10+ year experience in the travel industry and business travel management. I was born and raised in Japan.
Travel style
As a mom traveling with a curious 7-year-old, a moody teen and a foodie husband, I know how to balance fun for everyone! I specialize in creating family-friendly itineraries that go beyond the usual tourist spots, whether it's exploring Japan or Arizona. My goal is to ensure every family member has a unique and memorable experience.

Manami's reviews
We reached out to Manami with a rough itinerary, and she transformed it into a seamless, more efficient journey. She provided hotel options at different price points, taking all our priorities into account, and crafted a trip of a lifetime. Her deep knowledge of ryokans and unique, budget-friendly hotels off the beaten path was invaluable—she found hidden gems we never could have discovered on our own. Throughout the trip, she was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions. We would book with her again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.

Manami was incredible to work with! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. She had the best recommendations, including many cafes and restaurants that we never would’ve found otherwise. The best meal we had during our time in Tokyo was because of her! Thank you Manami for helping us plan the perfect trip!

Manami made our Japan trip so amazing! We are a family of 6 with 4 young children ages 8 and under — I had so much anxiety going into the trip! So glad I reached out to Manami! Our trip was perfect — we enjoyed the hotels she booked us at and the activities that were planned. She understood the flexibility we needed as a big family — which helped us enjoy Japan more. Would highly recommend Manami to anyone traveling to Japan!
