Our Story

omotenashi’ is the generosity and selflessness that is at the heart of service

Extrodinary Experiences, Tailored for You!

Travel allows us a glimpse into the locals’ lives, gives us a better understanding of the history, and traditions of other cultures, and lets us learn more about ourselves in the process.

Dream Japan was created in 2020, I wanted to create an agency that could offer handpicked accommodations, unique experiences, knowledgeable guides, white-glove transportation and so much more while delivering a window into the diverse cultures, history, and arts of Japan.

I design Custom Independent travel, Family travel, along with Small Private Groups. The itineraries created are detailed and designed specifically for you. My aim is to have your travel experience fully immerse you in the culture and unique experiences.

My Experience

In 2015 I started the journey of becoming a travel advisor, I have been mentored by a Condé Nast tour planner and president of Esprit Travel and Tours. I have learned from the bottom up, I did not immediately jump into the advisor role but took my time to learn how each trip is created and how to plan out the flow of a trip so it best compliments the way you want to travel. I believe that by doing this I gave myself the best education as a travel advisor to be able to provide you with travel experiences that are special, engaging, and immersive and that best highlight the incredible arts, food, and culture of the country that I have fallen in love with.

I received my Japan Travel Specialist Certification in December 2018, and I am currently working on my Destination Wedding and Group Tour Certifications, along with my ASTA-verified Travel Advisor Certification. I recently had the privilege of attending GTM West 2022, which is an exclusive travel supplier conference.

I travel to Japan regularly to continue to foster the personal relationships I have with the hotels, artists, and local suppliers I use to create your travels. I carefully select tour operators & suppliers, ensuring each one shares the same standards for high quality in their products, that I have. Through my connections with these partners and my personal connections in Japan, I am able to include traditional tea ceremonies, send you to hidden gardens, have you stay at unique hotels & ryokans, and make sure that any local event or ceremony taking place while you travel, is included in your itinerary. The trips that I create perfectly complement your personality and travel style, allowing you to experience the true cultural value of the locations you travel to.
