Land Operations and Travel Advising
About
We are fully licensed by the Japanese government to provide domestic Land Operations and have been in business as a cycling and travel specialist in Japan for more than 10yrs. Our staff is 100% bi-lingual (Japanese / English) so we can address both native languages with ease of communication. The added specificity of cycle touring allows us to especially help those who are traveling by bike with almost any of their needs including equipment, transfers and support.
Land Operator
A Japan Land Operator is the company entrusted by a Travel Agent (foreign or domestic) to perform vetting, arrangement and booking of various tour resources such as administration, accommodations, land transport, transfers, entertainment and dining. We work closely with the Travel Agent or Tour Operator to ensure the safety, performance and qualification of the providers so that the Tourist may enjoy the highest quality and safest trip possible.
Travel Advising
We also provide enhanced Travel Advising services that are similar to a Travel Concierge to assist customers with more detailed arrangements, research and in some cases problem solving when unexpected issues arise. In short, we strive to become the expert for handling the small details that make your travel experience the best it can be.
