Half Japanese and half Australian, Real Japan is the realisation of a dream to create tailored itineraries for travellers who want a true Japanese experience, not just a regular Japanese holiday.

With more than 25 years experience in Japanese travel and a lifelong interest in bonsai, Japanese gardens and cuisine, Trent is well placed to share and help you experience what the real Japan has to offer. Joined by his partner Maika, who having grown up at the foot of Mt Fuji, but now based in Australia, is an expert in all things logistics. With a wealth of knowledge of her homeland and years spent as a travel professional with both Japanese and Australian travel providers she’s well placed to support your journey and ensure an authentic Japanese experience.

Whether it’s hosting you in one of our escorted tours, creating the perfect itinerary that suits your preferences and schedule or sending you on an immersive bonsai experience, we are ready to help you go beyond the tourist route and experience the real Japan.
