Japan Heirloom is a travel guide for people who want to experience Japan in comfort and style: traditional ryokan inns, beautifully designed hotels, private tours and places that most visitors never hear about.

I live in Japan, and I write these guides to make planning a luxury trip here simpler and less overwhelming.

What you will find here

• Detailed itineraries for first-time and returning visitors
• Guides to ryokan, hot spring inns and design hotels
• Private and guided tour options
• Lesser-known places beyond Tokyo and Kyoto
