I knew that going to Japan was going to be special, but I did not know the trip would change my life. My life has always been about food, but the adventures, the tastes, the sounds, the discoveries, and the overall cultural inundation made me alter my own life to be even more complementary to what I learned in Japan. I was able to find out so much about the amazing country, its history, and people … [Read more...]

I had a great time in Japan with Eat Japan. We ate some amazing food and saw some really cool things that I would never have eaten or see had I been travelling on my own. Scott (our guide) is fluent in Japanese, and knows the areas he took us to well, so there was never any time wasted through miscommunication or getting lost. We also met a few of his Japanese friends along the way, which was … [Read more...]

Hands down one of the best meal experiences of my life. Amazing food. Even more amazing host and chef. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves. It was pretty much a private dinner hosted by a self-taught chef who's been running the place for the last 26 years. The food was nothing short of spectacular. One of the featured dishes is baby tuna that's roasted over a fire in a bucket full of hay … [Read more...]

Traveling with Scott is a non-stop adventure of fun, laughs, and off-the-beaten-path experiences. The attention and detail he puts into planning the itineraries is second to none. What I most appreciate about Scott's trips is that I don't have to plan a single thing and I can just relax, enjoy myself, and truly be on vacation. … [Read more...]

Scott's guided trip was an amazing introduction to Japanese cuisine and culture. Japan now tops my list of countries for a return visit... I can't imagine not having him by my side for the next adventure. … [Read more...]

Scott's attention to detail makes his Japan tours unique. He plans so far in advance, and so meticulously maintains his local contacts and knowledge that you'll find yourself the only foreigners at a spectacular local festival or eating the most exquisite delicacies in restaurants you would never have found or been able to book otherwise. … [Read more...]

I had an amazing time in Japan all thanks to Scott's in-depth knowledge of the country's culture and people. And, of course, the absolute must-do activities, sights to see, food to devour, and places to visit. I was so impressed with the thought and detail Scott put behind every aspect of this trip, from the amazing boutique hotels and personalized tours to the local spots you'd never uncover if … [Read more...]

I'd been imagining a trip to Japan for years, so when I heard Scott was organizing an adventure there, I had to go. I went in with pretty high expectations, and our trip absolutely blew me away. Of course we covered all the typical spots, but, more than that, Scott packed our days full of incredible sites, adventures, and food that was completely off the beaten track. His beyond-fluent Japanese … [Read more...]

Scott's got the hook-ups even my Japanese friends wonder about, and ask how the heck I got in. For example, the finale of the grand sumo match, Michelin star restaurant reservations that are very hard to come by, and much, much more. I consider myself a very well-traveled traveler, but my experience in Japan wouldn't have been the same without hanging with Scott. So, if you'd like to have a … [Read more...]
