Japan Travel Genius

This is the most complete, step-by-step program to travel to Japan in 4 weeks or less while skillfully avoiding the common mistakes of most tourists.

We get it. You have the chance to go to Japan. But you don't have the time to comb through all of the forums, discussion groups, and travel blogs. You need organized steps with actionable tactics for the travel and the culture. And you don't have all the time in the world. Your time is valuable and we'd like to keep it that way.

Maybe you're working on a time crunch because your trip to Japan was unexpected. Or maybe you have had your flights booked for months in advance. Either way, I doubt you have multiple hours every day to spend searching reviews on the internet. If you do, that's awesome! Use that time well doing whatever you choose and leave all that trip preparation and coordination to us.

But first, let me tell you about how this course is going to help you and why we're so excited about it...

You have options. You CAN have perfectly working wi-fi while walking around the Golden Pavilion. And you DESERVE to be able to text your daughter a picture when you go squid fishing for the first time. Some say getting lost in Tokyo is a right of passage. But remember what I said? Your time is valuable.

If you have the option to spend your time doing what you want. Let other unprepared tourists be confused at that random bus stop. You'll know exactly how to get to where you want to go. And if you are feeling compassionate, you can help them out.

Okay, this course sounds pretty useful! So what exactly will we be covering in the course every week?
