Once captivated by art books on Japan in Paris, Pascale made the leap from dream to reality. A decisive marriage became an invitation to settle on this archipelago — where she has lived, worked and immersed herself ever since.
From the neon lights of Shibuya to the quiet rigour of Buddhist endurance rites, from a lunch at altitude with a sweeping view to a moment of stillness before a Shinto deity — Pascale proposes to walk you along paths both new and familiar, tailored entirely to your wishes.
Hidden Kyoto neighbourhoods, Nara's sacred deer, the natural jewel of Hakone, the grand and intimate corners of Tokyo — every tour is a conversation, not a programme.

Getting around Japan just got easier. Our partner Noritomo offers carpooling services across Japan — perfect for travelers wanting to explore beyond the train lines.
Visit NoritomoWe were completely lost in the backstreets of Gion when we stumbled upon the tiniest shop imaginable. The owner, an elderly man, wound up a box and played Debussy. I cried. I bought three.
I used to drink coffee by the litre. After a tea ceremony in Uji, I came home and ordered proper ceremonial matcha. Six months later, I have not touched coffee once. Japan rewired my brain.
My guide warned me. Don't go in there unless you have time. I thought I would browse for 20 minutes. Three hours later, 40,000 yen lighter, I was sprinting through Akihabara. No regrets.
