What I Don’t Book (and Why)

While I love curating incredible experiences, there are a few things I typically don’t book for Japan trips:

❌ Dining reservations
❌ Spa appointments
❌ Medical services
❌ Ghibli Museum tickets
❌ Pokémon Café and Kirby Café reservations

Let’s talk about why:

Many of these reservations — especially dining, spas, and limited-entry experiences — are highly restrictive in Japan. Restaurants often require guests to select specific menus at the time of booking, prepay in advance, and agree to strict cancellation policies. Spa and specialty experiences can be similar, sometimes requiring multiple back-and-forth confirmations.

In many cases, these bookings open last-minute, sell out within minutes, or require Japanese-language apps or payment systems.
They also often do not generate confirmations that I can reliably track — which means if anything changes, you would still be responsible for contacting the venue directly.

Because of how much time, uncertainty, and liability is involved — and because agents typically do not receive commission, sales credit, or confirmation documentation for these services — I focus instead on the areas where I can add the most value:

  • Flights

  • Hotels

  • Private transportation and trains

  • Carefully curated activities and experiences through trusted platforms like Klook, Viator, GetYourGuide, and Project Expedition.

✨ My commitment to you is to design a trip that’s smooth, magical, and worry-free — without getting bogged down by services that aren't built for agent support.

If there are special reservations you want to pursue, I’m always happy to guide you on the best way to book them yourself once your main itinerary is set!
(And if you prefer for me to assist with additional specialty bookings, I do offer a concierge-level planning upgrade.)
