Journeys
A weather window in Doubtful Sound
Four travellers, one small overnight vessel and a route that could change order without losing its purpose.
View itinerary →Three nights, one forest, one table
A family journey where the longest stay, not the longest drive, became the centre of the route.
View itinerary →One river, two countries, no capital race
An alpine-to-Adriatic route built around a river, two family cellars and one unhurried border crossing.
View itinerary →Lofoten during the working winter
A February journey built around the cod season, a restored rorbu and the rhythm of a real fishing harbour.
View itinerary →Kyoto in winter stillness
A snow-covered garden, reserved for you alone. A dedicated concierge at your side from morning to night.
View itinerary →Hakone: hot springs and a museum in the hills
Three days, one inn: baths in the morning, art in the afternoon, and nothing at all by Lake Ashi at dusk.
View itinerary →Tokyo: the low city and its old shops
Skipping Shibuya and Ginza. Five days east of the Sumida: century-old shops, artisans at work, Asakusa at dawn.
View itinerary →April beneath Mt Fuji
Away from the crowded viewpoints, seeing the mountain from where locals stand. Two hours at dawn, entirely yours.
View itinerary →The Fuji Five Lakes in autumn
The same mountain as the April journey, and nothing else the same — Lake Yamanaka in November, maple leaves falling into the water.
View itinerary →Powder snow and onsen, Hokkaido
Empty snowfields in the morning, an eight-room hot-spring inn at night. Every transfer arranged.
View itinerary →Kumano Kodo, arriving on foot
Three well-measured hours of trail each day, your luggage sent ahead. You arrive carrying nothing but yourself.
View itinerary →North with the cherry blossom front
Twelve days from Kyushu to Tohoku, following the bloom forecast north — arriving at full bloom in every place.
View itinerary →Slow sailing, Okinawa islands
Skipping the busy main island: two small islands, one slow boat, and plenty of blank space in the itinerary.
View itinerary →Late-night tables of Osaka
Led by someone who lives here, into places with no sign on the door. Three nights, nine tables.
