Fresh Perspectives

We craft well-rounded, comprehensive trips to Japan based on your specific interests. Let us plan something truly special for your limited time in this extraordinary country.

What To Expect

What We Offer

We want to help you experience Japan on a level than far exceeds typical travelers’ trips. With Session Japan, you’ll gain unique perspectives and cultural access that only locals enjoy.

See How We Help
I couldn’t have been happier with the leadership of Session Japan. The cultural access and new experiences I took away left a big imprint in my mind, but also in my heart.

Why Japan

Japan stands out as a beautiful and mysterious place waiting to be experienced. Japan is both intensely modern, yet steeped in tradition. It’s true that you’ll find something inspiring around every corner. So much of Japan’s beauty has managed to remain unaccessible to international travelers; until now.

With its vibrant nature and remarkable efficiency, Japan is also filled with kindness. There's an intentionality in everything that is done here, which means that every meal you eat, and every experience you have, will be beautifully curated. Every time.

This is the Japan we know, the Japan you'll find, and the Japan that is waiting for you to explore.

About Session Japan

Founder and trip leader Sarah Addy has spent more than a decade working, living, and exploring Japan. Her years of experience have only increased her intrigue for this beautiful country.

She decided to turn her passion for the Land of the Rising Sun into a full-time occupation in the form of Session Japan. Japan has always felt like home, yet never stops being an incredible adventure. Traveling to Japan is consistently inspiring and refreshing, and that's what she will share with you.

In Sarah's Words

The Adventure

No matter how many times I've been to Japan, I still discover something new. The culture is entirely different from my own, which means there's never a dull moment. From the design of every detail, to the way Mt. Fuji looks from a bullet train, you'll be hooked.

Meeting People

The Japanese people are the kindest in the world. Time after time, complete strangers have gone out of their way to help, share their sake, or show me a part of Japan I was previously unfamiliar with. Their kindness and care is part of what keeps me coming back.

The Food

No conversation about Japan is complete without mentioning the food. The consistency of amazing food in Japan is without an equal. There's an enormous amount of pride put into the preparation and presentation of every meal. Japanese food is fresh, healthy, and worth the trip by itself.
