Fernwayer's Guide to Japan

Discover the best things to do in Japan with Fernwayer's experiences.

Known for its refined traditions, layered aesthetics, and deeply rooted cultural practices, Japan continues to rank among the world’s most sought-after destinations. We have partnered with local experts enable travelers to experience the country’s culture in deeper, more personal ways — through private, story-rich tours designed for meaningful access.

Our portfolio includes curated experiences in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, with day trips to surrounding cultural sites. In Tokyo, a nationally recognized kimono expert welcomes guests into her home for a personal session on the history of Japanese textiles, offering a chance to see and handle museum-quality pieces from her collection. In Kyoto, guests participate in a portrait photoshoot guided by a professional photographer, with a Maiko (apprentice Geisha) as the subject. The conversation unfolds naturally along the way, opening a window into her world: her daily routines, the discipline it takes, and her story.
