Our shared value

As family and friends, Yuki and Sakura share a close bond that extends to their love for Japan and their shared vision. Discovery Japan was born from the belief that every traveler should have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Japanese culture, history, and natural beauty. Our combined expertise, intimate knowledge of Japan, and our firsthand understanding of the challenges international travelers face set us apart in the world of travel advisory.

Yuki, Co-Founder

Yuki was born and raised in Nagoya. With more than 10 years of living and working experience in Tokyo, he developed a profound understanding of Japanese culture, history, and the art of hospitality. But Yuki's connection with the world doesn't stop at the Japanese archipelago. He has explored 45 countries and 42 states, embracing diverse cultures and broadening his global perspective. His time in the U.S. was marked by an MBA education, which equipped him with essential skills and a profound appreciation for the power of personalized experiences

Sakura, Co-Founder

Sakura shares the same Japanese roots. However, her journey took her beyond Japan's borders. Having lived in South Korea, Canada, and Australia, she's no stranger to the challenges of adapting to foreign environments. Her dedication to fostering cultural exchanges shines through her history of hosting international students during her undergraduate years. Her experiences helping her friends navigate the Japanese system ignited her fervor for promoting and advertising Japanese culture to the world. She understands the unique needs and desires of travelers looking for authentic, unforgettable experiences
