In June I received an email from Ari and Aki of Japan Travel Pros inviting us to be guests on one of their upcoming podcasts.  It was a thrill to be asked by someone so knowledgeable residing in Japan who considered us worthy of being heard.

Ari is an American living in Japan for quite a few years in Kobe and together with his wife, Aki launched Japan Travel Pros to provide Japan trip consultations, planning, and itineraries primarily for westerners planning trips to Japan.  I visited their website and listened to some previous podcasts, finding them to be very professional and entertaining.  So why not?!

We hopped on a Zoom call one evening here (morning there) and spent over two hours getting to know each other and sharing our personal experiences of Japan travel and why we created Uncharted Japan in the first place.  It was a lot of fun chatting back and forth as though we were in our den, talking with friends over coffee.  The podcast is now out and you can click one of these links to listen on Spotify or Apple podcasts.   We most sincerely appreciate Ari and Aki giving us the opportunity to share our experience about Japan.  Here at Uncharted Japan we are not travel agents, nor do we book anything or lead tours, but if you need a hands on guide to help you with reservations and trip planning, we hope you’ll reach out to Japan Travel Pros!

Thanks Ari and Aki for helping us get the word out about Uncharted Japan!
