We discover inspiring destinations in Japan and help you experience them.
From itinerary writers to tour guides, we all share two things: a love for travel and a passion to help others experience all the wonders Japan has to offer. Our greatest reward is seeing our customers return home inspired and fulfilled.
People are at the heart of what we do. Both our travel guides and our tours focus on characterful destinations and the individuals who create them: the restaurant and its chef, the fashion brand and its designer, the coffee shop and its barista. Our mission is to introduce these wonderful people - and their places - to you, and most importantly to help you visit them.
That's why People Make Places is a multi-platform service, with a range of premium travel services and guides including a beautiful hardback book and a handy digital app. Together they provide inspiration, navigation and human-to-human help.
