Testimonials from our travelers to Japan

An amazing journey with wonderful guides and exceptional accommodations, Elevate Destinations understood our vision for this special trip and architected an adventure filled with lifelong memories. The itinerary worked beautifully for us, a nice mix of Japan's cities and the beautiful countryside. Every one of our guides offered unique insights into Japan's history, culture, and exquisitely kind people. Truthfully, it was such a gift to be in a place where people care for the land and each other. Elevate Destinations heard our dreams for this vacation and crafted an amazing, bespoke itinerary.

It was so inspiring to learn about the history and culture of Japan. I grew in heart, spirit and mind from the experience. The variety of experiences from the busy energy of Tokyo to the peaceful countryside. I loved meditating with a monk in the temple, the kids loved the snow monkeys, my husband loved seeing the minkas and meeting the families that lived in them.

Our trip to Japan couldn’t have been better. I was nervous about traveling with my 81 year-old father-in-law but Lana thought of every detail, from station attendants helping us navigate the train stations to alerting the guides of my need to be gluten free. Lana’s expert guidance allowed all of us to truly relax and enjoy the journey. I have recommended Elevate Destinations to at least a dozen friends.

We will remember Japan forever. Dominique and Emily are responsive and thoughtful. This is the sixth trip we have taken with Elevate. The only obvious question is when and where is the seventh?
