We love sharing stories of our clients with you. Usually, these stories take the form of a testimonial, sent to us after the tour is completed. But this time we have something different for you! One of our clients, Sue, came by the office today to pick up her travel pack. The travel pack is […]
You may have seen Kanazawa was selected by the Guardian newspaper as one of their Holiday Hotspots for 2015. Kanazawa features on several of our tours, both small group and self-guided, and is a favourite destination among everyone here in the UJT offices. Today we’re going to dig a little deeper in Kanazawa and […]
With the Christmas holiday season coming to a close, we are approaching the close of the year and the celebration that entails. Where as Christmas in Japan is more of an excuse for couples to have another date, New Years (know in Japan as shougatsu or 正月) is more important. What does New Years look […]

Today, we’re going to introduce one of the tropical islands that […]
As we mentioned in our blog post on Monday, we think that Japan is a great place to go for a honeymoon, and no trip to Japan is complete without spending sometime in Tokyo. Big, brash Tokyo isn’t exactly the first place that pops into your mind when you think romance, so here are […]
If I asked you to think about Japan, what would pop into your mind? Ninja. Bright neon lights. Sushi. Crazy TV shows. Pokemon. Power Rangers. I bet there’s one thing about Japan you don’t think of, that doesn’t even enter your mind: Japan as a honeymoon destination. That is a big mistake. Let […]
