Jake provides a one-of-a-kind travel experience with his Japan trips. Rather than just taking you through shops, he introduces you to the people that have run them for generations and helps build a connection with them. You are no longer just a tourist- you get to slow down and actually feel what it’s like to be a guest of the community.
