Japan trip planning, without the tour-bus script

Aomori Iko Japan travel planner artwork

Japan trips for people who aren't satisfied with the status quo.

Let me help you explore Aomori — the sleepy train platforms, neighborhood dining, regional festivals, bath towns, and small decisions that make a trip feel personal instead of prepackaged.

A note before we start

This is planning and advice from someone who cares about how the days actually feel. You book your own trip; I help shape it into something worth remembering.
