The 1% Rule: Insure Your Trip.
An average trip to Japan costs between $5,000 and $10,000.
This audit costs $99.
Is it worth investing just 1% of your budget to guarantee the other 99% is perfect?
Don't let a logistics error ruin a dream vacation.
STOP PLANNING LIKE A TOURIST. START TRAVELING LIKE AN INSIDER.
I’m Jason Hayashi, an Asia-based travel consultant obsessed with the details most people overlook.
-
With years of experience in the hospitality sector, I’ve curated trips where perfection is the baseline standard. I know that a truly great trip isn't just about where you go, but how smoothly you get there and what you discover in between the famous sights.
-
Living in close cultural proximity to Japan gives me a unique advantage—bridging the gap between Western expectations and Japanese reality.
-
I created the Japan Trip Sanity Check service because I believe you shouldn't need a luxury budget to have a flawlessly executed trip. You just need the right intel before you board the plane. Let me review your plans and show you what you're missing.

FAQ: Japan Trip Sanity Check
No. I am not a travel agent; I am your strategic advisor. I provide theintelligence, direct booking links, and specific timing recommendations, but you will make the final transactions yourself.
This keeps my service unbiased — I recommend places because they are excellent, not because I get a commission.
You will receive a comprehensive digital audit package within 3 business days, including:
- A 15-minute personalized Loom video where I walk through your plan screen-by-screen.
- A PDF Action Plan containing fixed logistics, restaurant reservations you should make now, and curated "hidden gem" alternatives to tourist traps.
Absolutely. In fact, that is the best time to get an audit.
Whether you have a detailed spreadsheet or just a list of cities and dates, I can help you structure the flow logically to save you time and money.
Don't wait until everything is booked to find out it doesn't work.
Yes. This is my specialty.
Japan’s train stations and walking distances can be brutal for families. I will review your route specifically for accessibility, transfer ease, and pacing, ensuring the trip is enjoyable for everyone, not an endurance test.
I respect your time. Once you submit your intake form, I guarantee a turnaround within 72 hours (3 business days).
