japan Masterclass

This masterclass is designed for travel advisors who want to plan Japan with confidence, cultural respect, and informed judgment—without guessing, scrambling, or relying on fragmented information.

Japan isn’t a destination you can plan well by memorizing hotel lists or copying someone else’s itinerary. It requires context, decision-making, and an understanding of why things work the way they do.

That’s what this training is built to teach.

You’ll Learn How to

  • Think through Japan itineraries with purpose

  • Understand pacing, routing, and regional flow

  • Evaluate client fit and expectations realistically

  • Make planning decisions based on culture, logistics, and lived experience—not trends

  • Speak about Japan with confidence to clients and peers

This is not about shortcuts.
It’s about learning how to think like a Japan planner.

How This Training Is Taught

This is a live, experience-driven training designed for travel advisors who want to understand Japan deeply—not just book it correctly, but plan it well, price it confidently, and speak about it with authority.

You’ll learn how to approach Japan itineraries with cultural awareness, sound judgment, and logistical understanding—so you’re no longer guessing, copying, or stitching together advice from scattered sources.

Whether you’re just beginning to book Japan or you’re ready to fully own your niche, there’s a seat here for you.

New for This Session: Tokyo Disney Resort Training

Japan travel doesn’t stop at cities and rail routes—and neither does my training.

This session includes the option to add How to Book Tokyo Disney Resort, a dedicated training focused on one of the most misunderstood and improperly sold pieces of Japan travel.

This class is designed specifically for travel advisors and covers:

  • How Tokyo Disney Resort actually works (and how it differs from U.S. parks)

  • Ticketing, hotels, access strategies, and client expectations

  • How to confidently plan TDR as part of a larger Japan itinerary

Advisors enrolled in Main Cabin or First Class receive a $150 discount on the Tokyo Disney Resort class, and the same discount is extended to past masterclass alumni.

Important Dates:

April 25, 2026 12:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Enrollment Closes: April 22, 2026

✈️ Main Cabin
$449.00

The Main Cabin tier is for advisors who are ready to really learn Japan and want to understand why things work the way they do, not just what to book.

This is where you build real planning confidence.

You’ll learn how to think through Japan itineraries with intention, cultural awareness, and logistical clarity—so you’re no longer guessing or piecing things together from scattered sources.

This tier gives you the full educational foundation of my Japan planning approach, along with the context and repetition needed to apply it correctly across different clients and trip styles.

  • Downloadable guides and resources that support the live sessions

  • A structured learning experience designed to help you plan Japan thoughtfully and consistently

What This Tier Is (and Isn’t):

  • This is about knowledge, judgment, and understanding—not scripts or shortcuts

  • You’ll gain clarity and confidence, but you’re still doing the thinking and planning yourself

  • You’ll leave knowing how to approach Japan trips correctly, not just copy someone else’s work

If you want a strong, repeatable foundation for planning Japan well, Main Cabin is where that work happens.

👑 First Class – All-In Access

The First Class tier is for advisors who want to move beyond learning how to plan Japan and into confidently owning their expertise.

This is where knowledge turns into authority.

First Class is designed for advisors who want deeper context, stronger judgment, and the ability to speak about Japan with clarity—both to clients and publicly—without hesitation or second-guessing.

You’ll not only learn how I plan Japan, but also how I think about it, how I evaluate fit, and how I communicate that expertise in a way that builds trust and demand.

This tier includes everything in Main Cabin, plus two additional weeks that focus on visibility, positioning, and confidently expanding beyond the Golden Route.

What’s Included:

  • Everything included in Main Cabin

  • Two additional live training weeks beyond the core 6-week masterclass

    • Week 7: Marketing Yourself as a Japan-Savvy Travel Advisor

  • More time for nuance, discussion, and layered decision-making

  • A one-hour private consult with Amy after the course to support next steps

  • A $150 discount on the How to Book Tokyo Disney Resort class (April 25)

What This Tier Is (and Isn’t):

  • This is about authority, discernment, and confidence, not shortcuts

  • You’re learning how to think, not what to copy

  • You’ll leave better equipped to plan Japan well—and to position yourself as someone who truly knows it

If Main Cabin gives you a strong foundation, First Class is where your expertise deepens and your voice sharpens.

Tokyo Disney Resort: From Quote Request to Bon Voyage - A One-Day Intensive Workshop for Travel Advisors
$349.00

Tokyo Disney Resort operates under its own set of rules, systems, and planning expectations — and it does not mirror Walt Disney World or general Japan travel.

This one-day intensive workshop is designed for travel advisors who want to confidently plan and sell Tokyo Disney Resort without relying on guesswork, trial and error, or incomplete information.

During this live virtual session, we will focus exclusively on the planning elements unique to Tokyo Disney Resort, including ticketing and entry systems, hotel selection, transportation logistics, park flow, and realistic itinerary pacing. The goal is clarity — so you can guide clients with confidence and set expectations correctly from the very beginning.

This workshop is intended as a specialty, application-focused training. It complements the How to Book Japan Masterclass but does not replace it. No foundational Japan travel concepts are covered.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

  • How Tokyo Disney Resort actually works — and why it’s different

  • Ticketing, entry requests, and access systems

  • On-site vs. off-site hotels and how to choose

  • Transportation, luggage delivery, and arrival flow

  • Park pacing, timing, and realistic itineraries

  • How to support families, first-time visitors, and hesitant clients

✈️ Companion Pass: Japan Planning Preview
from $25.00

The Companion Pass exists because cost alone shouldn’t be the reason an advisor who genuinely wants to learn how to plan Japan is shut out of the room.

This option is for advisors who are in a tight financial season but are still committed to showing up, learning thoughtfully, and doing this work with care and respect for the destination.

What’s Included:

  • Live access to the first two weeks of the How to Book Japan Masterclass

  • Real-time teaching and context around how I approach planning Japan

  • The option to continue into Main Cabin or First Class afterward

  • Full credit of what you’ve paid applied toward an upgrade if you choose to continue

What’s Not Included

  • Recordings or replays

  • Slide decks, guides, or handouts

  • Templates, worksheets, or downloads

  • Alumni access or future discounts

  • Access beyond the initial two-week period

No questions asked. No justification needed.
Just send what you can, when you can.

What Agents Are Saying

The class was really helpful. There was so much information disseminated, and it was all great stuff. It was especially nice to have a list of all of the hotels you suggested. It was also great to see how you give that information to your clients, and it is one area I need to improve on to make it more engaging. Thanks for making this available. Your willingness to help other agents is remarkable.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The way you teach is something special—clear, engaging, and full of energy. You have this amazing gift for making things easy to understand while still keeping it fun. Your patience, thoughtfulness, and the effort you put into guiding us really stood out to me. You’ve honestly been one of the most inspiring and impactful mentors I’ve had in the travel industry. I walked away feeling more confident and excited about what I do—and that’s thanks to you. Wish the were more mentors like you in the Industry. I particularly liked your down to earth, very friendly style :-)
— Hilda
I loved the fact that you allowed us to ask questions specific to our clientele. Plus I loved the conversation between all participants sharing their experiences. The first class encouraged me to think through items clients need to know “Before You Travel.”

Very good class. You obviously know the material!

Amy Thomasson, Advanced Master Japan Travel Specialist & Gold Top Producer at Travelmation

I’ve planned over 100 Japan trips—each one completely custom, rooted in cultural respect, and backed by the level of care I’d want if it were my own vacation.

I don’t sell pre-packaged tours.
I don’t believe in shortcuts.
I believe in building something real—one itinerary, one relationship, one advisor at a time.

As a Travelmation Gold Top Producer and Advanced Master Japan Travel Specialist, I’ve booked nearly $2 million in travel in less than four years—primarily to Japan—and helped dozens of other advisors grow their confidence and competence along the way.

I’ve been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, MSN, Fox News, and the New York Post—and now I’m sharing the exact system my team uses every day to plan thoughtful, high-touch Japan travel.

You don’t need a massive following or decades of experience to become a sought-after Japan specialist. You need sound judgment, cultural understanding, and someone who’s done the work to walk you through it.
